        Background and Aim:  Wind erosion has occurred in a large part of Iran, which has caused land degradation and reduced fertility along with environmental effects. Identifying erosion-sensitive areas can help natural resource and environmental managers in soil conservation planning.Methods:This study is a step to estimate the erodible component of soil against the wind (EF) from soil accessibility characteristics in Allahabad plain located in the east of Qazvin province. For this purpose, the soil erodibility component, which is closely related to soil erosion versus wind, using multivariate regression (MLR), artificial neural network (ANN), and artificial neural network with genetic algorithm for weight optimization (GA-ANN) were estimated using accessible characteristics. Regarding soil map, soil differences, and environmental characteristics of Allahabad plain, 103 soil samples were collected according to a stratified random pattern of 10 cm of soil surface. In soil samples, some soil properties were measured as inputs of models for estimating erodible soil components against the wind. The inputs of each model included pH, ECe, CCE, SAR, bulk density, sand particles, silt and clay, coarse soil particles with a diameter of more than 2 mm, and organic matter. Accuracy and reliability of the results of the created models were compared with each other according to the criteria of coefficient of determination, square of error, Morgan-Granger-Newbold and Akaike information criterion.Results: Based on data, the highest correlation between soil erodible fraction to wind erosion (EF) was observed with soil clay content (r = -0.789). Also, soil erodible components showed a correlation with other soil properties including pH, electrical conductivity, SAR, organic matter, and the should be omitted density. This correlation was significant with three properties of SAR, organic matter, and clay at a should be added 1% level. The models created by the three methods were much more capable of predicting EF in the test data series than the training series data. The results also showed that the neural network model had a should be omitted more accuracy and less estimation error compared to hybrid and regression models. The results of sensitivity analysis of the models also showed that the highest sensitivity of the model to input variables in the ANN model, related to organic matter and SAR, respectively, and in the model GA-ANN was related to soil clay content variable.Conclusion: According to the results, R2 in the regression model of training data was more than 50% in estimating EF, but this value (R2 = 0.56) is not reliable. According to the test data, all three models, including regression, artificial neural network, and its combination with genetic algorithm had not been efficient enough in estimating EF, so that can be omitted the highest R2 in the neural network model in the test data (R2 = 0.43) had an accuracy of less than 50% in estimating the EF, which cannot be an appropriate accuracy in predicting EF.

        The use of agricultural and industrial wastes as a organic materials are increased. In order to evaluate of the effect of sawdust and nitrogen on soil quality indices under bean cultivation, an experiment was conducted on split plot with RCBD design with three replications. Sawdust in 4 levels 0, 5, 10 and 15 ton/ha as a main factor and nitrogen fertilizer in 3 levels 75, 150 and 225 kg/ha. and then mixed with soil. In the use of nitrogen,the maximum grain yield was 1302.8 kg/ha were obtained of 225 kg/ha of urea application. In traits of soil properties, sawdust in all traits and nitrogen fertilizer on some traits had meaningful effects. With increasing of sawdust, all of trait increased, but the increasing of traits with increasing of nitrogen showed some of traits. The investigating of rates of sawdust on MWDwet showed the difference between 5 and 10 ton/ha of sawdust was not significant, but by applying of 15 ton/ha difference and was significant. The maximum effect of MWDwet was 0.84 mm were obtained of 15 ton/ha of sawdust, in compared with 10 ton/ ha and control increasing was 100 and 265% respectively. This research indicates that sawdust as an organic conditioner and nitrogen fertilizer improved the quality of soil and the use of this treatments increased porosity, water holding capacity in FC and PWP points and organic carbon. Thus, sawdust can be used as a suitable organic fertilizer to improve the organic matter of soil and unsuitable condition of soil. Manuscript profile

