Soil heterogeneity makes the vertical distribution of metal(loid)s in site soil vary considerably and poses a challenge for identifying the key factors of metal(loid)s migration in site soil profiles. In this study, a machine learning (ML) model was developed to study a typical abandoned Pb/Zn...

Delineation of groundwater potential zone (GWPZ) is the fundamental need to achieve sustainable development/management of groundwater resources. The hybrid approach of geospatial data analysis using fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) is a very potent application which can effectively...

Soil microorganisms and their activities are considered as important factors in the monitoring and evaluation of soil pollution. In this study, the changes in the microbial properties of the soil such as microbial biomass carbon (Cmic), soil respiration (TS), urease (UA) and β-glycosidase (β-GA)...

The objective of this work is to study the seasonal evolution of soil salinity (Solonchak) in the region of Bas-Chéliff at the scale of three soil profiles. It is therefore a question of characterizing the soil solution, defining the distribution profiles of salts in the soil, determining the speed ...

Soil erosion and sedimentation are major factors in landscape evolution and river morphology. The erosion resistance of sediments plays an important role in landscape evolution processes because it determines the threshold of an acting force at the initiative sediment motion, and the amount of...

The bulk density values indicative of compaction in clayey soils correspond to a wide range of values (1.30-1.47 Mg m-3), due to the diverse types of soil management. Our hypothesis is that if we consider bulk density values within similar management groups (those that fall to the ground and those...

We have studied soils and the plant cover of tombolos, which are isthmuses between the mainland and small islands on the coasts of the White and Baltic seas. Tombolos are characterized by complicated dynamics of sedimentation, which results in a strong heterogeneity of soils and associated plant...

The main aims of this study are assessing some factors which affect the soil erosion process and evaluating the results of an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method using the Taguchi method. Firstly, the weights for those factors and levels affecting soil erosion were determined by the AHP...

Soil total nitrogen is an important indicator for research in soil science, plant nutriology, ecology, and environmental science, and its simple and rapid determination is important for understanding soil nitrogen supply capacity and fertility. In this study, we selected 64 soil samples under 3...

Farmlands receive large amounts of nitrogen (N) from anthropogenic activities, which increase N₂O emissions and promote crop productivity. Inhibitor or biochar applications have proven effective in reducing N₂O emissions and promoting crop yields worldwide. However, a direct comparison of the...
