Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChanges in the Composition and Diversity of Pasture Grass Due to the Influence of Grazing in the Steppe Zone of Northern KazakhstanAliya Baitelenova, Balzhan Akhylbekova, Meisam Zargar et al.Overgrazing poses a serious threat to the sustainability of steppe pasturelands in Northern Kazakhstan, where intensifying livestock pressure drives significant changes in vegetation composition, species diversity, and soil fertility. This study investigated the effects of grazing intensity on pasture vegetation and chestnut soil properties in the Zhaksyn district of the Akmola region. Field surveys were conducted in July-August 2024 using … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2026 · 1,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Heavy Metals on the Enzymatic Activity of Haplic Chernozem under Model Experimental ConditionsNatalia Gromakova, Saglara Mandzhieva, Tatiana Minkina et al.The biological activity of soils is an essential parameter of their ecological status. The anthropogenic Heavy Metals (HMs) disturb the normal functioning of soil biota and, hence, the entire soil system. The aim of this work was to estimate the toxicity of loosely bound HM compounds in Haplic Chernozem using parameters of cellulose-degrading and urease activities. Contamination of Haplic Chernozem … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2017 · 7,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamic Model of Calcium Carbonate System of Soil SolutionAbdulmalik A. Batukaev, Anatoliy P. Endovitsky, Andrey G. Andreev et al.Carbonate system determines the basic processes of soil formation and evolution. The aim of research was to show the importance of chemical Carbonate Calcium Equilibrium (CCE) in soil solutions. CCE causes a degree of soil solution’s saturation with CaCO3 as a factor of carbonate geochemical cycle. CCE depends on chemical composition, pH, Eh, buffering properties of liquid phase, dissolution, migration, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 18 May 2016 · 7,978 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Fertility Status of Soils at Rehabilitated Degraded Land in Universiti Putra Malaysia Planted with Pinus caribaea and Swietenia macrophyllaMohammad Nazrin Abdul Malik, Arifin Abdu, Daljit Singh Karam et al.Soil fertility (both physical and chemical) is one of the important factors limiting plant growth. So, the fertility of the soils should be determined before growing crops and after the establishment of forest rehabilitation. A study was conducted to determine the fertility status of soils at rehabilitated degraded land in Universiti Putra Malaysia. The main objective was to compare the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 10 · 5 Nov 2015 · 7,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMANGANESE SPECIATION IN SELECTED AGRICULTURAL SOILS OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIAJ. Habibah, J. Khairiah, B.S. Ismail, M.D. KadderiManganese speciation in selected agricultural soils of Peninsular Malaysia is discussed in this study. Manganese concentration in the Easily Leacheable and Ion Exchangeable (ELFE), Acid Reducible (AR), Organic Oxidizable (OO) and Resistant (RR) fractions of soils developed on weathered rocks, soils of mixed nature, alluvium and peat deposits are described. The total manganese concentration in soils developed on weathered rocks … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2014 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Soil Fertility Status of Rehabilitated Degraded Tropical RainforestAiza Shaliha Jamaluddin, Arifin Abdu, Hazandy Abdul-Hamid et al.An assessment of forest rehabilitation program in relation to soil fertility status by using soil indices could provide fundamental information on soil suitability for species preferences and improve the effective technique for future rehabilitation program in tropical rainforests. This study was conducted in order to characterize the soil properties and identifying the soil fertility status of rehabilitated and secondary forests. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 19 Jul 2013 · 8,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparing the Fertility of Soils under Khaya ivorensis Plantation and Regenerated Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem statement: It is widely accepted that conversion of natural forest to other land use types leads to deterioration of soil fertility and increased soil compaction which consequently become degraded secondary forests. Degraded secondary forest or forestland is indicated by low in soil fertility and organic matter due to imbalance input and output from original vegetation. Forest plantation through planting … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 8,509 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferences in Soil Physical and Chemical Properties of Rehabilitated and Secondary ForestsM. H. Akbar, O. H. Ahmed, A. S. Jamaluddin et al.Problem statement: The soil properties of tropical rain forest in Southeast Asia have been characterized by several researchers; however empirical data on soil characteristics under rehabilitation program are still limited or even lacking. This research is important to determine the soil physical and chemical properties of a rehabilitated degraded forest land 19 years after planting with various indigenous species in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 12,545 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecovery of Lead(II) from Aqueous Solutions by Zea mays Tassel BiosorptionCaliphs M. Zvinowanda, Jonathan O. Okonkwo, Nana M. Agyei et al.Problem statement: Major adsorbent materials used in heavy metal ion removal from polluted aqueous streams are expensive and difficult to regenerate. In this study, the possibility of using Zea mays tassel, as an alternative low cost biosorbent material to remediate heavy metal pollution was investigated. Lead (II) was used because of its wide application in industrial products and well documented … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,465 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Enhancing Urea-Humic Acid Mixture with Refined Acid Sulphate SoilMohd Taufik Mohd Yusuff, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Acid Sulphate Soil (ASS) is a problem soil partly because of its high acidity. This low pH could be exploited to reduce ammonia loss from urea by reducing soil microsite pH. The use Humic Acid (HA) to control ammonia loss from urea has been reported but the cost of this material is high. This laboratory study compared the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
