As part of a five-state region affected by severe drought and soil erosion‚ the "Dust Bowl" as it was called was result of several factors. Cyclical drought and farming of marginally productive acreage was exacerbated by a lack of soil conservation methods. Because the disaster lasted throughout the 1930’s‚ the lives of every Plains resident and expectations of farming the region changed forever. The settlement and development of the Southern Plains came relatively late. Not recognizing the problems

interactions becoming skewed or unsettled can lead to a rapid decline in the numbers of the mangroves in any environment. A relatively simple example of this would be to project the effects of having a sudden decrease in the pH levels of the water and soil surrounding the mangroves. This could easily occur due to pollution and improper disposal of waste products. At lower pH levels (more acidic environments)‚ the mangroves will begin to be poisoned. Aside from the obvious corrosive properties of having

Sinkholes are incredible destructive unpredictable natural disasters. Florida has many sinkhole occurrences‚ caused by its limestone soil weakening with dried up water pockets in it. Much like every other natural disaster‚ sinkholes do take lives. Sinkholes tend to most occur in the mid-Florida to Tampa area. Though sinkholes are not very talked about or are normal occurrences‚ they do happen and many people do not know what they are. A sinkhole is a natural hole that forms in the Earth’s

Recycling can turn the wasted resources that end up on street corners into a valuable commodity to boost agricultural production and fertility of soil. It helps in providing new jobs‚ developing new skills and contributing to community projects and social cohesion. Recycling can also reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and incineration. There are numerous reasons of recycling‚ including

had not come to the park to play games. No‚ there were soil pits to be dug‚ something that we at Brown Pit Associates take quite seriously. Fortunately for the soccer teams that occupied the fields‚ we were not interested in the soils beneath the attractive expanse of turf. We instead blazed a trail away from the fields through a diverse assortment of meadows‚ brush‚ and woodlands. Only after digging the pits would we know that the soils beneath this patchy checkerboard of varying elevation and

tested how soil would absorb water based on different places. Distance from a group of trees‚ distance from a swamp‚ and different types of soil were tested. From the results collected‚ you can not prove‚ but you can infer that the ability to absorb increases as you go farther away from a swamp‚ and a group of trees. The ability to absorb also increases based on how much silt is in soil. Introduction In the first article‚ which was a research paper called “Surface runoff and soil water percolation

project was to sustain a more constant source of water for plants. A circuit with a temperature detector was intentionally designed that recognizes any rise of soil temperature. The thermistor‚ temperature detector‚ is a special type of resistor whose resistance varies significantly with the temperature. As the temperature of the soil rises‚ the thermal device changes its internal resistance‚ saturating the bipolar junction transistors‚ permitting the current to flow‚ triggering the relay‚ and
