Sediment yields and turbidity records from small upland subcatchments in the Warragamba Dam catchment, southern New South Wales.(Statistical Data Included)
July 1, 2002... Introduction The public expectation in Australia of an uninterrupted supply of high quality water is a continuing challenge for water supply agencies. This is particularly so for major metropolitan centres such as Sydney where rising...

Seasonal changes in hydrochemistry along a toposequence of texture-contrast soils.(Statistical Data Included)
July 1, 2002... Introduction Texture-contrast soils dominate the agricultural region of southern Australia (Northcote 1979; Chittleborough 1992) including the Mt Lofty Ranges in South Australia (Cox et al. 1996). A `typical' sequence of soils formed on...

Variability of soil water content and bulk density in a sugarcane field.(Statistical Data Included)
July 1, 2002... Introduction Soil water content and bulk density are parameters commonly used to characterise and to study the physical behaviour of soils in agronomic systems. They have a fundamental influence on important soil and plant processes such...

The stability of soils used for cropping in northern Victoria and southern New South Wales.(Statistical Data Included)
July 1, 2002... Introduction To manage cropping soils in northern Victoria and southern New South Wales it is advantageous to know whether the soil is liable to disperse. Does the soil disperse spontaneously when wetted by irrigation or rainfall, does the...

Crop yields and soil properties on eroded slopes of red ferrosols in north-west Tasmania.(Statistical Data Included)
July 1, 2002... Introduction Soil erosion is one of the major management challenges on red ferrrosols (Isbell 1996) (Humic Eutrodox, Soil Survey Staff 1998) in Australia (Cotching 1995) and its effects on soil productivity have been of interest to...

Measuring atrazine degradation and PRZM-2 testing.(Statistical Data Included)
July 1, 2002... Introduction Atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamin-s-triazine) is widely used as a selective soil-applied herbicide for weed control of broad-leaf and grassy weed in maize (Zea mays L.) (Burnside et al. 1963). It plays a vital...

Hydrofluoric acid pre-treatment for improving [sup.13]C CPMAS NMR spectral quality of forest soils in south-east Queensland, Australia.(Statistical Data Included)
July 1, 2002... Introduction In recent soil organic matter (SOM) studies utilising solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, pre-treatments to remove interfering magnetic materials, such as Fe, have been incorporated (Skjemstad et al....

Impact of grassland afforestation on soil carbon in New Zealand: a review of paired-site studies.(Statistical Data Included)
July 1, 2002... Introduction Afforestation of grassland is an important and continuing land use change in New Zealand. Approximately 440 000 ha of grassland and scrub were planted to exotic forest species (predominantly radiata pine (Pinus radiata D....

Soil clay-humus complexes. I. Alkali dissolution, TEM, and XRD studies.(Statistical Data Included)
July 1, 2002... Introduction In recent years, significant advances have been made in understanding the bonding of humus with clays such as kaolinite, illite, montmorillonite, as well as iron and aluminum oxides. The dominant bonding modes with various...

Soil clay-humus complexes. II. Bridging cations and DTA studies.(Statistical Data Included)
July 1, 2002... Introduction Earlier studies (Ahmed et al. 2002) clearly indicated that the nature of clay-humus bonding in soils varies significantly from one soil to another and such variation is most likely due to the nature of the clay minerals and...

Corrigendum.(Correction Notice)
July 1, 2002... Vol. 40, issue 2, pp. 351-365. Chromium(VI) leaching from large undisturbed soil lysimeters following application of a simulated copper-chromium-arsenic (CCA) timber preservative. P. L. Carey, V. J. Bidwell, R. G. McLaren p. 356....
