Loam Restaurant Menu 2017

Loam is a Michelin-starred restaurant and wine bar located just off Eyre Square in Galway city. It first opened its doors in November 2014 and is owned and run by Head Chef Enda McEvoy – voted ‘Best Chef in Ireland‘ at the 2016 Irish Restaurant Awards. At Loam – meaning ‘rich, fertile soil’ – we focus on modern ambitious cooking rooted in tradition. Seasonally driven, we work very closely with local farmers and producers, many of whom are close friends, to get the products we need to reflect and capture the feeling and magic of the west of Ireland. Here’s a little look behind the scenes (video).https://arrow.tudublin.ie/menus21c/1194/thumbnail.jp

Loam Restaurant Menus 2020

There\u27s no place like Loam. Enda McEvoy is an ingredient nerd who makes it his business to get to know the people who grow, catch and farm his food. He treats every part of the food thoughtfully and is alway exploring ways to turn waste into taste, but not in a preachy way. Most diners won\u27t even notice the quiet revolution he\u27s staging behind the pass in a restaurant named after the rich crumbly soil that grows the best food.https://arrow.tudublin.ie/menus21c/1515/thumbnail.jp

Spatiotemporal analyses of soil moisture from point to footprint scale in two different hydroclimatic regions

This paper presents time stability analyses of soil moisture at different spatial measurement support scales (point scale and airborne remote sensing (RS) footprint scale 800 m × 800 m) in two different hydroclimatic regions. The data used in the analyses consist of in situ and passive microwave remotely sensed soil moisture data from the Southern Great Plains Hydrology Experiments 1997 and 1999 (SGP97 and SGP99) conducted in the Little Washita (LW) watershed, Oklahoma, and the Soil Moisture Experiments 2002 and 2005 (SMEX02 and SMEX05) in the Walnut Creek (WC) watershed, Iowa. Results show that in both the regions soil properties (i.e., percent silt, percent sand, and soil texture) and topography (elevation and slope) are significant physical controls jointly affecting the spatiotemporal evolution and time stability of soil moisture at both point and footprint scales. In Iowa, using point‐scale soil moisture measurements, the WC11 field was found to be more time stable (TS) than the WC12 field. The common TS points using data across the 3 year period (2002–2005) were mostly located at moderate to high elevations in both the fields. Furthermore, the soil texture at these locations consists of either loam or clay loam soil. Drainage features and cropping practices also affected the field‐scale soil moisture variability in the WC fields. In Oklahoma, the field having a flat topography (LW21) showed the worst TS features compared to the fields having gently rolling topography (LW03 and LW13). The LW13 field (silt loam) exhibited better time stability than the LW03 field (sandy loam) and the LW21 field (silt loam). At the RS footprint scale, in Iowa, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests show that the percent clay and percent sand are better able to discern the TS features of the footprints compared to the soil texture. The best soil indicator of soil moisture time stability is the loam soil texture. Furthermore, the hilltops (slope ∼0%–0.45%) exhibited the best TS characteristics in Iowa. On the other hand, in Oklahoma, ANOVA results show that the footprints with sandy loam and loam soil texture are better indicators of the time stability phenomena. In terms of the hillslope position, footprints with mild slope (0.93%–1.85%) are the best indicators of TS footprints. Also, at both point and footprint scales in both the regions, land use–land cover type does not influence soil moisture time stability

Pukekohe silt loam, Pukekohe Hill

Pukekohe Hill is an excellent starting point for the tour in various ways: it provides a commanding view of important market gardens developed within Ultisols, and associated landuse issues, and the Massey Memorial on the hilltop commemorates Irish-born, South Auckland identity William (‘Big Bill’) Fergusson Massey (1865-1925), Prime Minister of New Zealand 1912-1925, after whom Massey University is named. Pukekohe town has a population of about 23,000

