Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStability Analysis and Stability Chart for Unsaturated Residual Soil SlopeBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj. Ali, R. S.K. RajooIn tropical residual soils most hill slope failures are caused by rainfall. It is therefore important to consider dynamic hydrological conditions when attempting to analyze the stability of residual soil slopes. This paper describes a coupled hydrology/stability model that has been developed to overcome the limitations of the standard method of analysis used to investigate stability of tropical soil slopes. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,329 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCurrent State of Haplic Chernozems in Specially Protected Natural Areas of the Steppe ZoneSaglara S. Mandzhieva, Lyudmila Yu. Goncharova, Abdulmalik A. Batukaev et al.The current ecological state of Haplic Chernozems has been studied in three Specially Protected Natural Areas (SPNAs) of the Steppe zone in South of Russia. It has been found that the content of organic matter, texture and elements content of soils depend on the period and conditions of reservation in the SPNA. In accordance with the content and reserve of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2017 · 7,357 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimisation of Plant Mineral Nutrition, Growth Stimulation and Yield Enhancement Through the Use of a Bio Formulation Based on Phosphate Solubilising BacteriaZhanar Zhumadilova, Laura Tokhetova, Gulsim Baimbetova et al.The aim of this study was to evaluate the agronomic and fodder efficiency of various fertilisation treatments in relation to their effects on plant growth, chemical composition, and soil properties. The study evaluated the effectiveness of a bio-formulation based on Phosphate-Solubilising Bacteria (PSB) in combination with mineral fertiliser (N60P90 + N30) in enhancing the productivity of forage crops and improving … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2026 · 392 accessesView PDF Cite

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 · 1,344 accessesView PDF Cite

The aim of this study was to assess the agronomic, soil, and economic effects of BioEcoGum application on corn (Zea mays L.) cultivated on light chestnut soils in southeastern Kazakhstan. A randomized block design was used, incorporating … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 9 Jan 2026 · 2,521 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImportance of Soil and Mineral Characteristics in Supporting Sustainable AgricultureIda Suryani, Marliana Sjuaib Palad, Nur Fitriani et al.Soil consists of four main components: Minerals, organic matter, air, and water, which are arranged in the space to form the soil body. Inorganic minerals in the soil come from rock fragments and other primary minerals. Sustainable soil fertility is supported by the nutrient content contained in the minerals. The research objectives were: 1) to observe the physical and chemical … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2025 · 5,945 accessesView PDF Cite
