Foraging efficiencies and species' distributions : an explanation of the Hadeda ibis (Bostrychia hagedash) in relation to soil moisture
The influence of soil moisture on the foraging time needed to meet BMR (foraging efficiency) in hadedas was explored in Cape Town, South Africa. This was done by monitoring hadedas foraging and recording the prey items eaten successfully per minute on soils of different moisture. BMR was calculated …

Agronomic assessment of grazing method of corn residues on cow performance, residue utilization, crop yield, and soil properties
… residue utilization, subsequent crop yield, and soil physical and chemical properties. Two grazing methods (strip grazing, (SG) and continuous grazing, (CG)) and a control (ungrazed, (CT)) were arranged in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications each yr for 3 yr. Within SG, …

The distribution of anaerobic bacteria along a soil drainage catena
… the anaerobic bacteria present in three soil sites located along a drainage catena near Blacksburg, Virginia. An anaerobic cooked meat plus 0.5% glucose medium cultured the largest number of anaerobes from the poorly drained soil. The population of obligate anaerobes ranged from 10⁶/ g …

Nitrate Sorption in the Soils of the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory
… how nitrate (NO3-) moves through the soil system and if it has the potential to be retarded from vertical or lateral leaching allows for a better understanding of the processes important for NO3- movement and export from forested watersheds. We examined four watersheds at Coweeta …

Biogeomorphology and soil geomorphology of small semiarid basins, northeastern Arizona : influences of topoclimate and climate variations
… by characterizing vegetation, measuring soil thicknesses and estimating erosion rates. In contrast to south-facing, more xeric slopes, north-facing, more mesic slopes have substantially thicker mantles, less exposed bedrock and the greatest tree and herbaceous cover. On the more …

Soil drying cycles in the succulent Karoo : different rooting systems and water uptake
… an important attribute. This study investigated soil drying cycles in the semiarid Succulent Karoo. It measured the rates at which soil water was depleted at two different depths in five different microhabitats, and investigated whether these are related to different rooting systems. Three …

In Situ Diagnostics for Multiple Allergens in Food
… The anchor shape had minimal effect on deep and intermediate soil failure mechanisms. For shallow failure mechanisms, increasing the spacing between the flukes resulted in an increased normalised anchor capacity. Due to the uncertainty involved in predicting the final embedment orientation of …

Plate anchors for offshore foundations in sand and clay
… The anchor shape had minimal effect on deep and intermediate soil failure mechanisms. For shallow failure mechanisms, increasing the spacing between the flukes resulted in an increased normalised anchor capacity. Due to the uncertainty involved in predicting the final embedment orientation of …
