Here we assess the impact of the management schemes on capsaicin accumulation in C. chinense grown in two types of soil (alluvial and lateritic) falling in two states of India (Assam and West Bengal). Some vital nutritional (crude protein, fibre, sugar and acid contents) and phytochemical ...
Basin irrigationwas achieved by simple means, and multiple cropping was notfeasibleuntil much later times, except perhaps in the lakeside area ofAl-Fayyūm. As the river deposited alluvialsilt, raising the level of the floodplain, and land was reclaimed from marsh, the area available for cultivat...
The research methodology we used is universal and can be applied to other locations where high concentrations of certain contaminants have been detected in groundwater in alluvial aquifers. Keywords: groundwater; nitrate; point pollution source; interpolation; distance; variance; estimation error...
For instance, Khadar and Bhangar are two distinct types of alluvial soil found in the upper and middle Ganga plains in India. In particular, Khadar is annually deposited by floods and is rich in fine silt, whereas Bhangar is deposited far from the floodplain, representing a system of older...
(3,600 to 4,800 metres), the vale is sheltered from the wet southwestmonsoon. The population of the Kashmir region is concentrated in the valley, at the centre of which liesSrinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir. The fertile alluvial soil yields rice, corn (maize), fruit, ...
forest and thelichenwoodland zone are in a region of discontinuous permafrost, where permafrost is found on north-facing slopes and in cold air drainagebasinsbut is absent from south-facing slopes and newly deposited alluvial sites. Most of the forest-tundra is within the continuous permafrost ...
The first case (Section 5.4) is located on a lower marine terrace made of marl and shows the influence of agricultural utilization on the geophysical survey. The second case (Section 5.5) shows the situation in the plain itself where alluvial sediment covers the archaeological remains. This ...
Briefly, Fluvisols are mainly young azonal soils in alluvial deposits (floodplain), lacustrine (lake) and marine deposits. Cambisols are moderately developed soils with weak horizon differentiation, and they generally make good agricultural land and are used intensively. Vertisols are productive soils ...
South of the Greater Caucasus, on the Black Sea coast, lies the alluvial Kolkhida Lowland, site of ancient Colchis. South of the range on the Caspian side, the Shirak Steppe, between the Greater and Lesser Caucasus ranges, falls sharply into the Kura-Aras (Kura-Araks) Lowland. At the ce...
Yellow River, also called Huang He, principal river of northern China, east-central and eastern Asia. With a length of 3,395 miles, it is the country’s second longest river—surpassed only by the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang)—and its drainage basin is th
