Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Tropical Peat and Its Stabilization

open access: yesPeat, 2018
The chapter presents the physical and engineering properties of tropical peat treated with various types of stabilizers. Quick lime (QL), fly ash (FA), and ordinary Portland cement (OPC) were used as stabilizers. The amounts of QL, FA, and OPC added with

TESTING POTATO COLLECTION SAMPLES FOR THE PRESENCE OF GENES FOR RESISTANCE TO PHYTOPATHOGENS BY MEANS OF DNA MARKERS

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2018
The development of phytopathogen-resistant varieties is the most reliable and economic way to reduce potato yield losses. Breeding of such varieties is possible by using genetic sources of resistance. The use of DNA markers for identification of valuable

Dissolved organic carbon and major and trace elements in peat porewater of sporadic, discontinuous, and continuous permafrost zones of western Siberia

open access: yes, 2017
. Mobilization of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and related trace elements (TEs) from the frozen peat to surface waters in the permafrost zone is expected to enhance under ongoing permafrost thaw and active layer thickness (ALT) deepening in high ...

Relationship between soil nurient concentration and plant nutrient status

open access: yesAgricultural and Food Science, 1974
Foliar diagnosis as a method for assessing the nutrient status in a grownig medium seems to be useful. It gives the relationship between the available soil nutrient concentration and the plant nutritional status. The proportionality factor (k).

Strong degradation of palsas and peat plateaus in northern Norway during the last 60 years

open access: yes, 2016
. Palsas and peat plateaus are permafrost landforms occurring in subarctic mires which constitute sensitive ecosystems with strong significance for vegetation, wildlife, hydrology and carbon cycle. Firstly, we have systematically mapped the occurrence of

Degradation potentials of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from thawed permafrost peat

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Global warming can substantially affect the export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from peat-permafrost to aquatic systems. The direct degradability of such peat-derived DOC, however, is poorly constrained because previous permafrost thaw studies have ...
