Remember, you must send the unsubscribe message from the same account from which you originally subscribed. Also, try to avoid any extraneous text from being included in your unsub command (such as cute signatures!) since these will result in a confusing error message. If you can no longer access your original account, let me know and I will remove you manually. Thanks for you patience and think soil. > > Can I unsubscribe from here?

Professor R. J. Gilkes is my supervisor. I am looking for a Post doctoral/research or academic position in the disciplines of soil science, agriculture and applied mineralogy. My PhD research topic is "Dehydroxylation, dissolution and phosphate sorption characteristics of synthetic aluminium substituted goethite". I submitted my thesis in Oct 1995 and have been awarded a PhD on 20 March 1996. Nine papers derived from my thesis and ten in total (eight in refereed international journals and two in conference proceedings) have been published or being published during my PhD study. I would appreciate if anyone is interested in my work and contacts me to discuss our interests in detail.

Dear readers, My name is Ricardo Braga, and I am an agronomist graduate in 1986, University of Vicosa -UFV-, Brazil. I have worked in different fields of agriculture as profession, volunteer and farmer. Right now I am a MS student of the agroecology program at University Rural - UFRRJ -, Brazil. In my thesis project I will be monitoring mineral Nitrogen and the relations with levels of that mineral in the vegetables produced under organic management. I just started sampling the soil and I will be collecting samples from now to the next 7 months. I still have a lot of questions about how to do it, and I am looking for people willing to help me out and criticize the methodology I developed until now. The methotology is attached. I do not have the knowledge of geostatistics, and only few researches are working on that in Brazil, and none in my University with reasonably knowledge of it. I have two questions to check out: 1 - Is the methodology attached good enough? 2 - Does my data can be wrought with geostatistics analyses under the design I propose? I will be glad with any help and I can feed back with my results. My address is: Ricardo M. Braga CAIXA POSTAL 74591 AGENCIA SEROPEDICA - UFRRJ - ITAGUAI RIO DE JANEIRO - BRAZIL CEP : 23851-970 Email : rmbraga@ufrrj.br - if this one does not work, please try at last rmbraga@envirolink.org Thanks Ricardo ---938803198-2078917053-827329491=:6305 Content-Type: APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM; NAME=metsoil Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Content-ID: .<.Pine.A32.3.91.960320114451.6305B@mailhub.ufrrj.br.>.

Tony A project conducted at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Hyderabad, India looked root growth using root tubes and mini video cameras. It was run by the Japanese team working at ICRISAT between 1990 and 1994 on legume cereal systems. The team leader was Osmaru Ito and there was a symposium held in 1995 I think. A publication for that meeting in probably in print. Dr Ito has returned to Japan, but the Japanese are still based at Icrisat. You could try the Agronomy Group Leader at ICRISAT, Chris Johansen, or a member of the Japanese team, Dr Adu-Gyamfi .

Hi, I'm doing my graduate research in Southeast Mexico, and it involves soil organic matter and available nitrogen issues. Can anybody advise me about methods to correct SOM determination through soil on ignition (425oC for 4 hrs.) for calcareous soils? We've been obtaining values of 25-35% in soils of the Yucatan Peninsula. Are there other things to consider using this method? Thanks a lot for your comments.

I am a postdoc working with CRC for Temperate Hardwood Forestry, Tasmania, Australia. My research intersts include soil N and P nutrient and fertilizer application technique, soil amelioration by chemical and biological technique, and soil enzyme activity and biochemical reactions. My current research area, since 1994, is N availability in forest soils. The project covers N mineralization, nitrification and leaching in relation to soil type and land use history. one 'burning' question: is N LOSS through leaching important in forest soil? What should tree grower do about it? yours sincerely Wendy Wang <------------------------------>

I have done the comparison of three measures of organic matter or carbon: LOI (375 degree C for 17 hrs), Walkley & Black (Cw&b), and dry combustion using a LECO CHIN-1000 Analyzer (Ct). Ct and Cw&b were highly correlated in 119 surface and subsoil samples, and on average, CW&B provided near complete recovery of CT (97%). Although LOI may have released some structural water from the fine textured soils, strong regressions were found between LOI and both Cw&b and Ct which were specific for either basalt or non-basalt soils. The relationships of Cw&b and Ct to LOI in the basalt soils were significantly different with those in the non-basalt soils. I think you need to develop a regression between LOI and C content measured by a standard method in your soil, or you may find help from literature if similar study was done in similar soils.

