“…Also, excessive utilization of this chemical fertilizer with no organic amendments can pollute the surrounding environment due to the excessive leaching of nutrients (Lim et al 2015b). Consequently, the decrease in soil organic matter could be in cause of the infertility and unproductively of soil induced by a lower microbial activity and infiltration rate (Martin et al 2010). Therefore, organic amendments and manures have a positive effects and help in the stability of soil fertility and agricultural yields.…”

Purpose Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is one of the predominant fruit trees grown in oases ecosystems (Southern Mediterranean regions) and produces several wastes during practicing cultivation since fruit and bunch thinning is frequently applied. Yet, the valorization of date palm wastes as bioresources has received little attention. The main objective for the present research is to assess palm trees compost (P-compost) as organic fertilizer for alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Methods The experiment was carried out in an experimental field involving four replicates and three soil amendment treatments (1) control, conventional mineral fertilizer diammonium phosphate, (2) 30 t ha -1 of cow manure, and (3) 30 t ha -1 of palm tree compost (P-compost). Plots were planted on with alfalfa and the measurements of studied traits (growth, yield, seed yield and minerals uptake) were determined for two crop seasons (2010 and 2011). Results Compared with untreated soil, the palm compost application at 30 t ha -1 improved significantly both organic matter and water retention capacity of the soil and decreased the electrical conductivity (-70%).Furthermore, palm compost supply significantly increased fresh biomass production of alfalfa by 21 and 28%, respectively, during the first and second seasons. Also, it enhanced the grain yield and growth rate (stem length and leafs expansion) of this species. At the first crop season, the palm compost application had a positive impact on minerals nutrition compared to the control treatment, with improving rates of ? 32% for phosphorus, ? 25% for potassium and ? 6% for nitrogen. In addition, these contents were higher than in plants grown under cow manure amendment. However, at the second season, the palm compost improved only P and N contents. Conclusions This preliminary finding suggests that palm compost at moderate dose (30 t ha -1 ) could be highly beneficial for forage plant yield.

“…It is reported that about one fourth of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions are due to land use change, especially deforestation (Barnett et al, 2005;Ding et al, 2004;Martin et al, 2010). Long-term experimental studies have confirmed that soil organic carbon is highly sensitive to land use changes from native ecosystems, such as forest or grassland, to agriculture systems, resulting in loss of organic carbon (Jenkinson and Rayner, 1977;Martin et al, 2010;Paul et al, 1997). Approximately, a third of carbon emissions brought by land use change caused the reduction of soil organic matter content (OECD, 1996).…”

Abstract. Soil carbon sequestration plays an essential role in mitigating atmospheric CO 2 increases and the subsequently global greenhouse effect. The storages and dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) of 0-30 cm soil depth in different landscape types including beaches, reservoir and pond, reed wetland, forest wetland, bush wetland, farmland, building land, bare land (severe saline land) and salt field in the modern Yellow River Delta (YRD) were studied based on the data of the regional survey and laboratory analysis. The landscape types were classified by the interpretation of remote sensing images of 2000 and 2009, which were calibrated by field survey results. The results revealed an increase of 10.59 km 2 in the modem YRD area from 2000 to 2009. The SOC density varied ranging from 0.73 kg m −2 to 4.25 kg m −2 at depth of 0-30 cm. There were approx. 3.559 × 10 6 t and 3.545 × 10 6 t SOC stored in the YRD in 2000 and 2009, respectively. The SOC storages changed greatly in beaches, bush wetland, farm land and salt field which were affected dominantly by anthropogenic activities. The area of the YRD increased greatly within 10 years, however, the small increase of SOC storage in the region was observed due to landscape changes, indicating that the modern YRD was a potential carbon sink and anthropogenic activity was a key factor for SOC change.

“…There are many different studies about the effects of climatic changes on slide occurrence (Tamura et al, 2002;Khan et al, 2005;Martin et al, 2010). Claude et al (1999) studied the slides of south of France, indicated that there is a good interrelationship between climatic change and landslide, although the amount of this interrelationship depends on type and time of slide occurrence.…”

Landslide is one of the most challenging disasters on the earth, which is believed to cause other natural catastrophic incidents. Normally, in studying landslide we investigate different influencing factors such as gender land, atmospheric rainfall, gradients' change, earthquake, volcanic eruption, subterranean water vibration, and human causes in the form of different models. These facts are blamed as the main share in appearing this phenomenon. However, correlative and sufficient condition for genesis such a phenomenon is historical base of lands' bed, which needs specific formative process. There are several studies focused on distribution and dispersion of slides and their reasons. In this paper, we investigate the behavior of landslide and its effects on instigating instabilities. The preliminary results indicate that distribution of this phenomenon is associated with climate from a side and historical formative process on the other side. The weather condition of Iran is divided into four groups of cold, hot, humid and humid hot hole. Every region has its own special geomorphic properties and either directly or indirectly affects on landslide occurrence. In order to study this effect, we use Arc GIS 9.3 software dispersal map of Iran's main landslides and formative systems on the other side and by local analyzing these two collections are evaluated based on their vicinity relationship using localstatistical techniques. Results of this research shows that the main part of this landslide occurs in cold hole and humid hole and only about 8 percent are happens in hot holl. In addition, density of landslides are more in thermodynamic bound of cold and hot hole as well as cold and humid hole.
