This book was released on 1986 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated soil genesis, phosphorus and micronutrient (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn) study was conducted for seven northern Cameroon Vertisols and associated Alfisols. Vertisols developed from Precambrian schist are classified as Entic Pellusterts. Similar soils developed from Quaternary lacustrine and fluvial sediments are classified as Typic or Entic Pellusterts and Entic Chromusterts. The Alfisol is developed from Precambrian granite and is classified as an Arenic Haplustalf. All soils are developed under an isohyperthemic temperature regime (mean annual temperature, 27° to 30°C) and an ustic soil moisture regime (mean annual rainfall, 600 to 900 mm). Those developed on nearly level fluvial plains are seasonally flooded. All Vertisols crack to the surface but lack gilgai microrelief. They are dominantly dark gray to grayish brown. All soils are very compact and dense (1/3 bar bulk density, 1 to 1.6 g/cm3). Clay contents generally exceed 40% in the control section. Organic carbon is low (

Download or read book Methods in Paleoecology written by Darin A. Croft and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-27 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the reconstruction of past ecosystems and provides a comprehensive review of current techniques and their application in exemplar studies. The 18 chapters address a wide variety of topics that span vertebrate paleobiology and paleoecology (body mass, postcranial functional morphology, evolutionary dental morphology, microwear and mesowear, ecomorphology, mammal community structure analysis), contextual paleoenvironmental studies (paleosols and sedimentology, ichnofossils, pollen, phytoliths, plant macrofossils), and special techniques (bone microstructure, biomineral isotopes, inorganic isotopes, 3-D morphometrics, and ecometric modeling). A final chapter discusses how to integrate results of these studies with taphonomic data in order to more accurately characterize an ancient ecosystem. Current investigators, advanced undergraduates, and graduate students interested in the field of paleoecology will find this book immensely useful. The length and structure of the volume also makes it suitable for teaching a college-level course on reconstructing Cenozoic ecosystems.

Download or read book Harvested Forages written by Rodney Dwain Horrocks and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harvested Forages deals with the subject of food for domestic animal feeding. Such food is called "forage" and includes things like alfalfa and other plants usually referred to as "hay." Topics include the ways that this forage is produced, how it is harvested, and ways that it should be stored. Other issues that are dealt with include various criteria and measurement procedures for assessing forage nutritive quality, potential health hazards associated with particular plants and plant toxins, and various issues of plant growth, pest control, and soil fertility--among other topics. This book is essential for any institution with a strong program in range sciences, animal sciences, animal feeding and nutrition, and related programs. - Synthesizes and summarizes a vast and widely dispersed literature in animal science - Serves as a reference for managers of harvested forages as well as all those involved with the forage production industry

Download or read book The Soils of Iran written by Mohammad Hassan Roozitalab and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book addresses Iran’s extremely rich soil diversity and resources, which have developed under various climatic conditions ranging from dry to humid conditions. Featuring contributions by a group of respected experts on Iranian soils and agriculture, it provides comprehensive information on the management approaches needed for sustainable soil utilization and conservation under such conditions, and the attendant challenges. As such, it offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in soils and agriculture in Iran, but also in other Middle East and North African countries with similar climatic conditions. The book contains 14 chapters which illustrate the long history of indigenous knowledge and soil research, climate, geology and geomorphology, vegetation cover, soil forming factors and processes, major soils, properties and their classification. Furthermore, it presents past climate change and paleosols, agroecological zones, soil fertility, soil biology and biotechnology, human induced land degradation and “soil management in space and time”. In the end, major challenges facing the soil resources of the country are defined and recommendations are made to face the future challenges.
