Soil Properties as Affected by Soil Conservation Practices and Soil Depths in Uwite Watershed, Hadero Tunto District, Southern Ethiopia by Mulugeta Hadaro, Tuma Ayele, Sharma Parshotam Datt, Rahel Teshome

“…Both practices, statistically similar to each other, indicated significant improvement in soil parameters compared to no conservation practice in higher content of clay, lower bulk density, higher total porosity, higher moisture content, higher pH, higher soil organic matter, higher percent base saturation, higher cation exchange capacity, and higher amounts of macro- (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S) and micronutrients (Fe, Zn, and Cu). The surface soil layer (0–15 cm) was significantly superior to the subsurface layer (15–30 cm) in most of these soil parameters. …”

Conceptual basis for the search and eco-diagnostics of risk zones in watersheds by M. T. Мykytsei

“…Based on a systematic analysis of publications from Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, Springer, as well as domestic sources in the areas of soil and water pollution assessment with the identification of vulnerable (sensitive) territories and hot spots, priority management areas (APMA) and critical areas (CSA), an alternative conceptual basis for an approach to integrated environmental diagnostics of soil, surface and groundwater pollution is presented, which is preceded by an automated program search for hydrologically sensitive risk zones of ecological contact interaction of soil and water, which is important for ecological management and ecosystem restoration. …”
