Agricultural soil science

i have experience being around cannabis growing and breeding most of my life. one of my first connections was from connoisseur breeders including one licensed by the FBI to breed and research cannabis. i knew strains by name and by genetics before the cannabis dispensaries existed. i have a collection of grow books i have read for fun. i can distinguish the good information online from the bogus. Based on my hands on experience and success plus my confidence level i am a novice grower. You need…

Arches National Park This area is changing and here is why. The story of Arches begins roughly 65 million years ago. At that time, the area was a dry seabed spreading from horizon to horizon. The striking red rock features we see today would have been buried thousands of feet below you, raw material as yet uncarved. Then the landscape slowly began to change due to erosion (National Park Service). The national park lies on top of an underground evaporite layer or salt bed, which is the main…

Landscape and habitats are also important because of the chance we have a very cold winter and a lot of snow. One of the serious limitations is the agricultural reasons and because of hay-mowing. Some farmers have signs that say no mow no spray because of this fact. The pheasant is one of the most hunted game birds. They are studied intensely. There are over 800 books give information on the pheasants…

The barrel cactus is easily distinguished from other cacti because of its cylinder-shaped body. It is one of the largest cacti in North America reaching a staggering eleven feet tall. Running down the spines are 3-4 inch spines and on top are rings of yellow-green or red blossoms. Native Americans used to boil them into cabbage-like stews. They would also grind up the pulp and extract the water. Another plant native to deserts is the brittle bush. IT is a small deciduous shrub which grows as a…

Argiustolls which is of the Mollisol order (National Cooperative Soil Survey 2000). It is found only within the Gallatin County of southwest Montana. Blackmore soils are not very prevalent within southwestern Montana. The exact location of the Blackmore soil type is found specifically 1100 feet south and 1800 feet west of the northeast corner of section 27, T. 2S., R.6E. This area has an elevation of 4,800 to 5,500 feet. This type of soil can be found on relict stream terraces with slopes…

salinity has effect on plant growth and development. Introduction Dryland salinity refers to the increase of excess salt in the top soil and also underground water where the lands haven’t been…

Tillage is the physical or mechanical agitation of the soil with tools and implements result in good tilth for better germination and subsequent growth of crops. Continuous practice of modifying the state of soil in order to provide favorable conditions for growth of crops is known as tillage addiction. Physical manipulation of soil is intended to destroy weeds, incorporate crop residues and amendments into soil, increase infiltration and reduce evaporation, prepare seedbed and break hard layers…

Rainforest and ruining the home of the world’s most endangered tribe, the Awá, along with many other native tribes (Chamberlain, 2012). Deforestation simulations have shown an increase in temperature and a decrease in rainfall, which cause desertification, soil erosion, and flooding (Lejeune, Davin, Guillod, & Seneviratne, 2015). Not to mention, forests are home to 80 percent of the world’s biodiversity. Deforestation is liable for the loss of 137 plant, insect and animal species daily (Cho,…

carbon in ocean, soil, vegetation and geologic formations. Oceans store the most however soil holds 75% of carbon on land and therefore play a leading role in the balance of carbon global cycle (Carbon Sequestration in Soils, 2000). Organic carbon can be lost in soil from accelerated mineralization and erosion (Biala, J., 2011). Therefore, the break down of organic materials will produce carbon dioxide and water into the atmosphere. Composting can put organic carbon back into soil with a low…
