Basic soil properties and soil classification of hazelnut cultivation area in the eastern black sea region, case study; Ünye-Tekkiraz district
The objective of this research was to investigate physical, chemical and morphological properties, classification
and mapping of soils of hazelnut cultivation in Ünye-Tekkiraz district of The Eastern Black Sea Region. The
study area is located between west of the Ordu and south of the Samsun provinces, at coordinates 4542495-
4537485 N and 342549-347523 E and total area is approximately 31.5 km2. Average annual precipitation and
temperature are 1162.4 mm and 14.2 oC, respectively. Elevation varies from 200 m to 550 m above sea level.
According to soil taxonomy, the soil temperature regime and moisture regime were classified as mesic and ustic,
respectively. Most of the study areas have been commonly used for hazelnut cultivation, whereas southern part
of the study area generally cover small forest and pasture lands. In the study area, distribution of geological
pattern is palaeocene and eocene rocks consisting of sandstone, siltstone and marl including widely distributed
and altered eocene aged volcano-clastics which are composed of basalt and andesite. After examination of
topographic, land use, geologic and geomorphologic maps and land observation, 15 profile places were
excavated in the study area. The soil samples were taken from each profile based on genetic horizons and their
analyses were done in the laboratory. According to the results of laboratory analyses by taking into consideration
of soil taxonomy, 11 different soil series were classified and described. Two them were classified as Entisol due
to their young age and five are Inceptisol, three are Alfisol, and one is Vertisol. Whereas Hatipler seri has the
largest area (14.7 %), Yenicuma Dere soil seri has the smallest area in the study area (3.2 %)
Assessment of the relationship between some physico-chemical properties of soil and some erodibility parameters in micro basin scale
Dünya’nın birçok yerinde, verimli toprak katmanlarını taşıyıp, taşındığı yerde toprağın ekosistem
içerisindeki fonksiyonel özelliğinin yitirmesinin yanı sıra, eğim doğrultusunda hareket ederek biriktiği
yerde çevresel, ekonomik ve tarımsal yönden zarar oluşturan erozyon olayı önemli bir çevresel sorun
oluşturmaktadır. Toprakların aşınmaya karşı göstermiş oldukları direnç ve strüktürel açıdan
dayanıklılıkları, erozyona uğrama eğilimini göstermekte ve bu sebeple erozyonun yönü ve boyutu
belirlenebilmektedir. Toprağın aşınabilirlik karakterlerinin belirlenmesi, erozyona uğrama eğiliminin
tespit edilmesi açısından önemli bir yaklaşım olduğu söylenebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’nin
Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi’nde Rize ili sınırları içerisinde yer alan mikro havzaya ait çay tarımı yapılan
toprakların bazı fiziko-kimyasal özellikler ile erozyona duyarlılık parametreleri olan dispersiyon oranı
(DO) ve agregat stabilitesi (AS) arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesidir. Bu amaçla, mikro havza
içerisinde çay tarımı yapılan arazilerden 28 farklı noktadan toprak örneği alınmıştır. Laboratuvar
analizlerinden sonra elde edilen veriler istatistiksel olarak test edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre,
mikro havza içerisinde çay tarımı yapılan tarım arazilerinden alınan toprakların erozyona karşı
hassasiyetleri değişkenlik göstermektedir. Toprakların DO değerleri %3.85 ile %18.14 arasında
değişirken, AS değerleri %55.52 ile %92.02 arasında değişim göstermiştir. AS, DO ve diğer toprak
özellikleri ilişkisinde en yüksek pozitif korelasyon organik madde ile azot (0.89**) görülürken, en
yüksek negatif korelasyon kum ile silt (-0.83**) arasında belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca yapılan korelasyon
testinde DO ve AS arasında önemli düzeyde negatif ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur.In many parts of the world, soil erosion causes losing of soil functional features in ecosystem by
carrying surface depth which is fertile layer and gives environmental, economic, and agricultural
damages by means of transporting along with the slope due to accumulating process is one of the
most environmental problems. Resistance of soils against to erosion in terms of their structural
stability shows a tendency for vulnerability of erosion, thus, it is possible to determine the direction
and size of the erosion. In addition, it can be said that determination of soil erodibility characteristics
is an important approach to detect tendency of soil erosion. The aim of this study was to evaluate
relationships between some erodibility factors (dispersion ratio (DR) and aggregate stability (AS)) and
some physico-chemical properties of soils used for tea cultivation in micro basin located at Rize
province at Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. For this purpose, 28 soil samples were taken from
different location points of tea cultivated land in micro basin. After laboratory studies, the data
obtained were tested statistically. According to the analysis, results show variability against erosion
of the soils. It was found that DR values of soils changed between 3.85% and 18.14% while, AS values
were determined between 55.52% and 92.02%. Moreover, it was determined the highest positive
correlation relationship between AS, DR and organic matter and nitrogen (0.89**), whereas the
highest negative correlation relationship was found between sand and silt (-0.83**). Also, there was
detected significantly negative relationship between DO and AS in the correlation test
Effect of Septorhinoplasty on Olfactory Function: Assessment Using the Brief Smell Identification Test
Objective:Septorhinoplasty (SRP), one of the most commonly performed rhinologic surgery procedures, can affect olfactory function; however, the findings of studies investigating smell following SRP are controversial. We used a culturally adapted modified Brief Smell Identification Test (B-SIT) to investigate the long- and short-term effects of SRP on olfactory function.Methods:We enrolled 59 patients admitted to the Ear- Nose-Throat Clinic, who were complaining of external nasal deformity and nasal obstruction. Functional SRP was performed on all cases. The B-SIT was administered prior to surgery and at 4 and 12 weeks post-surgery. The smell identification score (SIS) reflected the number of correct answers. In addition, we investigated the effects of gender and smoking on olfactory function and whether the SRP procedure changed these associations.Results:The mean preoperative, 4-week, and 12-week postoperative SISs were 10.15±1.30, 10.21±1.52, and 10.92±0.95, respectively. The difference between the preoperative and 4-week postoperative SISs was not statistically significant; however, the 12-week postoperative score was significantly different from the preoperative and 4-week postoperative scores. Furthermore, the repeated measures analysis according to gender and smoking habit revealed a significant difference between the 4- and 12-week postoperative SISs. One patient developed postoperative anosmia; however, the patient recovered in the 12-week postoperative period.Conclusion:SRP surgery is a safe procedure in terms of olfactory function. In addition, olfactory function may increase following surgery as a result of improved nasal airflow
