They are variously called Terra Rossa (on hard limestone) and Red Mediterranean Soils. Not all soils in a Mediterranean environment are, however, qualified as such because normal pedogenetic development may be hampered by erosion (rejuvenation of the profile), lack of time, and lack of water or unfavorable parent material characteristics.

  • Distribution of Rare Earth Elements in Sediments of the Marine Lake Mir (Dugi Otok, Croatia)
    geosciences Article Distribution of Rare Earth Elements in Sediments of the Marine Lake Mir (Dugi Otok, Croatia) Željka Fiket * ID , Marina Mlakar and Goran Kniewald Rudjer Boškovi´cInstitute, Division for Marine and Environmental Research, Bijeniˇcka54, Zagreb 10000, Croatia; [email protected] (M.M.); [email protected] (G.K.) * Correspondence: zeljka.fi[email protected]; Tel. +385-1-456-1036; Fax.: +385-1-468-242 Received: 6 July 2018; Accepted: 7 August 2018; Published: 10 August 2018 Abstract: The Lake Mir represents a small, isolated, and shallow marine lake situated in the south-eastern part of the Dugi otok Island, in a karstic landscape of the eastern Adriatic coast. The surrounding karstic background, with occasional occurrences of red soil, characterizes the sediments in the lake as coarse grained and carbonate rich. Previous studies suggested the prevailing influence of the lake bathymetry, that is, the proportion of carbonates and grain size characteristics of the sediments, on the variability of the element composition of the lake sediments. To confirm previous assumptions and obtain a better understanding of the factors influencing sediment composition of this marine lake, the distribution of rare earth elements in sediments of the Lake Mir and the nearby Telaš´cicaBay, as well as surrounding soils, was investigated. In the lake sediments, the sum of rare earth elements, including Y (hereinafter referred as SREY), ranged from 10.6 mg kg−1 to 25.3 mg kg−1; in the Telaš´cicaBay sediments, SREY were higher compared to the lake and ranged from 56.4 mg kg−1 to 85.2 mg kg−1, while the highest SREY, from 83.3 mg kg−1 to 227 mg kg−1, were observed in soils surrounding the lake.

Comparison of their composition and properties illustrates to what extent the mineral, (especially clay mineral assemblage) and particle size distribution of those horizons and the insoluble residue of the underlying carbonate rocks can be used as indicators of the polygenetic nature of terra rossa in this region. Terra rossa B horizons have characteristic red colours, neutral to slightly acid pH, high base sat- uration with calcium as the predominant cation and high CIA (Chemical Index of Alteration). The CIA values ob- tained are generally in accordance with mineral composition and particle size distribution of the analysed B horizons. The predominant clay mineral phases in B horizons and related insoluble residues match. Kaolinite is the predomi- nant clay mineral phase in the B horizons overlying carbonate rocks containing low amounts of insoluble residue, while smectite predominates in calcarenites areas with a high insoluble residue content.

Develop and test a set of soil sustainability criteria relating to vine performance. 2. Describe soil constraints to vine performance for Australian soils. 3. Analyse appropriate soil data and evaluate against soil indicators of sustainability. 4. Group soil types with similar constraints and develop management systems for each. 5. Disseminate information via field days, seminars, technical articles and scientific papers. 6. Produce a comprehensive field manual on soil types and soil management. Soil and viticultural scientific and industry literature was reviewed to develop a comprehensive overview of the role of soil in grape production. The review focuses on how soil physical and chemical properties affect vine root growth. The mechanics of root growth are discussed in detail. Soil sustainability indexes are defined as an aid to guide to selecting, developing and managing viticultural soils. The soil properties and management factors included in these indexes are: soil profile texture forms, available water, soil aeration, internal drainage status, soil strength, soil salinity and sodicity, soil chemical status, soil nutrient status, irrigation water chemistry, gypsum indicators, lime indicators and compost quality criteria. Field trials were established in South Australia on new and established vineyards on several important soils with the aim of monitoring the adverse effects of some soil properties on vine performance.

Thus, each 100 m across, differentially adapted to drought tolerance on typical features enabling drought tolerance of plants include, but two contrasting soil types, Terra Rossa and basalt at the Tabigha are not limited to, deep and large root systems, thick and complex Evolution Slope, Israel. We resequenced the genomes of seven and cuticular waxes, efficient stomatal regulation, and regulation of six wild barley genotypes inhabiting the Terra Rossa and basalt drought-responsive genes and metabolites (5, 8, 10, 11). As a soils, respectively, and identified a total of 69,192,653 single- relatively drought-tolerant crop for dryland agriculture in many nucleotide variants (SNVs) and insertions/deletions in comparison with countries, several studies aiming to elucidate the mechanisms of a reference barley genome.
