The purpose of this article is to study the effects of plants cover on overland flow and, therefore, its influences on the amount of eroded and transported soil. In this investigation, all the experiments were conducted in the LEGHYD laboratory using a rainfall simulator and a soil tray. The...
Soil erosion also changes the depth of soil, reducing the amount of earth available for roots to take hold. Some species of plants lay down extensive root systems, both to absorb nutrients in harsh environments and to protect the plants against uprooting by storms, flood, or animal activity. ...
Biowaste effects on soil and native plants in a semiarid ecosystem. Journal of Environ- mental Quality 32 (2), 472-479.Martinez F, Cuevas G, Calvo R, Walter I (2003) Biowaste effects on soil and native plants in a semiarid ecosystem. J Environ Qual 32:472–479 View Article...
The diverse effects of deforestation are mainly causing our environments worse, such as soil erosion, biodiversity impacts and social effects. Deforestation has varieties of social effects on our society; its impact affects us not only humans but also animals, plants and the surrounding environment. ...
Polymer molecular-weight and degree of drying effects on infiltration and erosion of three different soils Low infiltration rate and high levels of soil erosion are critical problems in many soils worldwide. Amendment of soils with organic polymers could alleviate these problems. The objective of the...
However, there was no effect on native phosphorus in soil and phosphorus uptake. The 16-16-8 fertilizer application increased the number of tillers per 2 plants; shoots dry matter and grain yield were higher than in 16-8-8 fertilizer model. Grain yields showed highest response when 1.56 kg/...

The influence of afforestation years on the comprehensive index of soil fertility The integrated fertility index (IFI) in Maxian Mountain of the Loess Plateau increased first and then decreased with the prolonging of afforestation years (Fig. 7). The values of IFI in different afforestation years ...
A previous study has reported that HM ions are immobilized in the soil by using various additives and plants is one of the better approaches to investigate soil HM contamination4–6. The accumu- lation of highly toxic HM in soil affects the microbial diversity, the soil nutrient supply and ...
These measures were shown to have improved the physical and chemical properties of soil and facilitated the establishment and spread of plants (Zhang et al., 2018). In the process of the restoration from moving dunes to fixed dunes to sandy grassland, the vegetation communities experience a ...
