There are several different types of governments in this world. The United States run on a democracy. To have a successful democracy there needs to be a strong civil society‚ widespread education‚ active citizen participation‚ a social consensus and a favorable economy. The three most important of these five are having a favorable economy‚ widespread education and a strong civil society. The economy is an important factor of a government. Since the U.S has a government‚ like Abe Lincoln said

piles driven side by side into the ground‚ thus forming a continuous vertical wall for the purpose of retaining an earth bank. They are commonly used for: (1) water front structures‚ (2) temporary constructions‚ (3) light weight construction where sub soil is poor for supporting a retaining wall. A sheet pile may be of three types: Cantilever sheet piling Anchored sheet piling Braced sheeting Cellular cofferdams The design of sheet pile retaining walls requires several successive operations:

the uptake of nutrients such as P‚ N‚ K‚ Cu‚ Zn and Ca by plants especially in soils low in these nutrients. Since P is the most limiting nutrient in tropical soils‚ mycorrhizas are vital for improving P nutrition particularly for cultivated plants. External hyphae can absorb and translocate P to the host from soil outside the root depletion zone. The thin mycorrhizal hyphae (2-4 μm in diameter) are able to penetrate soil pores not accessible to the root hairs which are about five times larger than

Some of the major effects of deforestation include biodiversity loss‚ local climate change and global warming. Farmers often have trouble raising crops‚ which typically results in more problems‚ such as an increase in food prices. Soil erosion and cultural displacement also can occur. Those who want to address the problem have a variety of options‚ however. Biodiversity Loss A loss of biodiversity often follows a reduction in the amount of forested land. Trees‚ shrubs and other plants provide shelter

melts‚ it can flood land and move the soil. Even something as small as an earthworm can cause erosion. Earthworms and other insects that burrow in the ground make tunnels in soil and reform it. Humans also greatly contribute to erosion. Because of humans‚ the Earth has gone through millions of years of farming‚ cutting down trees‚ and the development of architecture. Humans drastically changed the earth so much‚ that every year one million acres of top soil

edaphic factors were also done including soil sample collection and soil profiling. The samples were then brought to the laboratory for soil pH‚ moisture‚ organic and nutrient content analysis where cat ion-exchange capacity (CEC) of soil are described‚ and classified. Determination of soil inhabitants was done using Berlese-Tullgren apparatus. The obtained data concurred with the accepted general climate and soil condition of the selected premise.

They conserve soil by preventing rapid runoff of water after heavy rains‚ thereby reducing soil erosion and minimizing floods. Forests are also vital for increasing our ground water. Because of the thick humus layer‚ loose soil‚ and soil-retaining powers of the long roots of trees‚ forests are vitally important for preserving adequate water supplies. Forests contribute substantially

clearly depict that the amount of moisture in the soil on the south facing slope is much higher than that of the north facing slope. On average‚ the south facing slope contains 3.5 units of water while the north facing slope only contains 1.3 units of water in its soil. Therefore the amount of moisture in the soil on the south facing slope is signficantly more that of the north facing slope. As can be seen in Figure 4.1‚ all 10 sites have lower soil moisture contents on the north facing slope. This
