The contamination caused by pharmaceuticals is recognized as one of the most severe forms of environmental pollution. Many medicines and medical waste are dumped on the land, especially near hospitals, medical clinics, stores, and others, thus the aim of the study. The physical and mechanical of soil properties and tetracycline in leachate were studied. The sample extractor device (Shelby tube) was used to take undisturbed samples with a number of (6) tetracycline solutions added monthly to the soil samples, for a period of 6 months. The obtained results showed that silty clay is a type of this soil, the unconfined compression strength decreases with months to 6 months, while the effect on Atterberg’s limits (liquid and shrinkage limit) showed the soil became softer, lowering the value of the liquid limit. The tetracycline test in leachate water decreased with time, due to the soil adsorbed tetracycline. First-order is suitable for the kinetic model. Finally, the tetracycline drug effect on the physical and mechanical properties of soil was studied.

In furrow irrigation, the maximum lateral movement of water in ridges is more desirable than the vertical downward movement. This can be achieved by compacting the furrows. Thus, the study examines the impact on furrow soil compaction by tractor wheel trafficking during mechanical operations in the different soil types. In this experiment, the three-wheel tractor compaction includes: 1) control (no soil compaction), 2) compaction through 3-wheel tractor passes, and 3) compaction through 6-wheel passes under three different soil textural classes such as: clay loam, silty clay loam and silty loam soils. The impact of various treatments on clay loam, silty clay loam, and silty loam under 3- and 6-wheel passes showed increased bulk density (7–12%), field capacity (9–19%), ridge storage efficiency (35–38%), water use efficiency (16–20.5%) and decreased soil porosity (7–16%), infiltration (8–20%), and furrow storage efficiency (28–41%) over the control. This study shows comparable results of 6-passes with other studies in which more than 6-passes were used to compact the soil. This study suggested that farmers can maximise water use efficiency by compacting their furrows using 6-passes tractor trafficking.

Investigation of ranges of soil and climate characteristics appropriate for the tolerant species: Pistacia atlantica subsp. mutica according to field study was the main objective of this research. This study was carried out based on random sampling across 20×20 km wild pistachio forests of Fars province (Iran). Results showed that mountainous and hilly lands are the main land types that pistachio species have evolved on. Statistical analysis of physical and chemical soil characteristics based on principal component analysis (PCA) method showed that wide ranges in soil characteristics, even up to about 40% differentiation in some measured properties, did not restricts this subspecies natural growth. The main growth limiting factors were shallow soil depth and light soil texture that decreased storage capacity of soil moisture, necessary for wild pistachios survival during drought and long dry periods. Climatic elements were analysed through the same approach and showed that temperature, precipitation and wind with overall variability of 85.9% were the most effectual factors. Pistacia atlantica subsp. mutica is one of the species refractory to various soil conditions and adapted to weak soils for the establishment and rehabilitation of forests in semi-arid regions.

Głównym celem badań terenowych prezentowanych w niniejszej pracy było przeanalizowanie zakresu wartości charakterystyk glebowych i klimatycznych odpowiednich dla podgatunku Pistacia atlantica subsp. mutica. Próby pobierano losowo z poletka w lesie pistacjowym o wymiarach 20×20 km w prowincji Fars w Iranie. Wyniki dowodzą, że pistacja wyewoluowała na ziemiach górskich i na terenach pagórkowatych. Statystyczna analiza fizycznych i chemicznych właściwości gleb prowadzona metodą składowych głównych (PCA) wykazała, że duża zmienność badanych cech, sięgająca w niektórych przypadkach 40%, nie ograniczała naturalnego wzrostu badanego podgatunku. Głównymi czynnikami ograniczającymi były płytkie gleby o lekkiej strukturze, które zmniejszały zdolność gleb do zatrzymywania wilgoci niezbędnej dziko rosnącej pistacji do przetrwania długich okresów suszy. Czynniki klimatyczne analizowano tą samą metodą i stwierdzono, że najbardziej istotne były temperatura, opady i wiatr o ogólnej zmienności 85,9%. Pistacia atlantica subsp. mutica jest jednym z gatunków najbardziej odpornych na różne warunki glebowe, co może mieć znaczenie dla stabilizowania i rekultywacji lasów na terenach półpustynnych.

The paper presents the results of research on forest soil buffer capacity in selected protected areas. The soil buffer capacity was determined for each soil horizon using modified Arrhenius method. Buffer curves were sketched and soil buffer areas were measured with computer techniques. The date obtained were compared with some soil physical and chemical properties using statistical method. Organic (O) and humus (A) horizons of forest soils demonstrate a greater abilities of buffering alkalines than acids whereas buffer capacity of deeper-lying horizons changes as their physical and chemical properties change. Of the examined types of forest soils, the greatest buffer capacity was found for river alluvial soils. The results of the study indicate that the buffer areas are significantly correlated with pH, hydrolytic acidity, content of organic C, clay fractions, sum of exchangeable bases and cation exchangeable capacity.

W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań nad zdolnościami buforowymi gleb wybranych obszarów chronionych. Analizie poddano 7 profili gleb leśnych reprezentujących następujące podtypy gleb: mady rzeczne brunatne, mady rzeczne próchnicze, gleby płowe zaciekowe, gleby rdzawe brunatne, gleby rdzawe właściwe oraz gleby bielicowe właściwe. Wykreślono dla nich krzywe buforowe zmodyfikowaną metodą Arrheniusa i zmierzono techniką komputerową powierzchnie buforowe gleb. Uzyskane dane porównano statystycznie z niektórymi właściwościami fizyczno-chemicznymi gleb. Poziomy organiczne (O) i próchniczne (A) gleb leśnych wykazują większe zdolności buforowania zasad niż kwasów, natomiast zdolności buforowe poziomów głębiej zalegających zmieniają się wraz z ich właściwościami fizyczno-chemicznymi. Wśród badanych typów gleb leśnych największe zdolności buforowe wykazują mady rzeczne. Wyniki badań wskazują, że powierzchnie buforowe badanych gleb są istotnie skorelowane z pH, kwasowością hydrolityczną, zawartością węgla związków organicznych, frakcja iłu, sumą zasad wymiennych oraz z kationową pojemnością sorpcyjną.

Gamma-ray beam attenuation is a non-invasive technique that permits analysis of soil porosity without disturbing the region of interest of the core sample. The technique has as additional advantage to allow measurements point by point on a millimetric scale in contrast to other methodologies that are invasive and analyze the soil properties in the bulk sample volume. Soil porosity can be used as an important parameter to quantify soil structural damages, which affect soil aeration, water movement and retention. In this study, porosities of three soils different in texture were measured at various positions in order to analyze the impact of the sampling procedure on the structure of each particular soil texture. The gamma-ray attenuation system consisted of an 241Am radioactive source having an activity of 3.7 GBq, collimated with cylindrical lead collimators of 2 mm diameter. The results obtained show the presence of dense regions near the edges of samples and that different soil textures can suffer distinct deformations at sampling.
