Investigating the influences of soil characteristic factors on dinoseb adsorption parameter with different statistical methods would be valuable to explicitly figure out the extent of these influences. The correlation coefficients and the direct, indirect effects of soil characteristic factors on dinoseb adsorption parameter were analyzed through bivariate correlation analysis, and path analysis. With stepwise regression analysis the factors which had little influence on the adsorption parameter were excluded. Results indicate that pH and CEC had moderate relationship and lower direct effect on dinoseb adsorption parameter due to the multicollinearity with other soil factors, and organic carbon and clay contents were found to be the most significant soil factors which affect the dinoseb adsorption process. A regression is thereby set up to explore the relationship between the dinoseb adsorption parameter and the two soil factors: the soil organic carbon and clay contents. A 92% of the variation of dinoseb sorption coefficient could be attributed to the variation of the soil organic carbon and clay contents.

<p>Soils will warm in near synchrony with the air over the whole profiles following global climate change. It is largely unknown how subsoil (below 30 cm) microbial communities will respond to this warming and how plant-derived soil organic carbon (SOC) will be affected. Predictions how climate change will affect the large subsoil carbon pool (>50 % of SOC is below 30 cm soil depth) remain uncertain.</p><p>At Blodgett forest (California, USA) a field warming experiment was set up in 2013 warming whole soil profiles to 100 cm soil depth by +4°C compared to control plots. We took samples in 2018, after 4.5 years of continuous warming and investigated how warming has affected the abundance and community structure of microoganisms (using phospholipid fatty acids, PLFAs), and plant litter (using cutin and suberin).</p><p>The warmed subsoil (below 30 cm) contained significantly less microbial biomass (28%) compared to control plots, whereas the topsoil remained unchanged. Additionally below 50 cm, the microbial community was different in warmed as compared to control plots. Actinobacteria were relatively more abundant and Gram+ bacteria adapted their cell-membrane structure to warming. The decrease in microbial abundance might be related to lower SOC concentrations in warmed compared to control subsoils. In contrast to smaller SOC concentrations and less fine root mass in the warmed plots, the concentrations of the plant polymers suberin and cutin did not change. Overall our results demonstrate that already four seasons of simulated whole-soil warming caused distinct depth-specific responses of soil biogeochemistry: warming altered the subsoil microbial community, but not concentrations of plant-derived soil organic carbon.</p>

The study was to investigate the change patterns of soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), and soil C/N (C/N) in each soil sublayer along vegetation restoration in subtropical China. We collected soil samples in four typical plant communities along a restoration chronosequence. The soil physicochemical properties, fine root, and litter biomass were measured. Our results showed the proportion of SOC stocks (Cs) and TN stocks (Ns) in 20–30 and 30–40 cm soil layers increased, whereas that in 0–10 and 10–20 cm soil layers decreased. Different but well-constrained C/N was found among four restoration stages in each soil sublayer. The effect of soil factors was greater on the deep soil than the surface soil, while the effect of vegetation factors was just the opposite. Our study indicated that vegetation restoration promoted the uniform distribution of SOC and TN on the soil profile. The C/N was relatively stable along vegetation restoration in each soil layer. The accumulation of SOC and TN in the surface soil layer was controlled more by vegetation factors, while that in the lower layer was controlled by both vegetation factors and soil factors.

Organic Matter Addition

The Relationship between Phosphate Adsorption and Soil Organic Carbon from Organic Matter Addition (FH Yusran): The application of organic matter (OM) can increase soil phosphorus (P) availability via soil mineralisation. In lateritic soils, however, soluble organic carbon (OC) from OM may also reduce phosphate adsorption capacity, a process that also releases P in soil solution. In these soils, competitive adsorption could be dominant compared to mineralisation. The main objectives of this study were to study phosphate adsorption in three lateritic soils which have been treated with different types and amounts of organic amendment, and had intrinsic OC removed by combustion. The adsorption isotherms showed that OM addition could reduce phosphate adsorption and that this reduction could last up to nine months after application. Lucerne hay was more effective than peat and wheat straw additions in reducing phosphate adsorption capacity. The bicarbonate phosphorus (BP) release through mineralisation occurred despite the increase of phosphate adsorption capacity due to the combustion of soil samples. Peat treatment was predicted to be more effective in creating organo-metal complexes with Al and Fe. Overall, mineralisation from added organic amendment was effective in minimising P adsorption in lateritic soil.

