Upland mineral soils generally consist of about 50% by volume of solids, 25% of water, and 25% of air. In wet mineral soils, approximately 50% of the soil volume is solids, while the remaining 50% is occupied by water.

Mar 1, 2022 · To effectively manage uplands, the National Park Service needs to know the impacts of these uses. Uplands monitoring includes measuring soil stability, hydrologic function, biological soil crusts, and plant community characteristics.

Mar 21, 2023 · Upland vegetation ecosystems are important throughout the West. These woodland, grassland, and shrubland (including sagebrush steppe) habitats offer vital ecosystem services. They help conserve soil, sequester carbon, and cycle nutrients, energy, and water.

Jan 9, 2020 · Upland soils marginal in organic matter, low in soil quality, vulnerable to water and nutrient losses. This study was conducted to determine whether the integration of winter cover crops and soil amendments into no-till cropping systems improve upland soil quality.

Jan 1, 2014 · The upland soils have elevation of more than 100 m but less than 500 m above sea level. The topography is nearly level and undulating with slopes ranging from 8 to 18 %. The temperature regime is 22.5–25 °C.

(1) Soil bioengineering, in the context of upland slope protection and erosion reduction, combines mechanical, biological, and ecological concepts to arrest and prevent shallow slope failures and erosion.

Apr 1, 2013 · The effect of long-term changes in land-use, pollution deposition and climate change on upland soils was evaluated by resurveying a large set of sites in a mountain landscape in the UK, which were initially sampled forty years ago.

Highlighted monitoring techniques include visual indicators of erosion, watershed cover, remote sensing cover, silt fence catchments, erosion bridge, erosion plots, close-range photogrammetry, and cesium-137.

Sep 15, 2024 · In the agriculturally intensive areas of northeastern China, the change from upland to paddy soils has led to strongly changes in the nitrogen-cycling microbial communities at different soil depths, with land use change serving as a major driving force.

Jun 2, 2014 · In this paper, we offer helpful insight into the effect of rice-upland combinations on the soil chemical, physical, and biological properties, which could provide guidance for reasonable cultivation management measures and contribute to the improvement of soil quality and crop yield. 1. Introduction.
