As new policy concepts emerge, their informed evolution is often hampered by unarticulated differences in individual and group interpretations of what they embody. Such is the case with "whole farm planning (WFP)," a systems-based concept for agroenvironmental management. If WFP is to move from...

Therefore, the incorporation of plant proteins is not only a necessity but also a consumer tendency to maintain its well-being and healthy condition [10]. Despite the advantages in the use of plant proteins for human nutrition, their pronounced taste and poor solubility limit their applicability ...
Development of a performance threshold approach for identifying the management options for stabilisation/solidification of lead polluted soils As known, the main mechanisms involved in the stabilization/solidification of oil-contaminated soils are chemical fixation and physical encapsulation or adsorption [13,...
Slope stabilisation was performed by a soil nail, mesh and gunite combination. A skilled excavator driver was able to carve away the rock to minimise overbreak, followed by shotcreting of the walls. The alignment of the five rows of nails required specially created setting-out software. The ...
Soil organic matter (SOM) represents one of the largest reservoirs of carbon on the global scale. Thus, the temperature sensitivity of bulk SOM and of diff
aLong term composting induces loss of C and organic matter stabilisation. These two processes may have opposite effects on long term carbon storage in soils. To check whether raw materials should be composted or not before being spread on the soil, changes in particle size fractions were quantifie...
What is Vibro Piling? When considering which application method would best suit the installation ofsheet pile walls, there are a number of determining factors to consider. These are: The type and quality of soil on site, described as ‘cohesiveness’. This description refers to how sticky the ...
Changes included conversion of the steepest land to plantation forestry; indigenous forest restoration; intensification of the farming enterprises onto easier terrain with better pasture production; changes in stock type; poplar planting for soil stabilisation; and exclusion of livestock from streams. ...
•mineral wastes: waste from mining can be poisonous, but nature is capable of stabilising it so that its release becomes slow and gradual. •stabilisation: the many creatures forming ecosystems, stabilise their environment. •climate: the world's climate is stabilised by cloud formation, ...
