Salinity dynamics of wetland ditches receiving drainage from irrigated agricultural land in arid and semi-arid regions
Jia, Z.; Luo, W.; Xie, J.; Pan, Y.; Chen, Y.; Tang, S.; … - In: Agricultural Water Management 100 (2011) 1, pp. 9-17
Agricultural drainage ditches are considered as wetland ecosystems when they possess the characteristic hydrology, soil and vegetation of wetlands. In arid and semi-arid regions, wetlands receiving agricultural drainage have to cope with the conservative nature of salts leached from soils....

Predicting the mobile water content of vineyard soils in New South Wales, Australia
Holland, Jonathan E.; Biswas, Asim - In: Agricultural Water Management 148 (2015) C, pp. 34-42
Better understanding of the relationship between soil properties and soil function is required to minimise nutrient losses from agriculture and protect the environment. There is a need to predict the solute movement through horticultural soils because of the intensive management practices. Thus,...

Evaluation of the single-pass flow-through test to support a low-activity waste specification
McGrail, B.P.; Peeler, D.K. - 2009
A series of single-pass flow-through (SPFT) tests was performed on five reference low-activity waste glasses and a reference glass from the National Institute of Standards and Technology to support a product specification for low-activity waste (LAW) forms. The results showed that the SPFT test...

Mitigation and Heterogeneity in Management Practices on New Zealand Dairy Farms
Anastasiadis, Simon; Kerr, Suzi - New Zealand Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2012
We consider two approaches to quantify New Zealand farmers’ ability to mitigate their farm’s environmental impact: The construction of marginal abatement cost curves and improvements in farm management practices. Marginal abatement cost curves can be constructed by combining information on...
