Soil science

Ebook "Fundamentals of soil science (8th edition)" revision of a bestselling text shows that soil is three-dimensional and dynamic. This concept is developed in the first two chapters and is built on throughout the book. Chapters 3 through 7 explore soil physical properties and water, with expanded coverage of tillage and traffic and an increased emphasis on water and wind erosion processes. Chapters 8 through 11 discuss the biological aspects of soils as well as their mineralogical and chemical properties.

The study aimed to isolate oil-degrading bacterial strains from the contaminated soil of Cam Ranh, Khanh Hoa, and develop a robust indigenous bacterial consortium for bioremediation of crude oil pollution. From a total of seven oil-polluted soil samples collected in Cam Ranh, after 3-fold enrichment in liquid mineral salt medium containing 5% crude oil mixed in diesel DO (w/v), 7 bacterial isolates were achieved.

In this study the earthworm Eisenia andrei and sunflower dwarf sensation (Helianthus annuus) were used as tools to accumulate Pb and stable Cs. The aim of this study was to evaluate bioremediating Cs and Pb in contaminated soils using the selected biota. The efficacy of this bioremediation was evaluated using integrated soil microcosms (ISM)–a multispecies mini ecosystem with soil contaminated with Cs alone at 25 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg; Pb alone (1500 mg/kg) and Pb (1500 mg/kg) together with Cs (250 mg/kg) in the laboratory.
