This paper presents the results of the quantification of water erosion rate in the rolling old-glacial area of the Narew River valley-sides using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). The soil loss estimated using USLE for 7 study sites ranged from about 1 to 5 Mg ha-1 yr-1. These differences are the result of varied slope steepness ranging from 1.8% to 7.5% and the average slope length ranging...
This study is an attempt at reconstructing the soil cover of the northern slope of the Opatów loess patch based on the morphology analysis of 23 investigated soil profiles and their chemical properties. It was stated that at present the investigated area is mainly occupied by secondary, typical brown soils, acid and leached, on slopes weakly developed, strongly eroded. The Holocene model profiles...
The results of the study of the impact of phosphogypsum on the accumulation and migration of fluorine in the southern chernozems of the North-West Black Sea coast area of Ukraine are presented herein. It has been found that the introduction of phosphogypsum as a chemical ameliorator of irrigated chernozems resulted in a fluorine increase both in the soils and in the soil (lysimetric) waters.
Celem badań było określenie zróżnicowania przestrzennego wilgotności aktualnej (Wa), pH i przewodności elektrycznej (ECa) w powierzchniowych poziomach glebowych w niecce byłego stawu młyńskiego Oleszek. Młyny wodne to jedne z pierwszych budowli hydrotechnicznych w Polsce. Pojawiły się już na przełomie XI i XII wieku, natomiast upowszechniły się w XIII wieku. Budowa i funkcjonowanie młynów wodnych...
The research was carried out in the hilly landscape in the Buskerud region, south Norway. The following soil toposequence was stated, beginning from the top of the slope: Epigleyic Pheozem (Siltic) – Cumullinovic Pheozem (Endosiltic) – Epigleyic Pheozem (Skeletic Endosiltic) – Cumullinovic Pheozem (Siltic) – Mollic Gleysol (Siltic). The soils had a silt loam and sandy loam texture with a substantial...
Due to the ease and low cost of implementation, a commonly used method of determining the humus content in soils is the loss-on-ignition (LOI) method. Several regression equations and transformation factors are reported for LOI conversion to soil organic matter (SOM) or total organic carbon (TOC) content. The vast majority of the conversion factors have been developed for surface horizons of lowland...
The aim of the studies was to evaluate the herbicidal contaminations in soil. Monitoring tests were carried out in two periods: 2002–2008 and 2010–2013, on cereal plantations located in south-western Poland. The samples of soil were collected at harvest time. The determination of 2,4-D, MCPA, diflufenican, dicamba, chlortoluron, fluroxypyr, isoproturon, clopyralid residues were conducted using the...
In presented research a method for remediation of MCPA contaminated soil based on the combination of fluidization process technique and ozone was utilized. Exposition of soil contaminated with MCPA at the concentration of 0,1 % w/w on the a mixture of air and ozone allowed for removal of over 90% of MCPA in form of MCPA 2-ethylhexanol-ester (MCPA 2-EHE) in laboratory conditions. The efficacy of the...
The studies were conducted to determine the impact of the anthropogenic factors in the form of horticultural cultivation and urban environment on soils of allotment and household gardens and the role of humus substance in binding heavy metals and the distribution of elements in a soil profile. The research covered the area of south-eastern Poland, where 3 cities were selected for sandy soils and 3...
The analysed area was used for industrial activity for over 130 years. During that time many pollutants (including heavy metals) have been emitted by industrial plants and infiltrated into the soil. This article presents the properties of the soil from industrial sites located in Zielona Góra and analysis of its physical and chemical characteristics.
