Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStatus of Soil Microbial Population, Enzymatic Activity and Biomass of Selected Natural, Secondary and Rehabilitated ForestsK. S. Daljit Singh, A. Arifin, O. Radziah et al.Substantial clearance of forests and conversion of forest into various land use types contribute to deterioration of soil fertility and associated nutrients loss. Soils from natural and rehabilitated forest in Chikus Forest Reserve and also enrichment planting forest and secondary forest of Tapah Hill Forest Reserve, Perak, Malaysia were selected in order to assess the influence of land use change … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessing Soil Biological Properties of Natural and Planted Forests in the Malaysian Tropical Lowland Dipterocarp ForestDaljit Singh Karam, Arifin Abdu, O. Radziah et al.Problem statement: A study was conducted to evaluate and compare the soil biological properties of a natural forest and an 18-year-old stand of Shorea leprosula in Chikus Forest Reserve, Perak, Malaysia. Approach: Soils were sampled at depths of 0-15 cm (topsoil) and 15-30 cm (subsoil) in six subplots (20×20 m) of natural forest (C1) and of a planted S. leprosula … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 29 Jul 2011 · 7,961 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhosphorus Availability Modulates Bradyrhizobium japonicum’s Impact on Soil Micribial Biomass and Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) Yield in Lubumbashi Tropical SoilsBen Tshibuyi Kasu-Bandi et al.Tropical soils in sub-Saharan Africa exhibit low fertility, high acidity, and limited Phosphorus (P) availability, a key nutrient for agricultural productivity and the sustainability of cropping systems. This deficiency, exacerbated by the strong fixation of P in acidic soils, not only limits plant growth but also the efficiency of the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) and Bradyrhizobium … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 13 May 2026 · 1,980 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanism of Garden Aquatic Plants in the Remediation of Heavy Metal-Contaminated SoilChen Chen, Guangwu LiuHeavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and mercury are resistant to microbial degradation in soil and persist for extended periods. They can bioaccumulate through the food chain, ultimately impacting human health. This study demonstrates that a combined restoration approach involving soil enhancement and garden aquatic plants, specifically through the application of ferrous sulfate, results in increased dry weight and plant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 20 Apr 2026 · 1,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Agritechnologies on the Biomass and Nutritional Parameters of Crops: A Study of Corn, Soybean, and Pea in Southeast KazakhstanGulvira Yessenbayeva, Aruzhan Ilyas, Serik Kenenbayev et al.The study investigates the impact of various agritechnologies on the biomass and nutritional parameters of corn, soybean, and winter pea cultivated in Southeast Kazakhstan. This research is particularly relevant given the significant challenges facing agriculture in Kazakhstan, including soil degradation, reduced arable land, and the need for sustainable farming practices. Organic and traditional farming methods were evaluated for their effectiveness … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2026 · 1,600 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLevels of Metals and Microbial Biomass in Cobalt Coleman Mine Tailings (Canada) Three Decades after Land ReclamationKabwe Nkongolo, Graeme Spiers et al.Investigations of restored metal contaminated tailings in Canada with regard to their long-term ability to sustain plant and associated microbiological populations are limited. The specific objectives of the present study were to assess (1) The current levels of total and bioavailable metals and (2) Microbial biomass in Cobalt Coleman mine tailings reclaimed in 1990. The level of microbial biomass was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2023 · 6,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Organic Carbon Pool and its Storage in Arial Beel Wetland Soils of BangladeshMd. Faruque Hossain, ASM Maksud Kamal, Monera Akhter Eva et al.The actual quantity of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) stored in wetlands can only be estimated within a broad range of uncertainty. An accurate assessment of the size and distribution of the SOC storages in wetland resources is very difficult to obtain, therefore, the proposed research objective is to measure SOC storage and its pool on wetland soils of Arial beel … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 17 Aug 2020 · 7,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on Carbon Source Screening Technology for Prevention and Control of Banana Fusarium WiltJin Li, Tingting Duan, Zhong Lin et al.With the spread of banana Fusarium wilt and the aggravation of the damage, it has become the biggest threat to the banana industry. Many studies have shown that bio-organic fertilizer plays an important role in the prevention and control of banana wilt, but most studies focused on biocontrol bacterium screening, not screening carbon sources that could prevent banana wilt, which … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2020 · 7,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFractionation of Organic Carbon in Arial Beel Wetland Soils of BangladeshMonera Akter Eva, Mahmudul Islam Piash, Md. Faruque Hossain, Zakia ParveenA study was conducted to determine the organic carbon fractions in the vertical sections of a benchmark wetland soil of Bangladesh (Arial Beel) and their dynamics that directly affect the biogeochemistry of soil, water and plant biomass ecosystem. Two distinctive soil series viz. Sara and Arial are characterized such as pH, moisture content, textural class, CEC, organic carbon (SOC), bulk … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 4 May 2018 · 9,134 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Banana, Pineapple and Watermelon Wastes-Substrate: As Consortiums to Remediating Cyanide Polluted SoilFlorence Obiageli Nduka, Samuel Chibuike Ubani, Victor Eshu Okpashi et al.The act of processing cassava for varied food products has come with unguided and wide-spread contamination of cyanide in the environment. The need for effective reduction in cost to enable remediation of cyanide-contaminated sites from cassava mill factories is the purpose of this investigation. This involves bio-stimulation of organic wastes with indigenous microorganisms to degrade cyanide. The application of organic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2018 · 9,930 accessesView PDFCite
