NAME: Soil and sediment erosion BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Erosion, the detachment of particles of soil and surficial sediments and rocks, occurs by hydrological (fluvial) processes of sheet erosion, rilling and gully erosion, and through mass wasting and the action of wind [see sediment geochemistry and stratigraphy stream sediment storage and load wind erosion ]. Erosion, both fluvial and eolian (wind) is generally greatest in arid and semi-arid regions, where soil is poorly developed and vegetation provides relatively little protection. Where land use causes soil disturbance, erosion may increase greatly above natural rates. In uplands, the rate of soil and sediment erosion approaches that of denudation (the lowering of the Earth's surface by erosional processes). In many areas, however, the storage of eroded sediment on hillslopes of lower inclination, in bottomlands, and in lakes and reservoirs, leads to rates of stream sediment transport much lower than the rate of denudation. When runoff occurs, less water enters the ground, thus reducing crop productivity. Soil erosion also reduces the levels of the basic plant nutrients needed for crops, trees and other plants, and decreases the diversity and abundance of soil organisms. Stream sediment degrades water supplies for municipal and industrial use, and provides an important transporting medium for a wide range of chemical pollutants that are readily sorbed on sediment surfaces. Increased turbidity of coastal waters due to sediment load may adversely affect organisms such as benthic algae, corals and fish.

Welcome to www.apsru.gov.au Home Research Unit Research Projects ... Personnel APSRU is a joint research unit of Queensland Departments of Primary Industries (DPI) and Natural Resources and Mines (DNRM) CSIRO 's , and the University of Queensland (UQ) . APSRU was originally established in 1990. APSRU's core expertise and research technology is in crop and soil management and in the computer simulation of farming systems. The needs of producers for timely information to plan and make decisions provides an important opportunity for APSRU. The unit has engaged producers in relevant research and development via direct action with producers and indirect action via advisers and consultants Following two successful five year phases, we have now commenced our third phase. F ive key result areas have been nominated for APSRU in its third phase , with stated outcomes in the following areas: 1. improved economic and environmental sustainability of agricultural systems via research in rural business systems

128. Soil Fertility Answers questions related to the enhancement and maintenance of soil fertility. http://www.seafriends.org.nz/enviro/soil/fertile.htm

Seafriends - Soil fertility Farmers have known for a very long time that certain substances, when added to the soil, improve production. These are now called fertilisers. For reasons of cost and ease of use, chemical fertilisers have replaced natural ones. Although plants can't distinguish the difference, artificial fertilisers can easily be over-used, resulting in damage to the soil, rivers and ocean. Learn to know how to produce more, while damaging the soil less. plant needs What do plants need? Liebig's law states that the need in shortest supply will be the main factor limiting growth. Often overlooked needs are light and warmth. watering A plant's most important need is water. In most places on Earth, water is a problem. There is either too much of it or too little. Water is needed by soil organisms too, so a farmer's most urgent task is to manage the supply of water. nutrients Nutrients are found in the rocks. Once weathered into soil, these become available to plants. This supply is not enough, the reason why all terrestrial ecosystems recycle their nutrients with minimal losses. Agricultural soil should recycle its nutrients too, but there are insurmountable problems. fertilising Is fertilising necessary and how is it done? How can the fertility of the soil be enhanced and maintained?

138. Dr. James Cook Reports On Early Ethylene Research Brief summary of work done by Dr James Cook, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, over the last 20 years. http://www.pmac.net/ethcook.htm

Soil Quality Early Research on Ethylene Biosynthesis by Soil Microorganisms Observations by Dr. James Cook ARS and Washington State University March 6, 1997 Dr. James Cook, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and leading expert in root health and soil microbial biocontrol, has provided a fascinating summary of work he and colleagues did on ethylene starting over 20 years ago. We will post excerpts from the articles cited by Dr. Cook in the near future. We would welcome other thoughts, suggestions and references, since there is going to be an effort to design some field experiments this summer, as part of the WWF-WPVGA potato IPM project in Wisconsin and no doubt in some other locations as well in light of these recent findings. Dr. Cook can be contacted at USDA-ARS Department of Plant Pathology, 367 Johnson Hall, Pullman, Washington 99164. Phone:509-335-3772. My work with ethylene was done from about 1974 to 1980, so it goes back some years. It was also quite controversial. Jim Lynch, working in the UK, had reported that ethylene production from soil came from fungi, especially Mucor species, using methionine as a substrate. Alan Smith in Sydney Australia and I showed and reported in a paper to Nature that ethylene production in soil could not be from fungi on the basis that 1) fungi are aerobic organisms yet ethylene production from soil is prevented by oxygen and enhanced by replacing soil oxygen with any of the gases nitrogen, helium, argon, or hydrogen, and 2) could be prevented by purging the soil with live steam (100 C) but was not phased by treating the soil with aerated steam at temperatures up to 80 C.
