soil process

At high deposition, nitrate is found leaching away because the soil processes and capacity of plants to take up nitrogen are exceeded.

"But the greenhouse effect will also influence soil temperatures and we are interested in to what extent this will speed up soil processes."

Septic drain fields treat septic tank effluent using aerobic soil processes.

Chemical and soil process over time often obscure and cause decomposition of cultural materials, and thus a human-occupied layer may look natural.

Due to the construction materials and nature of the building it had been greatly affected by soil processes from the time it went out of use to the present.

Complementary disciplinary approaches are necessarily utilized which involve molecular biology, genetics, ecophysiology, biogeography, ecology, soil processes, organic matter, nutrient dynamics and landscape ecology.

The alteration of sediments by weathering, plants, and other soil processes comprising underclay resulted in the formation of vast majority of fireclay that comprises underclay.

For example, the change of land-use from moorland to coniferous plantations in British uplands has affected soils and soil processes as well as the quality and quantity of water yield.

This is the preferred definition among workers dealing with the remediation of salt affected soils as well as those dealing with the vapor phase of soil processes and bioremediation.

In land treatment (also known as land spreading), the processes are similar to those in land farming, where natural soil processes are used to biodegrade the organic constituents in the waste.

Bioturbation's importance for soil processes and geomorphology was first realised by Charles Darwin, who devoted his last scientific book to the subject (The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms, 1881).

She'd been planning for some time to do her final project on aerobic soil processes in Cardassian sand clay, but the images of Bajor...She felt suddenly quite certain that her focus had to be on some aspect of Bajor.

Recent historical changes of soils are more numerous than the degree of research attention accorded by physical geographers might suggest but the effects of salinity, drainage, fertilizers, pollution and land use change all have considerable significance for soil pedons and soil processes.

A further consequence arising from studies of process has paradoxically been progress towards a more integrated approach because investigations of one specific process have often proceeded to encompass other processes in the way that soil process investigations have become involved with hillslope processes and with plant-soil moisture relationships and also with boundary layer climatology.

Projection of stand growth and ecosystem dynamics is based upon a representation of the rates of key ecological processes regulating the availability of, and competition for, light and nutrient resources (a representation of moisture effects on soil processes, plant physiology and growth, and the consequences of moisture competition is being added).

In soil science emphasis had naturally proceeded towards soil processes including soil biology and microbiology (e.g. Russell, 1957) as described in the New Naturalist Series of books and interest in soil processes and soil dynamics also led to the inception of new ideas.