Subject: Soil Organic Matter Determination To: Isabel Lopez-Form Wendy Wang From: Graeme Buchan, Reader in Environmental Physics, Soil Science Dept., Lincoln University, NZ Re: Comparison of methods to determine soil o.m. I draw your attention to the following paper, which almost exactly mirrors the work reported by Wendy Wang. (I'm surprised it was not on her reference list): `A comparison of three methods of organic carbon determination in some NZ soils', 1991, K S Grewal, G D Buchan & R R Sherlock, J.Soil Science 42:251-257. This paper compares LOI, Walkley-Black, and a dry combustion method; and reports how regression between LOI-determined organic MATTER, and d.c.-determined organic CARBON, is improved by inclusion of a clay term, reflecting removal on ignition of non-organic constituents, chiefly adsorbed water.

But, if you take those same forest soils, clear the forests, and raise crops (including trees) where the amount of N fertilizer added is greater than what the crop can use, then you have a very good situation for N leaching (provided the rainfall is greater than the evapotranspiration rate).

Calcareous soils are also found over a large area of North America, at least in the northeast. Southern Ontario is almost exclusively calcareous, having developed over limestone. In addition, I think (I would be hard pressed to find anyone that would disagree) that the state of soil science in Southern Ontario is as far advanced as anywhere in the world.

If the "demand" for N in your forests exceeds the "supply" from organic matter and atmospheric deposition, then leaching is unlikely to occur. (The demand is determined by the growth rate of the forest biomass). In slow growing forests, the demand may be less than the supply, so that leaching is possible. Simply put, The biology behind such trends in nitrogen cycling is competition for nitrogen, one of the most-commonly limiting nutrients. As nitrogen is mineralized from organic matter, it is taken up by decomposing microbes, trees, and nitrifiers, in THAT ORDER. Therefore, there must be "enough" nitrogen to satisfy consumption at one level before the next level can take place. Leaching of N occurs in nitrate- form, so when there is not enough nitrogen to satisfy the decomposing microbes, and then trees, nitrifying microbes don't have any substrate to work with. You might want to look into extensive literature on N-related issues by: Dan Binkley, and Peter Vitousek.

What should tree grower do about it? > > yours sincerely > > Wendy Wang Wendy, You raised an intersting point about nitrate-N leaching. Amount of N input, crop N demand, and mineralization and immobilization turnover of N (MIT) are not the only factors that influence nitrate leaching in an ecosystem. Leaching potential of a forest or agroecosystem depends largely on hydraulic characteristics of soils, amount and distribution of rainfall and or irrigation management as well. Even if the soil contains large amount of nitrate, without adequate water to leach that nitrate into the soil and or a freely transmitting soil (coarse and medium textured soil) no signifiacnt nitrate leaching will occur. Therefore, these factors need to be considered as well, besides nitrate levels in the soil for determining or assessing the nitrate leaching potential of any soil system. Good luck.

Amount of N input, crop N demand, and mineralization and immobilization turnover of N (MIT) are not the only factors that influence nitrate leaching in an ecosystem. Leaching potential of a forest or agroecosystem depends largely on hydraulic characteristics of soils, amount and distribution of rainfall and or irrigation management as well. Even if the soil contains large amount of nitrate, without adequate water to leach that nitrate into the soil and or a freely transmitting soil (coarse and medium textured soil) no signifiacnt nitrate leaching will occur. Therefore, these factors need to be considered as well, besides nitrate levels in the soil for determining or assessing the nitrate leaching potential of any soil system. Good luck.

Subject: N-loss from forest In response to Kate's note concerning N-loss from forest I would like to add co uple comments: N loss is a dynamic process, "the demand/supply" principle has to used with cau tion. In other words, even if the overall N demand exceeds the N supply, leach ing might still occur if at any point in the season, nitrate-N was present in t he soil. The N loss dynamics should not be looked at seperately from the rainfall/soil m oisture conditions. I am not familiar with the rainfall trends of Tasmania, Au stralia, but that should be also considered. In other words, the soil N map sh ould be superimpposed over the rainfall map to study the leaching potentials. I hope Wendy is outthere listening.

Subject: Re: N leaching -Reply greetings wendy, what do you mean by "lost"? from my perspective, the rates of ammonification and nitrification for one year may not be representative of annual rates. if this is the case, these rates may compensate for lower mineralization during subsequent years. also, without experience working with soils from "down under" it is difficult to predict whether the combination of percipitation and internal drainage of the soil is sufficient to leach nitrates to depths below the root zone. finally, as i am sure you are aware, edaphic factors can be expected to influence the rates and final products of nitrate reduction although i am sure that some does take place particularly in regions with 2000 mm of annual precip. Unfortunately, as i no longer work at the bench i cannot offer any firm data. overall, it sounds as though you have an interesting project on your hands. good hunting, Michael W.

Nitrates may be lost through leaching and denitrification, but may be also transformed to organic nitrogen in the soil organic matter or assimilated by the higher plants. The nitrogen budget cannot be limited to nitrate in March and in September. Sincerely.

Re: N leaching (Wes Jennings .<.wesj@halcyon.com.>.)

