Landfills are classified as the second-largest human-made source of CH4 in the U.S. Additionally, landfill gas contains numerous non-methane hydrocarbons that are either volatilized directly from waste materials or produced through biochemical reactions during waste degradation. http://www.huliq.com/11/80223/landfill-cover-soil-methane-oxidation-underestimated#comments Science methane Oxidation soil Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:11:11 -0500 harminka 80223 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/79763/changing-climate-will-lead-devastating-loss-phosphorus-soil Crop growth, drinking water and recreational water sports could all be adversely affected if predicted changes in rainfall patterns over the coming years prove true, according to research published this month in Biology and Fertility of Soils. http://www.huliq.com/11/79763/changing-climate-will-lead-devastating-loss-phosphorus-soil#comments Science climate change soil Wed, 15 Apr 2009 12:13:31 -0500 harminka 79763 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/76165/common-soil-mineral-degrades-nearly-indestructible-prion In the rogues' gallery of microscopic infectious agents, the prion is the toughest hombre in town. http://www.huliq.com/11/76165/common-soil-mineral-degrades-nearly-indestructible-prion#comments Science Prion disease soil Thu, 15 Jan 2009 11:36:53 -0600 harminka 76165 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75960/soil-maps-generate-reliable-quaternary-geologic-map Geologists, archeologists, anthropologists, ecologists, engineers, and natural resource managers routinely use National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS) data across field sciences. http://www.huliq.com/11/75960/soil-maps-generate-reliable-quaternary-geologic-map#comments Science geology soil Tue, 13 Jan 2009 02:49:01 -0600 harminka 75960 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75946/organic-soils-continue-acidify-despite-reduction-acidic-deposition Recent Research published in the January–February issue of Soil Science Society of America Journal shows that soil acidification poses a continuing threat to the health of forests in the northeastern United States. http://www.huliq.com/11/75946/organic-soils-continue-acidify-despite-reduction-acidic-deposition#comments Science Acidification Organic soils soil Tue, 13 Jan 2009 02:16:17 -0600 harminka 75946 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75823/adding-high-doses-sludge-neutralize-soil-acidity-not-advisable A University of the Basque Country PhD thesis has analysed the application of waste sludge from EDAR (Estación Depuradora de Aguas Residuales - Waste Water Purification Plant) to acid soils which have limited capacity for neutralising the acidity. http://www.huliq.com/11/75823/adding-high-doses-sludge-neutralize-soil-acidity-not-advisable#comments Science amino acids soil Fri, 09 Jan 2009 10:34:56 -0600 harminka 75823 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75492/calibration-tool-teaching-soil-rupture-resistance Learn about a new calibration tool to help students and soil scientists calibrate their thumb and forefinger for the correct amount of pressure. http://www.huliq.com/11/75492/calibration-tool-teaching-soil-rupture-resistance#comments Science calibration soil Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:28:41 -0600 harminka 75492 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75351/6-north-american-sites-hold-12900-year-old-nanodiamond-rich-soil Abundant tiny particles of diamond dust exist in sediments dating to 12,900 years ago at six North American sites, adding strong evidence for Earth's impact with a rare swarm of carbon-and-water-rich comets or carbonaceous chondrites, reports a nine-member scientific team. http://www.huliq.com/11/75351/6-north-american-sites-hold-12900-year-old-nanodiamond-rich-soil#comments Science nanodiamonds soil Fri, 02 Jan 2009 01:52:03 -0600 harminka 75351 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75184/alternative-hand-transplanting-proven-effective Growers in southeastern Georgia have the perfect combination of climate and soil to produce some of the world's best onions: the famous Vidalia sweet onions.
