There are several things you can do in the fall to care for your front and back yards. A…

Water is a key to organizing all creatures lives and is important in many land surface disciplines such as agriculture, hydrology and environmental science (Delworth and Manabe, 1989). Especially, soil moisture is vital of importance to plant in order to maintain its life processes biologically. Water constitutes 80 to 90% of the fresh weight of most herbaceous plant parts and more than 50% of the fresh weight of woody plants. On the other hand, increasing population and decreasing water source…

environment. This is troubling as birds perform certain ecosystem services, services humans can benefit from, such as pollination, consumption of pests and bring aesthetic value. Native plants provide a valuable food source to wildlife and help prevent soil erosion. In this study, we aim to determine if there is a correlation between urbanization and bird and plant diversity, and if…

per person in the U.S., according to futurecity.org. Many processes used to get rid of trash is to either burn them, dump them in landfills, or ship them somewhere else. If this continues, these ways will contribute to polluting the water, air, and soil. Soon, it will be high-priced and time consuming to clean up all of the consequences of today’s waste management. The materials that are thrown away can be utilized for a benefitting cause. Thus, we have created New Pangea, a city of the future…

The purpose of this lab was to test for which soil type would be best for food production. The tests included Forest Soil, Floodplain Soil, and Garden Soil. We predicted that garden soil will have the best properties for food production because we expected it to have the highest value of nutrients for plants to grow in and a soil composition that is fit for food production (ex. Water Holding, etc). To test our hypothesis, we ran tests measuring Percent Water Content, Organic Material, Nitrates,…

The riverine habitat was the one from Kichau River while non-riverine habitat was chosen randomly from inland area of Mweka village. This village lies between lies between 37°15’ and 37°21’E and 3°03’ to 3°20’S with elevation of 800 – 2000 m.a.s.l. The rivers present in Mweka…

The agricultural land use zones are explained by two models which are Von Thunen model and Sinclair model. Von Thunen used concept of concentric rings to support his ideas on land use zones which is similar to Sinclair’s model. Each concentric ring has agricultural use which is practiced in it. The farming is more intensive from inner rings and more extensive as you move to outer rings. Von Thunen model describes the significance of distance and location. Von Thunen’s model is based on economic…

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Lignocellulose Lignocellulose is the major component of biomass that has been generated through various agricultural practices, forest and industry (Anwar, Gulfraz and Irshad, 2014; Collard and Blin, 2014). It can be used as primary or secondary energy source to produce biofuel (Zeller and Grass, 2007). Table 1.1 illustrates the various sources of lignocellulosic biomass from the several sector with some examples. Lignocellulosic materials consist mainly of three…

Any unwanted change in physical, chemical or biological properties of the soil, which impacts humans and other organisms or the soil’s natural quality such as fertility and utility, is called soil pollution. Various factors, are considered to be responsible for soil pollution. According to scientists, soil pollution is identified as the damages done to the top soil of the land. Soil pollution is synonymous with the problem of disposal of solid waste. From a large perspective, it includes changes…
