Ecosystems – Grassland vs. Mountains Every single day‚ we breathe in air and take a look at the green grass‚ we taste the blue water‚ we subconsciously analyze the soil‚ feel grey rocks‚ look down on small insects‚ watch the growing trees‚ the flying birds‚ and even ourselves‚ the people. But all of these elements do not exist just to be there‚ they have a further important meaning interacting with organisms. We are talking about a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical

Introduction The consistency of the soil is important information in the field of engineering. It determines the behavior of the soil when it suffers stress and strain. The degree of consistency of soil can do considerable influence on the water regime in the same‚ affecting the hydraulic conductivity for example. The consistency of a soil refers to the degree of strength and plasticity of the soil that depend on the internal links between the particles. Cohesive soils have plastic consistency between

the situation in most part of China. Except people along the Yangtze river‚ most part of China is dry and lack of water. Third‚ to prevent soil pollution‚ both farmers and industry need to take action. According to experts‚ the farmers’ use of pesticide and chemical fertilizers can cause pollution both to the soil and water. Some industries can cause soil pollution too if they discharge untreated water to the ground. Again chemical fertilizers and pesticides make agricultural production improve

What is a soil profile? -A soil profile is a vertical section from the ground surface to the parent rock. Diagram of Typical Soil Profile 10 Points about Latosols or Lateritic Soils Latosols are soils rich in iron‚ alumina‚ or silica and are formed generally in wet woodlands under very humid climate and high temperatures. Characteristics: Low Humus‚ Heavy Leaching‚ Short Nutrient Cycle‚ Red Colour‚ Can support very Rich Vegetation‚ May have A Brick –Like Surface Sometimes.

sow the seed in the middle of December. Cabbage will grow well on most well drained soil types. That means that water must not lay on the ground surface too long after the plants have been watered. Where this is the case‚ compost must be dug into the soil. Shallow soils on a hard rocky‚ clayey or lime layer‚ must be avoided. Cabbage takes up many plant nutrients from the soil. We put plant nutrients into the soil by digging compost and fertiliser into it. A great deal of organic plant food such as

Procedure- I will first visit a site that has previously has heavy industry located on it. Using protective clothing‚ goggles and gloves I will extract several samples of the soil from the site and then take several other samples from different points on the site. This ensures variety of soil to ensure that all the site is safe‚ not just a small area where you

the soil is made up by adding manures and fertilizers to the soil of crop-fields. Both manures and fertilizers are major sources of nutrients of plants‚ so they are used in crop production. Besides water CO2 and sunlight plants required no. of elements for their growth. These elements are known as nutrient. Plants get their elements from the salt of these elements present in the soil. But after repeated cultivation of plants soil become poor in these elements. The substance added to the soil to make