The research was conducted to determine the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in relation to the altitude in Serbia. The database included a total of 1,140 soil profiles. SOC were investigated at different the altitudes (0-200 m, 200-500 m, 500-1,000 m, 1,000 - 2.000 m) and at two soil depths (0-30 cm and 0-100 cm). Statistical correlation was done for five regions where locations were grouped according to the spatial distribution. The results showed that the highest mean values of SOC were measured on the terrain that includes mountains with the altitudes of 1,000-2,000 m and covers an area of 11.5% of the territory of Serbia. The lowest obtained result is related to the lowland areas with the largest number of locations. Greater variability in the results of SOC stocks were found at the higher altitudes and the greatest on the low mountains of 500-1,000 m altitude. There is a medium to strong statistical dependence of the altitude with the SOC stocks at two soil depths (0-30 cm and 0-100 cm). The result indicate that the relationship between SOC stocks and altitude varies between the regions. This study shows that altitude is an important factor affecting SOC stocks.

Background: Appropriate maternal feeding behaviors are well known as a health promoting behavior for toddlers because it can support their health and development. According to Pender’sHealth Promotion Model (2006), self-efficacy can influence the health promoting behaviors. Maternal self-efficacy was the judgment of mothers who have toddlers about their capability to perform appropriate maternal feeding behaviors for their toddlers.Objective:This study was aimed to examine the relationship between maternal self-efficacy and maternal feeding behaviors for toddlers in Java Island, Indonesia.Methods: A descriptive correlational research design was undertaken in January to February 2015. One hundred and ten Indonesian mothers who have toddlers and lived in Java Island were obtained through multistage random sampling. The research instruments included Maternal Feeding Behaviors Questionnaire (MFBQ), Demographic Characteristic Questionnaire, andPerceived Maternal Feeding Behaviors Self-efficacy Questionnaire (FBSeQ). The bivariate correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between maternal self-efficacy and maternal feeding behaviors.Results:It was found that there was significant positive relationship between maternal self-efficacy and maternal feeding behaviors at .01 levels. The maternal self-efficacy had moderate relationship with maternal feeding behaviors (r = .490, p ≤ .01).Conclusion:A nursing intervention to promote appropriate maternal feeding behaviors should deal with the maternal self-efficacy. Nurses should assist and motivate Indonesian mothers of toddlers for having adequateself-efficacy in order to perform better maternal feeding behaviors.Keyword: maternal feeding behaviors, maternal self-efficacy, toddler.

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the relationship and effect of community participation and conflict management on gold mining resources in Khaochetluk sub-district, Tapkhlo district, Phichit province, Thailand. There were 224 participants derived from a total population of 1,712 who had participated in this study. Researchers employed cross-sectional descriptive research design utilizing questionnaire as an instrument to collect data. This instrument has been piloted and found to be validated after checking by three experts and reliable with high value of Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The obtained data was analyzed not only using descriptive statistics such as percentage, mean score, standard deviation but also inferential statisticssuch as Pearson product moment correlation, stepwise multiple linear regression. Findings of the study indicated that both variables namely community participation as well as conflict management were at moderate level. Additionally, Pearson correlation coefficients revealed that community participation had significant, positive, and moderate relationship with conflict management (r = 0.456) at the significant level of 0.01. Consequently, result of this study revealed that there were two significant predictors toward conflict management. These two significant predictors were ‘involvement’ and‘empowerment’ components of community involvement which have successfully contributed 20.1 percent variance of conflict management at 0.01 significant level. Qualitative findings indicated that an establishment of platform to provideopportunities for community participation. An appointed committee needs for monitoring purposes. This study is able to promote the importance of community participation in conflict management. Keywords: Community participation, conflict management, gold mining resources.
