Ethiopia has diverse soil resources. Natural conditions, such as parent material, climate, topography, biotic and land use/land cover changes are largely responsible for creating regional and local differences in soil types and characteristics. In Ethiopia, the history of soil studies can go back ...
The type of immature soil which lacks the vertical horizon’s developments is generally referred to as the “entisols,” often found in association with the freshly deposited sediments, from ice erosion, water, and wind. With the passage of time, these soils convert into other soil types. So...
One section assesses the relative sizes of mesorelief forms and fields in various natural zones in an effort to determine at what image scales the soil types indicated by these features will be identifiable. Translated by Edward Torrey, Alexandria, VA 22308 from: G. V. Dobrovol''skiy and V...
When describing landforms, you might talk about the soil or rock type, the elevation, slope or orientation. And if you wanted to draw a map showing landforms, you would be drawing a topographical map. East Asia is a huge area. It covers 3.9 million square miles, most of which is ...
Infections with soil-borne pathogens have considerable detrimental effects on asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) growth and production, notably caused by the Fusarium species F. oxysporum f.sp. asparagi, F. proliferatum, and F. redolens. To get insight into the systemic effects of fungal infection on...
For example, the USDA’s global SIC distribution map, based on interpreted climate and soil information (Eswaran et al., 1995), overestimates the amount of carbonates for the Atacama Desert. This is likely to be the case for other places with hyperarid climates, such as the south-eastern ...

Full size table Fig. 1: Location map of oceanographic moorings and telecommunication cables that recorded turbidity currents in 2019–21 in the Congo Canyon and Channel, offshore from the mouth...
Part of the book series: Soil Biology ((SOILBIOL,volume 36)) 2291 Accesses Abstract The Magnaporthaceae family includes fungal species that cause devastating diseases on cereals and grasses. The causal agent of take-all disease of wheat Gaeumannomyces graminis, the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe...
Apportioning the sources of metals/metalloids is a critical step toward soil quality protection and ecological restoration. The objective of this study was to identify the potential sources of contamination of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Pb, and Zn, and determine the contribution rates of each ...