        Particle size distribution (PSD) and aggregate stability are two physical properties are important for soil conservation. This study investigates the effect of using different organic matters on the PSD in the wet and dry conditions. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete design with two plant residue treatments namely (straw stubble and pistachio residue) and three moisture levels namely 0, 1 and 5% water by weight in three replications. In addition, soil PSD was measured in two manners; dry (DPSD) and wet (WPSD). The results showed that the above treatments had different influences on the PSD, depending on the type and amounts of added plant residue and large aggregates used. For the DPSD, median sizes of aggregates in control, straw stubble (1 %w), pistachio residue (1 %w), straw stubble (5 %w) and pistachio residue (5 %w) were 0.228, 0.250, 0.227, 0.394 and 0.294 mm, respectively. In comparison to the results of DPSD relative to wet most frequent practices shifted from 0.125-0.25 mm particles to smaller than 0.125 mm. This finding indicated that the DPSD and WPSD do not follow the same trend. In addition, study of the WPSD indicated that addition of organic matters, aggregation improved and as a result larger aggregates were formed. It was also determined that application of different organic residues resulted in different amount of aggregation so that this effect was more pronounced in some sizes of aggregates.

        One of the most popular types of bioreactor landfills is the landfill with leachate recirculation.In this way, an anaerobic was operated by leachate recirculation to remove organic matters. In this study two different systems were applied for leachate treatment. In system (1), the leachate generated from a fresh-waste reactor was drained to recirculation tank, and recycled every two days. In System (2), the leachate generated from a fresh waste landfill reactor was fed through a well-decomposed refuse landfill reactor, and at the same time, the leachate generated from a well-decomposed refuse landfill reactor recycled to a fresh waste landfill reactor. The results indicated that, the leachate NH4+-N and COD concentrations in system (1) accumulated to a high level, and, NH4+-N and COD removal were carried out successfully in system (2). In the well-decomposed refuse landfill reactor, the maximum organic removal rate was 1000and the maximum NH4+-N removal rate was 105. In system (2), the average removal efficiency reached to 85% and 34% for COD and NH4+-N, respectively. Manuscript profile

