8.5.3 INTERPRETATION Comment on the properties of the soil GENERAL REMARKS: This test is useful when the soil is soft and its water content is near liquid limit. The following precautions are necessary when using field vane shear tests: 1. The vane must be rotated soon (within 5 minutes) after insertion into the depth to be tested as delays of one (1) hour to one day may lead to overestimation of strength by 10% to 20% respectively. 2. Standard rate of rotation is 6 degrees per minute. 3.…

Abiotic stress in plants: an overview: An environmental perturbation such as drought, salinity, chilling, freezing and high temperatures can influence plant growth and, inturn, can prove detrimental to enduring agriculture (Slama et al, 2014). Such kind of environmental disturbance encountered by the plant in field or in vitro is referred to as abiotic stress.Under such conditions, plants advancingly experience altered or abnormal cellular and whole plant processes just to achieve the right…

MYCORRHIZAE AND FORESTRY What is Mycorrhiza: Albert Bernard Frank (1885), in his study of relationships between soil microbes and plants, introduced the Greek term ‘mycorrhiza’, which means ‘fungus roots’. Mycorrhizas are highly evolved symbiotic association between roots of most higher/vascular plants and certain specialized soil fungi (Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Zygomyectes) that colonize the root cortex during periods of active plant growth both in the natural environment and in…

Like other countries in South and Central America, Panama has had some serious environmental issues. For a lot of the country’s history, money had more importance than conservation, and an ethic of “man over nature” pervaded the culture. Forests were chopped down routinely to make room for cattle. However, in the 20th century Panama started to take positive steps in the opposite direction. The country started to create protected areas (including parks and wildlife refuges), write environmental…

antirion bridge, three solutions are compared and finally the surface foundation solution is chosen because of the advantages on construction and safety to use in the deep water and earthquake area. To solve the disadvantage of the surface foundation, soil improvement solutions are presented and analyzed. Fourthly, before design of the foundation, the required performance of the structure should be defined to evaluate the important parameter of the structure. Next, foundations should be…

impact the surrounding ecosystems in a negative way. This can be referred to as forest fragmentation. Forest fragmentation negatively affects the forests connectivity and function. Fragmentation caused by mine reclamation is said to be “two-sided because both the effect that natural habitat has on the restored area, and the effect the restored area has on natural habitat.” (Craig et al. 2015) It is known “edge effects increase with increasing contrast between habitats forming the edge with…

Montgomery is both entertaining, and an informative read. He expresses how soil is one of the most underappreciated resources, and how humans over time have been a prime factor of soil degradation. This book primarily talks about how human infiltration has gradually continued to raise the rate of soil degradation through deforestation, agriculture, poor erosion control, and disinterest in the subject presented. Agricultural soil loss is not because humanity farms but arises from how they…

From the example of forensically significant bones would be in a farmer’s field, the bones found while seeding the soil could be potentially significant if it was human, looked recent for example if it was there was tissue still decomposing and maybe artifacts associated to the time period with the bones, for example an IPhone 6. This would imply forensic significance…
