Polymer soil stabilization refers to the addition of polymers to improve the physical properties of soils, most often for geotechnical engineering, construction, or agricultural projects. [1] Even at very small concentrations within soils, various polymers have been shown to increase water retention and reduce erosion, increase soil shear ...

NRCS sends staff to countries worldwide to conferences to improve knowledge of soil conservation. [23] There is also international technical assistance programs similar to programs implemented in the United States. There are long-term technical assistance programs in effect with one or more NRCS staff residing in the country for a minimum of ...
Soil conditioners may be used to improve water retention in dry, coarse soils which are not holding water well. The addition of organic material for instance can greatly improve the water retention abilities of sandy soils and they can be added to adjust the pH of the soil to meet the needs of specific plants or to make highly acidic or ...
Soil Microbial community composition and functionality is largely driven by underlying soil health and abiotic properties. [ 69 ] [ 70 ] Many DNA sequencing and omics -based approaches, combined with greenhouse experiments, have been used to characterize microbial responses to seaweed fertilizer treatment on a wide variety of crops.
In previous years, federal and state agencies have conducted confirmation soil sampling for large California fires, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
Satellite images illustrate the scope of the damage in coastal communities along the western part of the Florida peninsula, near the Sarasota barrier island of Siesta Key where Milton made ...
Map of the United States showing what percentage of the soil in a given area is classified as an Ultisol-type soil. The great majority of the land area classified in the highest category (75%-or-greater Ultisol) lies in the South and overlays with the Piedmont Plateau, which runs as a diagonal line through the South from southeast (in Alabama) to northwest (up into parts of Maryland).
