    Abstract: Soil Manipulation to increase efficiency. The objective of this plant growth experiment would be to distinguish if potting soil could be manipulated in any certain way‚ to maximize or increase its overall efficiency. Our goal would be to determine what optimum combination of ingredients would best increase efficiency in soil productivity to equal the result of hydroponics (Cultivation of plants in nutrient solution rather than in soil). Through research our group came to the conclusion

    Soil properties: Some physical and chemical properties of the soil were measured‚ which are presented in Table 1. The availability of nutrients and even contaminants depends on the degree of soil acidity. The most suitable pH for soil microorganism’ activity is 7‚ as nutrient solubility depends on soil pH changes (Riser-Roberts‚ 1998). The soil used in the present study has neutral pH and therefore does not limit the activity of microorganisms or the solubility of nutrients except for phosphorus

    Geotechnical Engineering Practice | August 19‚ 2012 1 The origins of soil deposits on the earth’s crust can reveal significant findings in the chemical and mechanical characteristics of the soils themselves. It is important to uncover such origins to find how and where such deposits may have formed over tens of thousands of years ago. Marine and Lacustrine deposits are two soil types that are commonly encountered during soil exploration‚ both of which are primarily traced back to either glacial

    (National Research Council 1993). Bioremediation refers to the use of microorganisms to degrade contaminants that pose environmental and especially human risks. Due to its safety and convenience it has became an accepted remedy for cleaning polluted soil and water. A widely used approach to bioremediation involves stimulating a group of organisms in order to shift the microbial ecology towards the desired process. This term is known as biostimulation. Biostimulation can be achieved through changes
