Ants from Northwestern China (Hymenoptera, Fomficidae) by Cedric Collingwood, Harold Heatwole

“…Loess desert and degraded steppe at mid-elevations and in the foothills are overgrazed and have only a few species that elsewhere occur in temperate mesic and/or steppic habitats. The sandy deserts and poplar woodlands of the arid Junggar Basin have a fauna characteristic of deserts and steppes. …”

Biochar reduces early-stage mineralization rates of plant residues more in coarse-textured soils than in fine-textured soils – an artificial-soil approach by T. M. Inagaki, S. Weldon, F. B. Bucka, F. B. Bucka, E. Farkas, D. P. Rasse

“…We can show that biochar application significantly reduces the early-stage carbon mineralization rates of plant residues in various soil textures (from 5 % to 41 % clay) but more significantly in sandy soils. Clay and silt particles alone also reduce C mineralization, but the magnitude of the changes is negligible compared to the impact of biochar. …”

Preliminary Evaluation of Some Engineering Geological Properties of Soils in the New Yenagoa Town, Bayelsa State, Central Niger Delta by PO Youdeowei, HO Nwankwoala

“…Specific gravity values ranged from 2.38 to 2.60 and generally low as a result of the fine grained nature of the sandy soils. Results also show a low plasticity range of 4.25 to 13.17% for the silty clay soils, with the sandy soils being non-plastic. …”

Field Symptoms of Boron Toxicity and Deficiency in Florida Peanuts by Jacque W. Breman, William D. Thomas, Henry E. Jowers, Rao S. Mylavarapu

“…Boron is an essential micronutrient needed by peanut to prevent “hollow heart” and to provide for sufficient plant growth, but it can be a challenge to manage for peanut production on sandy soils. There may be times when peanut growers, extension agents, and consultants find field symptoms when either boron toxicity or boron deficiency is the cause of peanut yield loss and low kernel quality. …”
