Characterization of soft soil using multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW) and electrical resistivity method (ERM) [PDF]
This thesis demonstrates the research on the soft soil characteristics using geophysical methods. The need on non-intrusive, time efficient, economic and larger volume of investigation had increased the demand of using geophysical methods for ...

Effect of conservation tillage and peat application on weed infestation on a clay soil [PDF]
Amendment of soil with peat is an attempt to avoid crop yield variation in the transition to conservation tillage, as it improves seedbed conditions and crop growth in drought-sensitive clay soils. Weed infestations were compared in 1999-2000 between the

“Megaceros Hibernicus” in Peat [PDF]
MY friend, Dr. Leith Adams, has given it as his opinion that the Irish elk is only found in the clay or marl under the peat, while I contended that some of them occur in the peat, this opinion being formed from reports of finds in the counties of Limerick, Carlow, and Wexford, also from the colour and appearance of the bones; still I could not be ...

From carbon sink to carbon source: extensive peat oxidation in insular Southeast Asia since 1990
Tropical peatlands of the western part of insular Southeast Asia have experienced extensive land cover changes since 1990. Typically involving drainage, these land cover changes have resulted in increased peat oxidation in the upper peat profile. In this

Background Reduction of carbon emissions from peatlands is recognized as an important factor in global climate change mitigation. Within the SE Asia region, areas of deeper peat present the greatest carbon stocks, and therefore the greatest potential for

ABSTRACT Background Healthcare accounts for up to 5% of worldwide carbon emissions and costs global economies an estimated $9 trillion annually. Primary care accounts for up to one‐fifth of all NHS carbon emissions, with musculoskeletal (MSK) pain accounting for 14%–30% of all primary care consultations.

Spatial variations in heterotrophic respiration from oil palm plantations on tropical peat soils
Oil palm plantations growing on peat soil are associated with high soil CO2 emissions. Oil palm plantations are set up with regular spatial patterns consisting of different surface management microforms: bare soil harvest paths, frond piles, cover plants

Misinterpreting carbon accumulation rates in records from near-surface peat
Peatlands are globally important stores of carbon (C) that contain a record of how their rates of C accumulation have changed over time. Recently, near-surface peat has been used to assess the effect of current land use practices on C accumulation rates ...
