Early carbonatite magmatism at Oldoinyo Lengai volcano (Tanzania): carbonatite–silicate melt immiscibility in Lengai I melt inclusions

Carbonatites are unusual C-rich alkaline magmas that have been reported throughout the geological record. Nevertheless, there is only one currently active carbonatite system on Earth: Oldoinyo Lengai stratovolcano in northern Tanzania (God’...

High P‐T Sound Velocities of Amphiboles: Implications for Low‐Velocity Anomalies in Metasomatized Upper Mantle

Abstract Metasomatized mantle xenoliths containing hydrous minerals, such as amphiboles, serpentine, and phlogopite, likely represent the potential mineralogical compositions of the metasomatized upper mantle, where low seismic velocities a...

A Review on Modeling Environmental Loading Effects and Their Contributions to Nonlinear Variations of Global Navigation Satellite System Coordinate Time Series

Nonlinear variations in the coordinate time series of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) reference stations are strongly correlated with surface displacements caused by environmental loading effects, including atmospheric, hydrologic...

Handbook of Agricultural Geophysics

Precision farming, site infrastructure assessment, hydrologic monitoring, and environmental investigations- these are just a few current and potential uses of near-surface geophysical methods in agriculture. Responding to the growing demand...

Handbook of Geophysics and Space Environments

Abstract : This handbook is a comprehensive collection of data, formulas, definitions, and theories concerning the natural environment. It was written by scientists of the Air Force Cambridge Reserach Laboratories (AFCRL) which, in 1976, be...

Environmental and Engineering Geophysics

Geophysical imaging methods provide solutions to a wide range of environmental and engineering problems: protection of soil and groundwater from contamination; disposal of chemical and nuclear waste; geotechnical site testing; landslide and...

An Introduction to Applied and Environmental Geophysics

Like many of us, John Reynolds, the author of this comprehensive introductory geophysical textbook, has struggled with the challenge of teaching geophysics to students possessing only very basic mathematical skills and a limited background ...

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using terrestrial fern (Gleichenia Pectinata (Willd.) C. Presl.): characterization and antimicrobial studies

Novel silver nanoparticles from Gleichenia Pectinata (Willd.) C. Presl. was synthesized. A combination of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques were utilized to characterize the newly synthesized Gleichenia Pectinata Silver Nanoparticles...

Weed Management by In Situ Cover Crops and Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation in Plasticulture

Weeds negatively affect organic vegetable crop growth and profitability. Weed management is the greatest challenge for vegetable organic growers since control options are limited for organic vegetable production. Anaerobic soil disinfestati...

Dehydrins in the adaptation of common pine and Siberian spruce to growing conditions during vegetation period

The role of stress proteins in the formation of plant adaptability to environmental conditions has not yet been fully revealed. To identify the role of dehydrins (DH) in the strategy of biochemical adaptation in species occupying different ...

The Composition and Phosphorus Cycling Potential of Bacterial Communities Associated With Hyphae of Penicillium in Soil Are Strongly Affected by Soil Origin

Intimate fungal-bacterial interactions are widespread in nature. However the main drivers for the selection of hyphae-associated bacterial communities and their functional traits in soil systems remain elusive. In the present study, baiting...

Roots to roofs: Farmers' perceived socio-ecological impacts of converting mango orchards to urban areas in Multan, Pakistan

The process of urban growth often results in the conversion of agricultural spaces, including orchards. In Pakistan, Multan - widely known as the city of Mangoes - has seen exponential urban growth in the past couple of decades, resulting i...

Metabolic Analysis of Carotenoids and Phenolic Compounds Found in Green and Purple Kenaf

The chemical composition of the different plant parts of green ( Hibiscus cannabinus L. cv. Jangdae) and purple ( H. cannabinus L. cv. Jeokbong) kenaf cultivars were investigated using high-performance liquid chromatography. Ten carotenoid ...

Siderophore-Mediated Interactions Determine the Disease Suppressiveness of Microbial Consortia

ABSTRACT Interactions between plant pathogens and root-associated microbes play an important role in determining disease outcomes. While several studies have suggested that steering these interactions may improve plant health, such approach...

Estimating climate-induced ‘Nowhere to go’ range shifts of the Himalayan Incarvillea Juss. using multi-model median ensemble species distribution models

Global climate change threatens the range and resilience of species in the major biodiversity, particularly those in mountain regions. As the climatic conditions at high altitudes becomes suitable for colonization, many alpine plants experi...

Evaluation of root traits and water use efficiency of different cotton genotypes in the presence or absence of a soil-hardpan

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an important fiber and oil crop grown worldwide. Water and nutrient stresses are major issues affecting cotton production globally. Root traits are critical in improving water and nutrient uptake and maintaining p...

<i>Escherichia coli</i> Optoelectronic Sensors for In Situ Monitoring of Selected Materials Across Water Supply Systems

Chemical monitoring of pollutants and hazardous materials in water supply systems traditionally depends on centralized laboratories, advanced instrumentation, and trained personnel, limiting accessibility and preventing real-time, on-site a...

Assessment of the Nutritional and Medicinal Potential of Tubers from Hairy Stork’s-Bill (<i>Erodium crassifolium</i> L ’Hér), a Wild Plant Species Inhabiting Arid Southeast Mediterranean Regions