        Earthworms are important factors in soil formation and nutrient cycles. These organisms rummage soil and reform its particles and structure that are too important in succession. Earthworm frequency is related to the component of plant residues because they were nourishrd by organic matter, litter and plant residues. So kind, substance and chemical component of plant residues effect on their population and activities. Because organic matter in forests is abundant, earthworms can be introduced as the most important factor that influences on soil fertilities and improvement of it. So we studied reciprocal relationship and correlation of earthworms and forests to show how they enrich and improve soil fertilities. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective Soil as a heterogeneous natural resource and the largest organic carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems is composed of complicated processes and mechanisms. The necessity of accurately estimating soil properties on the national and regional scales for improving soil management, and understanding their influence on agriculture have resulted in attracting researchers’ attentions to this field. Soil Organic Matter (SOM) is considered as an indicator of soil quality in fertility and food production. It is also considered as a key variable in environmental and agricultural issues. Thus, using rapid and cost effective and more accuracy estimation of the SOM content in soil resources assessment and management can be helpful. In precision agriculture, the scale of soil data required for management of lands and products is very large. The scale of collecting filed data usually cannot fulfil those needs. Sampling, preparing and analyzing the large number of soil samples as well as producing the distribution map for large areas are very difficult. In addition, traditional laboratory methods of soil analysis are boring, time-consuming, and costly. In fact, they need specialized laboratory operators. The aim of the present study is to compare the performance of the two Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) and Boosted Regression Tree (BRT) for predicting SOM using VNIR spectrometry data. With the use of combining Wavelet transform and diagnosis of independent bands, noises existing in soil spectroscopic data has reduced. In addition, independent and effective spectra and bands in spectroscopy of SOM were selected. Consequently, in the present research, Wavelet-PCA-PLSR and Wavelet-PCA- BRT models were developed and performance were assessed.Materials and Methods 42 surface (0-30cm) soil samples in the heterogeneous areas of urban-agricultural regions in Tehran province were collected. Soil Organic Carbon (OC) measured using Walki Black method and the samples’ spectrums were measured by ASD FieldSpec-3 spectrometer. First and second derivitation of spectral reflectance and absorbance were calculated. To reduce noises and smooth the spectrum, Sym8 matrix function of wavelet transform was used, wavelet transform is conducted to show and reconstruct characteristics in the spectrum. Principal component analysis and Hotelling's T2 test with 95% confidence level were used for outlier detection. PLSR and BRT was conducted onreflectance, absorbance and their first and second derivatives, at five levels of wavelet transform. Then, by comparing the results, the appropriate model was selected via validation. For doing the PLSR in nonlinear data, Kernel functions were used. When using numerical samples, regression trees are used instead of decision trees. But their processes are the same. In regression trees, the greedy algorithm was used. Therefore, by answering the binary question through which node the maximum data about respons variable is obtained, the root node and its two children are obtained. Producing the structure of trees is recursively repeated and a typical stopping criterion is considered. The stopping criterion can be as achievement to a split which cannot be divided and provides fewer data, or when data in the node contain 5% of the total data. Moreover, the tree size should be minimized. For splitting the node, the Ginny factor, entropy factor, etc. were used for minimizing those factors. In addition, the total square error is calculated in each branches and those with minimized values are selected. In addition, in the regression tree, the pruning process is employed for over-fitting. The BRT consists of the two regression tree and boosting techniques for improving the predictability of each of them. For calibration and validation of the model, 30 and 12 soil samples were randomly selected, respectively and R2 and RMSE were used for quantify the accuracy of models. Moreover, to select the best production factor of the PLSR mode, explained variance residual values and RMSE of validation were considered. Finally, soil organic matter map was produced using Landsat OLI satellite imagery and the proofed method for the study area.Results and Discussion The SOM value acceptably, the creation of continuous mappings with more accuracy based on noise reduction and retention of suitable data have always received researchers’ attentions. The present study tried to find the better method such a more accurate quantization of SOM using soil spectroscopic data. Using wavelet transform and outlier removal based on Hotelling's T2 via the PCA, the suitable data were extracted for producing the more accurate quantization. In this method, independent and effective bands or spectra remain in the model, while Lin et al. used wavelet transform and correlation techniques for selecting appropriate bands in estimating SOM. Since the soil reflectance is more complex and affected by several factors, using correlation method in these heterogeneous areas such as the area studied in the present study does not lead to acceptable results. Considering the data values, the unsupervised PCA method calculates principle components and eigenvalues and eigenvectors. It also tries to maximize the covariance matrix based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). SOM estimation models were developed using the PLSR and BRT for reflectance and absurbance spectra and their first and second derivation. Based on the results, the BRT method with RMSE and R2 values as 0.58 and 0.94, respectively leads in the better results for the data of the second derivation of reflectance. Moreover, values of RMSE and R2 in the PLSR were obtained as 1.0338 and 0.938, respectively for the data related to the second derivation of reflectance. However, comparing RMSE of the BRT and PLSR shows better results of the BRT model.Conclusion In that field measurements of chemical properties of soil such as organic matters are critically time-consuming and costly. Furthermore, measuring those properties is not possible in the large samples. So, the results of the present study indicate that in heterogeneous agricultural-urban areas, potential of the developed models such as wavelet-PCA-PLSR and wavelet-PCA-BRT can be used for estimating SOM. Meanwhile, these two algorithms do not make distributional assumptions and therefore, there are no strong assumptions about normality. Using continuous functions and satellite imagery, the map of the level of SOM in large scales can be prepared in order that it can be utilized in studies such as cultivation potential, soil fertility, and sustainable development of soil.

        Fire is one of the effective ecological factors influencing the growth, development and evolution of plant communities especially in arid and semi arid areas. Knowledge of the effects of fire on different components of an ecosystem is important for post-fire vegetation management. In this study, the effects of fire on species composition and subsequently on soil were studied in Bamoo National Park in Shiraz. The study was carried out on two sites (Chah Sorkh and Palayeshgah), each with a control area (unburned) and two burned areas 1-year and 5 years old after fire. Each of area was used the three transects. For response of some properties of soil to burning were used of one way ANOVA analysis and multivariate analysis. Results of the analysis in two sites (Chah Sorkh and Palayeshgah) showed that the properties soil, organic matter soil than other soil properties, had been solidarity with the fire area burning.

