EC32-134 Sweet Clover Management

Sweet clover has made a phenomenal growth in popularity and acreage during recent years. In Nebraska, the production increased from 30,000 acres in 1920 to 1,126,000 acres in 1930, an expansion of over one million acres in a 10-year period. Just a few years ago, when sweet clover was classified as a weed, it was the subject of proposed state legislation to prevent its production and spread. Today sweet clover has a recognized place among standard crops and in rotation systems. The acreage of sweet clover in Nebraska is now practically equal to that of alfalfa and is more than ten times that of red clover. Some Nebraska counties grow more than 40,000 acres of sweet clover annually. This 1932 extension circular discusses the kinds of sweet clover; time and method of seeding; kinds of seed and rates of seeding; liming and inoculation; growth habits; utilization of sweet clover for pasture, soil building, hay and seed; and sweet clover in wild hay meadows.

La expansión territorial bonaerense, 1780-1880. Aportes de la historia local

El acceso a la propiedad legal de la tierra en la provincia de Buenos Aires es un tema de larga tradición en la historiografía argentina. Algunas de las primeras preguntas acerca del proceso de obtención de títulos sobre terrenos baldíos del estado durante el siglo XIX tuvieron respuestas en un marco general, explicaciones que se están profundizando y reforzando con estudios más focalizados espacialmente, de manera que la ocupación sin títulos tiene un lugar cada vez más importante en la historiografía. Sin duda estos avances deben mucho al crecimiento de los estudios locales desde mediados de la década de 1980, que ponen estas cuestiones en relación con el funcionamiento del mercado de factores y los aspectos socio-demográficos. Nos proponemos aquí realizar un estado de la cuestión acerca de este tema, dando cuenta de los avances realizados y las posibilidades que la historia local ofrece para desarrollar una nueva mirada sobre el mundo rural pampeano del siglo XIX

Vacíos urbanos en la ciudad de Zaragoza (1975-2010). Oportunidades para la estructuración y continuidad urbana

