the city. On the other hand‚ deforestation brings harm to humans because it can lead to erosion of the topsoil and siltation of rivers near the deforested areas. The tree canopy of a rainforest provides shelter from rain for the soil‚ and the roots help hold the soil in place. This helps to prevent the topsoil from being washed away by the rain. However‚ when a forest is cleared‚ the tree canopy

food and energy for growth. Water is the basis of life; every living plant depends on it to thrive. In nature‚ water acts to recharge the soil with nutrients. When it rains‚ lifeless plant and animal matter decay. Microorganisms‚ insects and animals hasten this process by their consumption of plants and excretion of organic wastes. Organic wastes in the soil are biologically decomposed into the basic nutrient salts that plants feed on. In Hydroponics‚ this natural process is bypassed by providing

is said to be efficient in soil aeration‚ and as a soil medium in germination. Generally it’s PH is 7.0 and varies slightly around the world (Grant‚ A. 2016). The property of Vermiculite tested in this experiment is soil aeration. This is extremely important for plant growth because if a plant is not aerated well CO2 will accumulate and slow down the growth of the plant (Akmal and Hirasawa‚ 2004). This would mean that a plants roots would not be able to penetrate the soil and absorb the required nutrients

In addition‚ these halophytes also have the capacity to remove the accumulated salts in the water they uptake from the surface layer of the soil. Among the notable characteristics of these plants are its specialized leaf cells that excrete salt which are called salt glands while others have salt hairs located in their stem to excrete the salt. Moreover‚ this family of plants are able to adapt

There is nothing called waste in this universe.It is a misplaced resource‚taking the example from the nature itself-the trees absorb all the nutrients from the mother earth and shed their leaves back to the nature.These leaves acts as a soil cover and the nutrients are back to the mother earth after they decompose. The different kinds of waste which are produced in our campus are waste from kitchen‚hostels‚buildings and houses.These include food waste‚paper waste and plastic waste

Landslide in a Village The rainstorm was over‚ I dashed out from the house to free myself. Spending hours in the house really made me feel bored rigid (extremely bored). I needed fresh air and so I went for a ride in the neighbourhood of Bukit Katil. I enjoyed cycling along the roads that ran parallel with rows of tall trees. The atmosphere around me was refreshingly cool. In the midst of admiring view‚ I caught the sight of a house that was partly buried in the mud. I halted (stop)

modelling of both the vibro-replacement process and of in situ testing. Field measurements were made of the input motions created by the vibrator and the induced response of the ground. The measured vibrator motions were input to a numerical model of the soil mass and the results of the analysis were compared to the measured data. The results of seismic cone testing before and after treatment at 15 sites and existing chamber test data were analyzed and additional numerical modelling of seismic cone testing