        یکی از مهمترین عوامل موثر در آلودگی هوا ، تخریب محیط زیست خاک و مشکلات بهداشتی ناشی از آنها در مزارع شالیزاری تولید حجم زیادی از پسماندهای ناشی از فعالیت های کشت برنج است. مدیریت ضعیف ضایعات (پوسته و کاه ) برنج (مانند سوزاندن) با تهدید سیستم های پایدارکشت بر پایه برنج و اقتصاد کشاورزان می تواند مشکل ساز شود. یک روش امیدوار کننده برای کاهش اثرات منفی آنها استفاده از روشهای مدیریتی جایگزین برای تضمین امنیت غذایی و کشاورزی پایدار ، پرداختن به مسائل مدیریت پسماندهای کشاورزی است. در حال حاضر ، سوزاندن ضایعات برنج و خاکورزی خارج از فصل دو موضوع مهم روز هستند که مورد توجه بسیاری از محققان کشاورزی قرار گرفته است. به عنوان بخشی از یک پروژه کلان، ما اثرات سوختن بقایای برنج را بر روی تعدادی از خصوصیات شیمیایی و فیزیکی خاک شالیزار ، عملکرد و اجزای عملکرد برنج ، آفات ، بیماری ها و جمعیت علف های هرز رایج برنج بررسی کردیم. در این راستا، آزمایش مزرعه ایی یک ساله حاضر بصورت فاکتوریل و با پنج فاکتور در قالب طرح بلوک های کامل تصادفی با سه تکرار انجام شد. تیمارها عبارتند از : روشهای خاکورزی در سه سطح (بدون شخم ، شخم پاییزی و شخم زمستانه) و مدیریت بقایای گیاهان در دو سطح (سوزاندن بقایا و حفظ بقایا). خواص شیمیایی (ارت کل ، مقدار روی و درصد کربن آلی) و فیزیکی (میزان نفوذ) خاک شالیزاری به طور معنی داری تحت تأثیر مدیریت پسماند (P≤0.05) ، به جز وزن مخصوص ظاهری ، قرار گرفت. درصد اولیه کربن آلی خاک (2.18٪) و در نتیجه میزان نفوذ اولیه (2.04) تحت تاثیر  تیمار های شخم به ترتیب در حدود 0.51٪ ، 2.69 و 2.81 افزایش یافت. علاوه بر این ، وزن هزار دانه و وزن دانه های پر با تیمارهای فوق به ترتیب حدود 8 و 9 درصد افزایش یافت. میزان بروز کرم ساقه خوار ساقه برنج از شخم زمستانه و پاییزی تأثیر منفی ای در  حدود بیش از 4 برابر پذیرفته است این در حالی است که  تفاوت معنی داری بین شخم زمستانی و پاییزی دیده نشد. تیمارهای اعمال شده هیچ تأثیر قابل توجهی روی جمعیت مورد مطالعه علف های هرز نداشتند ، به جز علف هرز 1 که مدیریت خاکورزی باعث کاهش حدود 2 برابری جمعیت آن شد. تیمارهای اعمال شده (به تنهایی و یا ترکیبی) هم باعث کاهش علفهای هرز و آفات و بیماریهای برنج شده و هم به میزان قابل توحهی سبب بهبود برخی از خصوصیات مهم فیزیکی و شیمیایی خاک شده است.

        In order to study the effects of superabsorbent polymer and vermicompost on yield and yield components of chickpea, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on completely randomized block design with three replications on 2014-2015 cropping year in Alashtar town, Lorestan, Iran. First factor was superabsorbent polymer at four levels (including control, 100, 200 and 300 kg/ha) and second factor was vermicompost at three levels (including control, 7.5 and 15 ton/ha). According to results, mean comparison showed that highest grain yield (943.6 kg/ha) was associated to third level of superabsorbent (200 kg/ha) and non-application of vermicompost indicating increase compared to control. Based on results, highest grain yield (831.4 kg/ha) was related to third level of superabsorbent representing 20.4 percent increase compared to control. Also, highest grain yield (798.4 kg/ha) observed in 15 ton/ha vermicompost representing 12.3 percent increase compared to control. Application of vermicompost and superabsorbent in wheat at dry farming conditions, caused prominent improvement in growth and growth indices. This positive impact could be attributed to stimulating activity of soil beneficial microbes through vermicompost and its ability to improving macro- and micro-nutrients uptake as well as ability to absorbing and holding water.