Fine root dynamics and trace gas fluxes in two lowland tropical forest soils

Fine root dynamics have the potential to contribute significantly to ecosystem-scale biogeochemical cycling, including the production and emission of greenhouse gases. This is particularly true in tropical forests which are often characterized as having large fine root biomass and rapid rates of root production and decomposition. We examined patterns in fine root dynamics on two soil types in a lowland moist Amazonian forest, and determined the effect of root decay on rates of C and N trace gas fluxes. Root production averaged 229 ( 35) and 153 ( 27) gm 2 yr 1 for years 1 and 2 of the study, respectively, and did not vary significantly with soil texture. Root decay was sensitive to soil texture with faster rates in the clay soil (k5 0.96 year 1) than in the sandy loam soil (k5 0.61 year 1),leading to greater standing stocks of dead roots in the sandy loam. Rates of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions were significantly greater in the clay soil (13 1ngNcm 2 h 1) than in the sandy loam (1.4 0.2 ngNcm 2 h 1). Root mortality and decay following trenching doubled rates of N2O emissions in the clay and tripled them in sandy loam over a 1-year period. Trenching also increased nitric oxide fluxes, which were greater in the sandy loam than in the clay. We used trenching (clay only) and a mass balance approach to estimate the root contribution to soil respiration. In clay soil root respiration was 264–380 gCm 2 yr 1, accounting for 24% to 35% of the total soil CO2 efflux. Estimates were similar using both approaches. In sandy loam, root respiration rates were slightly higher and more variable (521 206 gCm2 yr 1) and contributed 35% of the total soil respiration. Our results show that soil heterotrophs strongly dominate soil respiration in this forest, regardless of soil texture. Our results also suggest that fine root mortality and decomposition associated with disturbance and land-use change can contribute significantly to increased rates of nitrogen trace gas emissions

Effects of Potassium, Sulfur, Nitrogen Rate, And Nitrogen Source on Bromegrass Forage Yield and Composition

Production of adequate , high-quality forage is essential for Alaska's livestock industry. Smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis) is the dominant and most dependable perennial forage crop in the Matanuska Valley and other areas of Alaska. Four areas of Knik silt loam on the University of Alaska's Matanuska Research Farm near Palmer were seeded to bromegrass and were used over a period of 18 years to determine the need of high-yielding bromegrass for applications of potassium (K) and sulfur (S). A bromegrass field on the Woods estate two miles south of Palmer was selected in 1976 for a study comparing three rates of two nitrogen (N) sources with and without S. The soil type was Bodenburg silt loam

Soil-plant relationships of magnesium in selected Taranaki yellow-brown loams : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Soil Science at Massey University

Best copy available.The exchangeable Mg contents of soils in the Inglewood - New Plymouth area of Taranaki are primarily determined by Mg contents of parent materials. Inglewood coarse sandy loams, formed from Inglewood Tephra contained the lowest, and New Plymouth black loams formed from Oakura Tephra the highest, exchangeable Mg contents. Exchangeable Mg contents of soils formed from Inglewood an Oakura Tephras declined with increasing altitude. The exchangeable Mg contents of Taranaki yellow- brown loams formed from pumiceous parent materials under high rainfall conditions are more similar to those of yellow-brown pumice soils than of Central yellow-brown loams. In a pot experiment, the Mg concentrations of ryegrass plants grown on Burrell gravelly sandy loam (0.24 m.e% exchangeable Mg) or Inglewood coarse sandy loam (0.22 m.e.% exchangeable Mg) were lower than those of plants grown on Egmont black loam (1.22 m.e.% exchangeable Mg) or New Plymouth black loam (1.44 m,e.% exchangeable Mg), Only on the two soils of lower exchangeable Mg content did Mg additions of from 9 to 36 kg Mg ha−¹ result in increased dry matter yields of ryegrass plants. Increases in ryegrass Mg concentrations and total Mg uptakes in response to Mg additions were also more marked on the trails of low exchangeable Mg content than on the soils of high exchangeable Mg content. Ryegrass dry matter yields increased with increasing temperature on all soils, as did plant Mg concentration and uptake, although the latter increases were greater on the soils of low Mg content and did not occur until after an apparent critical minimum temperature of ca. 14 C had been reached. Mg additions had no major effect on plant Ca or K concentrations. The results of the field survey and the pot experiment are discussed in relation to the possible occurrence of Mg deficiency in plants and animals in Taranaki and the possibility of correcting these deficiencies using Mg-containing fertilizers

Field experiments with fertilizers on some Iowa soils

Many of the experiments carried out in the field in cooperation with Iowa farmers on some of the more extensive soil types in the state have been under way for 10 or more years. The average results secured on the Carrington loam, the Clarion loam, the Carrington silt loam, the Grundy silt loam, the Grundy silty clay loam, the Tama silt loam, the Muscatine silt loam, the Clinton silt loam, the Marshall silt loam and the Waukesha silt loam are presented and discussed in this bulletin. The results secured show that crop yields may be increased on many Iowa farms by adopting better methods of management and treatment of the land. The Iowa system of soil management, which has been developed from extensive experimental work and has been tested on many farms, points the way toward securing greater crop yields per acre and keeping the land permanently productive. The fertilizing value of farm manure and green manures is well known, but the results given, in this bulletin and in other publications emphasize the importance of keeping up the supply of organic matter in soils
