Carbon Farmer Scott Macalman of Warren NSW has invented many forms of cropping for carbon. This presentation was given at the Carbon Farming Expo & Conference Orange 18-19 November, 2008. Orange is in new South Wales, Australia.
in this presentation describe about the plant tolerance of salt. there are two types of crops. highly tolerant crops or moderately tolerant crops. also describe the effect of salt in plants. and the adaptive response of plant in salt affected soil. how to improve the soil when they are effected with salts.

Environmental threats and Land Reclamation on underground mining of Gem,graph...Pabasara Gunawardane
Removal of valuable minerals from the earth by taking both people and equipment into depths from the earth’s surface is called underground mining.Unsupported openings, Supported openings and Caving methods are the three methods of underground mining. Main methods in Underground mining are drift mining, slope mining, shaft mining, borehole process and hard rock mining.Contamination of rivers, lakes and ground water, alteration of surface and ground water flow, erosion and instability, loss of soil, material contamination, improper sanitation, increased dust, loss of faunal and floral habitats, over use of timber resources and destruction of forests and savannah are the general environmental threats of mining.
Gem mining methods range from digging deep mines and adrift to shallow open mining and river bed mining. In Sri Lanka traditional gem mining is mainly found in Balangoda, Ratnapura, Opanayake, Deniyaya, Rakwana, Elahera and Matale areas. Legislation to minimise environmental damage caused by gem mining is included within the 1971 Act drawn up by the NGJA, reinforced by the Mines and Minerals Act of 1992. Damage to vegetation cover, plantations and paddy fields, damage to land and geomorphology, man-made structures, to streams and river banks, sedimentation and water pollution, damage to fauna, alteration of surface and ground water flow and adverse environmental health conditions are some threats of gem mining.
Graphite and gold mining also have a severe impact on the environment. Especially the impacts are affecting on soil and water.
Backfilling of mined sites, seeding with grasses, tree planting at backfilled sites with native species, shaping and contouring of spoil piles and replacement of top soil are some mitigatory measures to the land reclamation after the mining of gold, gem and graphite.

Biochar Summit Ormoc City, Leyte, Philippines (in November 2018)Christer Soderberg
Presentation of Biochar as a vehicle for soil enrichment and carbon sequestration organised by Mayor Richard Goma Gomez, and Congresswoman Lucy Torres-Gomez, with the invaluable help of their teams and Cristine Hontanosas, who all helped make my stay in the Philipines an unforgettable experience.
Before and after the summit, test trials were carried out with the Ithaca Institute designed "Kon-Tiki" kiln, and a local team of "Char Masters" defined to spread knowledge and experience by promoting the application of biochar to soils for increased fertility, production and quality of organic agricultural produce.

Soil fertility is the backbone of agriculture systems and plays a key role in determining food quantity and quality. The intension of soil fertility management is to improve soil buffering capacity and to reduce soil degradation. Soil health is fundamental for a healthy food production. It provides essential nutrients, water, oxygen and support to the roots, all elements that favor the growth and development of plants for food production. Now the Indian population is 1.37 billion (Census India gov.in) Land area availability is 3.287 million km2. Net cultivable area is 143 million ha. Degraded land in India around 141 million ha. Per capita land availability is 0.3 ha per farmer (Indian express Nov 6,2009). Food grain supply 234.0 million tons, food grain demand 236.2 million tones (Praduman Kumar et al.,2016). In the year 2019 Global Hunger Index(GHI), India ranks 102nd out of 117 qualifying countries. With a score of 30.3, India suffers from a level of hunger that is serious (Global Hunger Index Organization). Nearly 1 billion people around the world suffer from hunger. Soil management is important, both directly and indirectly, to crop productivity, environmental sustainability, and human health (Mittal et al., 2008). To achieve future food security, the management of soils in a sustainable manner will be the challenge, through proper nutrient management and appropriate conservation practices. Such as maintain soil organic carbon, effective utilization of natural resources, use of non-monetary input like LEISA etc., will be the better option to fulfils the ever-growing population’s food and nutritional security.

Cost effective ways to maintain soil fertility and nutrient cycling in the farmDorothy_Sanderson
The impact of conventional fruit and crop farming on the soil has been documented extensively over the years. People are now well aware that intensive agricultural activities, such as irrigation, chemical and biocide spraying and the use of heavy machinery, deplete the nutrients in the soil and prevent them from coming back.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
