Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Organic carbon performs essential functions in soils. Soils act as sources or sinks of atmospheric organic carbon. Agricultural management influences soil organic carbon, impacting climate change. One of the crops most vulnerable to climate change is coffee. Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer, with a predominance of management under a conventional system, with sloping terrain and the absence of conservationist practices. The absence of conservationist practices results in an increase in soil loss rates due to water management and carbon emissions, as well as a reduction in coffee production. This paper aimed to estimate soil and organic carbon losses …

Effects Of Nutrient Solution Strength, Pgpb, And Mycorrhizal Inoculation On Growth,Yield, And Quality Of Strawberry, Masoud Haghshenas, Sander H. Van Delden, Mohammad Javad Nazarideljou

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) cultivation is not without difficulty since its root environment is sensitive to many biotic and abiotic stresses. In addition, production is often phosphate limited, even at relatively high phosphorus levels, as the high fruit yields greatly exceed the capacity of the phosphorus supply by the root system. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB), and combinations of both are known to mitigate stress and enhance nutrient uptake, particularly phosphorus. Therefore, we studied the effects of AMF (Glomus mosseae, and Glomus intraradices), PGPB (Azospirillum lipoferum DSM1691, and Pseudomonas fluorescens DSM 50090), and their combinations …

Stochastic 1-D Reactive Transport Simulations To Assess Silica And Carbonate Phases During The Co2 Reinjection Process In Metasediments, Selçuk Erol May 2024

Stochastic 1-D Reactive Transport Simulations To Assess Silica And Carbonate Phases During The Co2 Reinjection Process In Metasediments, Selçuk Erol

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

One proposed method to mitigate carbon emission is to mineralize the CO2 in deep geothermal reservoirs while mixing the coproduced CO2 with the effluent fluid for reinjection. The injection fluid temperature fluctuates due to the mixing process between CO2-charged water and the effluent fluid, and compressor interruptions change the thermodynamic conditions that influence the fluid-rock interaction in the reservoir. Mineral dissolution or precipitations are associated with changes in permeability and porosity that affect the flow and, eventually, the lifespan of the reservoir. A combined stochastic–reactive transport simulation approach is useful for inspection purposes. Moreover, the stochastic algorithm validates the deterministic …
