Salinization and desertification are major causes of soil degradation in arid areas. Salinization is the buildup of salts in soils to a point that they destroy the physical and chemical properties of soil and make it impossible for plants to take up water from the soil. Salinization is often ...
Artwork: The Pacific Ring of Fire (red line). Tectonic plates are constantly moving—in incredibly slow motion—and we don't even notice most of the time. But every once in a while faults in the plates will suddenly jolt into a new position. Theenergyreleased by this movement creates an ...
The city itself is sinking due to a combination of soil compaction, tectonic plate shifting and extraction of fresh water from beneath the city. All of these factors result in more frequent and more severe water intrusions onto sidewalks and streets and into homes, businesses and sacred places....
fire-soil feedbacks and the establishment and growth of tree species (Fig.5). Where there is a negligible soil fertility difference and no FVS interaction, forests are likely to retreat under all but the lowest fire frequencies,
There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air,water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more,vegetation had been grea...
When you grill red meat to the point of well-done, it changes the chemical and molecular structure of the meat. You’re better off baking, broiling, or preparing meat in a skillet than on the grill. Refined Sugar: The biggest cancer causing food (by far) is high-fructose corn syrup (...
sticky, and dense. Clay soil can look different in different places, but it usually acts the same way: it tends to be slow to drain, quick to harden, and difficult to use for anything but the hardiest plants. In most cases, there is no single definition with respect to the soil's sp...

There are coursing, pulsing, wild things at rest just beneath the soil, calling out not the mournful desire for “Brrrainnns!” but rather the haunting cry for “Raaainnns!!” The near-dead, seemingly-dead, not-really-dead zombie plants of rotany, longing for but a drop of moisture, ...
While the laws of gravity work just fine to model what we need in sufficient detail, there is still confusion of what causes the observed phenomenon of attraction between masses. We have the proponents of “pushing gravity” who say it’s the fluid aether pushing things together. Then there ...
