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 abstractEffects of Extractants on the Yields and Selected Chemical Characteristics of Humic Acids Isolated from Tropical Saprists PeatLee Jia Huey, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Humic acids are beneficial to soil aggregation, binding of heavy metal, plant growth and many more. However, the isolation of Humic Acids (HA) from its origin is not only time-consuming, but the isolation is also affected by factors such as temperature and the types of extractants and their concentrations. Different concentrations of extractant are said to alter the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring Growing Season Length of Deciduous Broad Leaf Forest Derived From Satellite Data in IranSasan Babaei Kafaki, Asadollah Mataji, Seyed Armin HashemiProblem statement: Leaf phenology describes the seasonal cycle of leaf functioning and is essential for understanding the interactions between the biosphere, the climate and biogeochemical cycles. This study aimed to quantify changes in plant phenology of deciduous broadleaf forests between the years 1982-1999 and investigate the relationships between the onset dates of phenology and climatic factors. Approach: We studied the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Volatile Compounds from Genus OcimumS. Raseetha Vani, S. F. Cheng, C. H. ChuahThere are distinct varieties of basil types in the genus Ocimum which makes them very special. Genus Ocimum is widespread over Asia, Africa and Central & Southern America. All basils are member of the Lamiaceae family. The colors of the leaves vary from bright green to purple-green and sometimes almost black. Fresh basil leaves have a strong and characteristic aroma, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 12,666 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical and Physical Characteristics of Cocopeat-Based Media Mixtures and Their Effects on the Growth and Development of Celosia cristataYahya Awang, Anieza Shazmi Shaharom, Rosli B. Mohamad, Ahmad SelamatProblem statement: Cocopeat is considered as a good growing media component with acceptable pH, electrical conductivity and other chemical attributes but it has been recognized to have high water holding capacity which causes poor air-water relationship, leading to low aeration within the medium, thus affecting the oxygen diffusion to the roots. Incorporation of coarser materials into cocopeat could improve the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 19,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWastewater Treatment Using Horizontal Subsurface Flow Constructed WetlandS. Sarafraz, Thamer Ahamad Mohammad, Megat J. Megat M. Noor, A. LiaghatThe last few decades witnessed sharp focus on environment pollution and its impact on life in nature. Wetlands can be used for biological treatment of wastewater. Problem statement: Scarcity of water is considered as a global problem and Iran is one the countries which is facing water shortage problem. Pollution of water bodies restrict the availability of water for various … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,788 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtein Molecular Structures, Protein SubFractions, and Protein Availability Affected by Heat Processing: A ReviewPeiqiang YuThe utilization and availability of protein depended on the types of protein and their specific susceptibility to enzymatic hydrolysis (inhibitory activities) in the gastrointestine and was highly associated with protein molecular structures. Studying internal protein structure and protein subfraction profiles leaded to an understanding of the components that make up a whole protein. An understanding of the molecular structure of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,286 accessesView PDFCite