<---------------------------------------------------------------------->

Date: Sat, 20 Apr 1996 13:32:49 -0700 (PDT) From: Wes Jennings .<.wesj@halcyon.com.>. Subject: Re: N leaching Dr. Wang, Thought I would chip in and comment. I have been following this thread for awhile. I have worked as a forest soil scientist for over 20 years in Western Washington State, USA. The rainfalls you quote, and the climate are somewhat similar to Western Washington. Our forests however are primarily conifers, and not Eucalyptus. Even though I know very little about Eucalyptus tree silviculture and nutrient demands, I do know how trees in general grow, and what they need to grow. I will end this preface with the comment that I am an applied scientist, and have limited my research work mostly to simple projects relating to baseline and follow-up monitoring. In the area I work, nitrogen is generally the most limiting nutrient to plant growth, as in many other places in the world. Under extensive forest management, the leaching of nitrates is not much of a problem. However, significant leaching of nitrates can occur following fertilization treatments and during the regeneration phase following clearcut harvest, burning, and planting. The data you collect is during such a regeneration phase. I am sure you have reason to sample within the regeneration area, but bear in mind this information will apply to the limited time frame of about a decade, and possibly less. After your eucalyptus trees mature, the total nutrient demand upon the soil will be much higher due to a higher active growing biomass on the site. Also, the nitrogen mineralization rate should be somewhat lower due to the shading effect of the closed forest (lower forest floor temperatures). The net effect may be, following the regeneration phase of the forest, that nitrate leaching is relatively low, and the vegetation is in strong competition for available nitrogen. Lastly, you did not mention if your clearing land treatment included slash burning. If it did, then you could expect high levels of nitrate leaching for several years. Not all of the N is released to the atmosphere, and the minor amount that is released to the soil can be a very large input of N to the soil system. I'm not sure if this helps, hinders, or blows in the wind. Theory is the apple of the applied scientist eye. And hard data is the heart of the research scientist. Just accept my comments in the context of the general condition that may be true. You then must plug in the specifics of your project and sense if there is anything of value. Best of fortune in your research.

Date: Sun, 28 Apr 1996 11:49:09 -0400 From: Ragorn@aol.com Subject: Help w/Science Olympiad Hello, my name is Scott McCool, and I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am in ninth grade at Henderson High School in West Chester, PA. My Science Olympiad team recently placed first at the state competition, and on May 18th we will be going to Atlanta to compete in the National competition. I was wondering if anyone could send me anything on soil, specificly soil types, horizons, conditions in which these soils form, and uses for these soils. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and if anyone has any information on trees, I'd appreciate that too. I don't suppose that there's anyone out there on a science Olypiad team, hmm? Thanks a lot. Scott <------------------------------>

For information about soils try the 1957 (56?) Ag Yearbook. Look under an article by Kellog: gets into soil formation, horizons, soil genesis theory etc. Its old, I think limited to hardcopy, but a classic. For tree reference books there are a lot of things available. The USDA has published some excellent publications. I can't think of the exact title of the book I use to have, but it is something to the effect of Silviculture of North American Trees. A good reference library should have both of books. Don't have any suggestions for what is available on the inet. Good luck in your Olymiad competition.

Date: Mon, 29 Apr 1996 10:51:20 -0400 (EDT) From: HAYES@dgl.ssc.mass.edu Subject: Re: Help w/Science Olympiad Dear Scott: A nice introduction to soils and soil processes can often be found in Physical Geography texts, which might be a useful way to begin. Some texts you could try to acquire via interlibrary loan are: 1. Introduction to Physical Geography by Ralph Scott, (1996) , West Publ. Co. Scott also has one or more earlier editions, sometimes with the main title of "Physical Geography". 2. Geosystems: An Intro. to Physical Geography, by Robert Christopherson, (1994), Macmillan Publ. Co. and 3. Physical Geography: An Intro. to Earth Environments, (1993) by Michael Bradshaw and Ruth Weaver, These texts are beautifully illustrated and would give you a good introduction to the basics of soil science-including reviews of soil taxonomy. They also offer nice treatments of ecosystem essentials and biomes--including forests, which your letter also mentioned. Good luck to you! John T. Hayes Assistant Professor Department of Geography Salem State College Salem, MA 01970 P.S. I also teach a one-year course in soil science (Intro. + Advanced) which uses real soil science texts, but I believe these physical geography texts would be a good way for you to begin. Again, good luck to you. John Hayes, Ph.D. <------------------------------>

I would bet that there is such an individual nearby. Most counties have an office, and from there you could find out where a soil scientist is. Most of the local offices also have experts who could help you with tree identification. Also, if you can obtain a copy of a soil survey in PA, there is an explanation of soils, soil formation, classification and uses.
