Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleField and Laboratory Suction- Soil Moisture Relationship of Unsaturated Residual SoilsBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal H. Ali, A. AbdullahSoils located above the groundwater table such as residual soils are generally unsaturated and possess negative pore-water pressures. A soil-water (moisture) characteristic curve (SWCC) that relates the water content of a soil to matric suction is an important relationship for the unsaturated soil mechanics. The SWCC essentially shows the ability of an unsaturated soil to retain water under various matric … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Properties of Rice Residues as Affected by Variety and Climatic and Cultivation Onditions in Three ContinentsA. E. Ghaly, Bingxi Li, Yaning ZhangRice husk and straw are by-products of rice cultivation and processing industry and can be used as an energy source. Proper understanding of the physical properties of rice residues is necessary for utilizing them in thermochemical conversion processes such as gasification and combustion. The physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) of rice husks and straws obtained … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 29 Aug 2012 · 11,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Properties of Wheat Straw Varieties Cultivated Under Different Climatic and Soil Conditions in Three ContinentsYaning Zhang, A. E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiOver 500 million tonnes of wheat straw are produced annually worldwide, the majority of which are burnt in the field causing significant environmental and health problems as well as serious traffic accidents in addition to loss of a valuable resource. Wheat straw is abundantly available and renewable and can be used as an energy source in gasification and combustion systems. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 26 Jun 2012 · 21,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Soil Moisture Sensors under Intelligent Irrigation Systems for Economical Crops in Arid RegionsMohamed Said Abdall El Marazky, Fawzi Said Mohammad, Hussein Mohamed Al-GhobariProblem Statement: In irrigation water management, irrigation water use represents a substantial opportunity for agriculture water savings. Automation of irrigation systems, based on Soil Moisture Sensors Systems (SMSS) has the potential to provide maximum water use efficiency by maintaining soil moisture at optimum levels. Approach: The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of soil moisture sensors under … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Soil Characteristics in Low Flows RegionalizationPaolo Vezza, Claudio Comoglio, Alberto Viglione, Maurizio RossoProblem statement: For the purpose of low flows regionalization, relevant issue for water resources management like environmental flows requirements definition, this study focused on the controls on the seasonal and spatial variability of q95 (i.e., the specific discharge that was exceeded on 95% of all the time) with particular reference to the role of soil characteristics, that, like soil infiltration … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCOMPARING GIBBS ENERGY RELATIONSHIPS FOR AMMONIA VOLATILIZATIONS FROM AGRICULTURAL SOILS FOR POTATO PRODUCTIONGuodong Liu, Yuncong Li, Ashok AlvaSoil drought, that can be enhanced by global warming increases ammonia (NH3) volatilization. This laboratory study was conducted with two soils: Krome Gravelly Loam (KGL) from Florida and Warden Silt Loam (WSL) from Washington State and two fertilizers: Ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4] or ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). Two water regimes including 20 and 80% Field Capacity (FC) were used at 20°C which … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2014 · 7,487 accessesView PDFCite
