Particulate organic matterMineral-associated organic matterAs Antarctica is strongly affected by climate change and global warming, the factors that mainly determine soil development might also shift from the dominance of physical to biochemical processes. Vegetation is restricted to the margins of the ...
A TDR device generates an electrical signal and sends it through steel probes in the soil. The device measures the time it takes for the pulse to travel to the end of the probe and back. The travel time is then used to calculate the soil moisture content. The cost of aTDR device range...

Pinch back to shape and remove leggy or bare stems as needed. All Types: Deadhead spent flowers about ½ inch below the bloom to encourage more blossoms and keep plants tidy. Soil: All begonias like evenly moist, well-draining soil with some added organic matter. For container-grown ...
While you want to remain competitive, make sure your prices still allow you to earn a profit. Calculate your gross monthly profit by adding up your anticipated sales, then subtracting your expenses to calculate yournet profit—this is what you can expect to take home at the end of each mont...
Calculate the percentages of sand, silt, and clay, which should add up to 100 percent. Nice, loamy soil will be 20 percent clay, 40 percent silt, and 40 percent sand. This simple test can help you to decide what to grow: If your soil is high in sand, it will be well-draining. ...
To find out how many cubic feet of soil you need for your yard or garden, all you need are a few measurements and some simple math. If you have a very large yard, or you need to calculate cubic feet for more than one project, you might find that standard-size measuring tapes are ...
1. Organic Chemistry research topics Organic chemistry studies carbon-containing compounds’ structure, properties, composition, reactions, and synthesis. This subfield explores everything from small molecules to large polymers and biological macromolecules. ...
Low soil fertility Drought Excessive thatch Treatments: Usevericutting to reduce thatch. Aerate the infested area. Remove nearby tree stumps and tree roots to reduce the organic matter on which the disease feeds. Fertilize inside the ring to stimulate new growth. ...
The half-life of carbon-14 is 5,700 years, making it reliable for dating organic matter up to about 60,000 years old, with a formula provided to calculate the conventional radiocarbon age (CRA) of a given sample. While carbon-14 is commonly used for dating, the principle applies to othe...
