Genetically Engineered Crops - A Threat to Soil Fertility?
Timms-Wilson et al (1999) call the rhizosphere an ‘environmental hotspot’ for gene transfer. The requirement for transformation, the presence of naked DNA in the soil (bound on surface active particles ... when added to soil, but become rapidly bound to soil particles and are not broken down by soil microbes. They warn that engineered BT toxins could build up in the soil. See Koskella ...

Slurry wall construction, jet grouting, soil mixing, diaphragm wall, groundwater n environmental remediation services by Geotechnical Company
Jet grouting breaks up the soil structure completely and mixes the soil particles in-situ with a binder to create a homogeneous mass, which in time solidifies. Modern soil mixing techniques, such as jet ...

Separation of Contaminants by the Flow of Ground Water through Soil
Benzene is more stable sorbed to the soil particles than is the MTBE. When clean ground water or the soil solution flows through dissolved product contaminated soil (the solusols) MTBE tends to go ... sorbed to the soil particle. Additional flushes with clean ground water or the soil solution are required to remove any remaining benzene from the surfaces of the soil particles. NEXT PAGE PREVIOUS ...

Soil Properties
Soil erosion in the upper part of this subwatershed with steep slope was higher than in the lower area where soil particles and nutrients were accumulated. Top soil in this part was therefore thicker and more ferfile than in the upper area. Soil under dry evergreen forest also showed the same characteristics. However soil ...

2.2.1 Data Requirements for Soil, Sediment, and Sludge
Particle density is also important in soil washing and in determining the settling velocity of suspended soil particles in flocculation and sedimentation processes. Soil permeability is one of the controlling ... attenuation. Oil and grease, when present in a soil, will coat the soil particles. The coating tends to weaken the bond between soil and cement in cement-based solidification. Similarly, ...

What on Earth is Soil? | Kid's Stuff | Educator and Student Resources | Gulf of Mexico Program | US EPA
An average soil sample is 45 percent minerals, 25 percent water, 25 percent air, and five percent organic matter. Different-sized mineral particles, such as sand, silt, and clay, give soil its texture. Fungi and bacteria help break down organic matter in the soil. Plant roots and lichens break ...
