Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Biochar and Their Bioavailabilty

Richard, Sarah (2017-12-08)

Biochar may be utilized as a soil-amendment to sequester carbon and enhance soil fertility through improved nutrient retention, increased plant-available water, and improved drainage for excess water. Before biochar can ...

Quantifying Within-field Variability in Soil Moisture and Nutrients and Scheduling Site-Specific Irrigation Using Numerical Modeling

Kumar, Hemendra (2022-06-06)

The increasing global population is expected to increase pressure on water and food demands, which means intensification and improvements in irrigated agriculture are required to satisfy future needs. More than 70% of ...

Role of Climate, Land Use/Cover and Water Quality on West Nile Virus Incidence: A Modeling Approach

Noori, Navideh (2015-07-02)

West Nile virus (WNV), a vector-borne infectious disease, has been a major public health concern in North America since 1999. This virus is transmitted to susceptible mosquitoes when they feed on infected birds. Infected ...

Runoff Generation in Pastures of the Appalachian Plateau Region of North Alabama

Sen, Sumit (2009-05-04)

A detailed hillslope-scale hydrologic study was conducted in a pasture at the Sand Mountain region of north Alabama, USA. A 0.12 ha hillslope was intensively instrumented using 31 distributed surface and subsurface runoff ...

Surface and Subsurface Transport of Phosphorus from Surface and Subsurface-applied Poultry Litter

Lamba, Jasmeet (2009-11-30)

A plot scale experiment was conducted in a pasture at the Sand Mountain region of north Alabama, USA. Nine plots of 1.52 m by 3.05 m were constructed with sheet metal borders to isolate runoff. The soil was a Hartsells ...

Towards improving agricultural and environmental sustainability in the lower Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin by understanding the agricultural and climate change impacts on the surface- and groundwater resources

Karki, Ritesh (2020-09-23)

Surface- and groundwater resources in the lower Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River Basin play an important role in the economic and ecological vitality of the region. Agriculture, which contributes more than $2 ...

Updating Soil Hydraulic Properties under Changing Land Use/Cover for Improved Hydrologic Predictions

Sufraci, Guleser (2015-12-04)

Land use/cover (LULC) change, especially forest to urban transition, can alter the soil hydraulic properties, including soil hydraulic conductivity, even though the soil texture and series may remain the same. Soil hydraulic ...

What do climate projections say about future droughts in Alabama and the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin?

Mishra, Nischal (2015-08-21)

Droughts, often considered the costliest natural disaster, are triggered by severe shortage of water, mainly in the form of precipitation. The Southeast US has been affected by frequent severe droughts in recent years and ...