La expansión de las ciudades hacia la periferia en las últimas décadas ha generado una serie de tejidos en colisión, donde los intersticios y los espacios residuales muestran la realidad de una ciudad dispersa. A esta serie de espacios intermedios los denominaremos “vacíos urbanos” y determinaremos una serie de factores que hagan posible su identificación Los vacíos urbanos son el objeto de la Tesis. El concepto “vacío urbano” adquiere un determinado significado para la investigación y se acota formulando una serie de parámetros para su definición. Definiremos los “vacíos urbanos” como espacios que han aparecido en el extrarradio de las ciudades, fruto de una expansión sin precedentes de las áreas urbanas. Han surgido como lugares residuales condicionados por elementos naturales o por infraestructuras, ligados a una temporalidad incierta, no inmersos en la dinámicas urbanas o habiendo perdido su funcionalidad. El objetivo de esta investigación es localizar y clasificar los vacíos existentes en la ciudad partiendo de la hipótesis de que es posible establecer una metodología para su reconocimiento y comprobación de los parámetros que los definen. La investigación centra su estudio en la ciudad de Zaragoza, como un ejemplo paradigmático, confirmando que la nueva fenomenología territorial, no sólo se manifiesta en dicha ciudad y en las áreas en concreto donde se ha estudiado, sino que más bien se trata de observarla como una serie de modelos tipológicos que respondan a un proceso de análisis. La propuesta metodológica de loa tesis pasa por reconocerlos, mostrarlos y darles una visibilidad que permita su clasificación, el desarrollo de un estudio de Áreas de la ciudad donde se localizan y un análisis de cada tipología de vacío urbano. Como instrumento metodológico se ha elaborado una detallada cartografía a diferentes escalas. La realización de los planos ha sido el medio de análisis que ha permitido localizar e interpretar los vacíos, complementado con unas escogidas fotografías de estos entornos. La metodología se convierte en un modo de descubrir y analizar los vacíos, el proceso conlleva la comprobación y la clasificación en una tipología. Según se han ido analizando nuevas áreas, se confirma como un hecho repetitivo exitoso y se observa que es aplicable a otras áreas urbanas de similares características, donde se den las condiciones principales de cada tipo. En general, deberán ser espacios localizados en la periferia de núcleos urbanos donde aparezcan fenómenos ligados a una expansión discontinua. Parece probable que el futuro de la ciudad se tenga que resolver en las próximas décadas sobre su actual extensión; bajo este supuesto, es trascendente la función que los vacíos puedan desempeñar en el futuro desarrollo urbano. Toda posibilidad de intervención precisará de una necesaria reinterpretación, puestas las miras en su potencial como elementos capaces de generar una rehabilitación urbana. A su vez se hace conveniente plantear una reflexión sobre estos espacios cargados de una dimensión social y cultural, como lugares capaces de articular y dotar de identidad al medio urbano. Los vacíos deberían protagonizar un papel relevante en la estructuración urbana, abriendo posibilidades para el tramado de la ciudad desde nuevas perspectivas. Una apuesta para que estos espacios libres pasen de ser el objetivo de procesos urbanizadores tradicionales, a ser considerados como oportunos elementos vertebradores de los entornos periurbanos, colaborando en el objetivo de una ciudad contemporánea sostenible. ABSTRACT In the last decades the city periphary expansion has provoked a series of matters to collide, where interstices and waste lands show the reality of a divided city. We shall determine a number of factors allowing us to treat these “in between” spaces, also called "urban voids" as identifiable elements. We will consider them the subject of the thesis and establish them as a "concept", delimiting the meaning of the research specifically acquired, defining, and formulating a set of parameters. "Urban voids" are defined as spaces that have appeared on the outskirts of cities, the result of an unprecedented expansion of urban areas. They have emerged as waste lands, conditioned by natural elements or infrastructure, related to uncertain temporality, not immersed in the urban dynamics, or having lost their functionality. It seems likely that in the upcoming decades, the future of the city will have to resolve its current way of expanding . It is under this assumption that urban voids, as intermediate spaces, will play an important role in future urban developments. Any possible intervention will require a necessary reinterpretation, closely watching their potential as elements capable of generating an urban rehabilitation. At the same time, we wish to reflect on these spaces, in many cases loaded with a social and cultural dimension, as places able to articulate and give identity to the urban environment. Based on the hypothesis that it is possible to establish a methodology for recognition and verification, the purpose of this research is to locate and classify the existing urban voids in the city. The research focuses its study on the city of Saragossa which can be seen as a paradigmatic example. The objective is to confirm that this new territorial phenomenology, not only manifests itself in Saragossa and specific areas under study, but also, can be observed as a series of typological models that respond to a review process. The methodological proposal will recognize, demonstrate, and exhibit these urban voids, in a light that will allow us to classify them, examine the different areas where they can be found, and develop a tipology analysis of each type of urban void found. The technical tool used in this research is a detailed mapping at different scales. A realization of plans, as a mean of analysis, supplemented with a few selected pictures of these environments, will facilitate the location and interpretation of these voids. This scholarly approach to discover and analyze urban voids will involve checking and classifying them in a typology. It has been confirmed as a successful constant regulator while exploring new areas. It will be apply to other urban areas with similar characteristics, that is, spaces located on the periphery of urban areas where expansion is linked to the appearence of discontinuous phenomena. The urban voids play a fundamental role within the urban structure, providing the city a weaving scheme with opportunities of fresh perspectives. The challenge for these free spaces is to move from being the consequence of traditional urban development processes, to being considered opportune backbone elements of peri-urban environments, and to finally contribute to the objectives of a sustainable contemporary city.

Quantification of the inevitable: the influence of soil macrofauna on soil water movement in rehabilitated open-cut mined lands

Recolonisation of soil by macrofauna (especially ants, termites and earthworms) in rehabilitated open-cut mine sites is inevitable and, in terms of habitat restoration and function, typically of great value. In these highly disturbed landscapes, soil invertebrates play a major role in soil development (macropore configuration, nutrient cycling, bioturbation, etc.) and can influence hydrological processes such as infiltration, seepage, runoff generation and soil erosion. Understanding and quantifying these ecosystem processes is important in rehabilitation design, establishment and subsequent management to ensure progress to the desired end goal, especially in waste cover systems designed to prevent water reaching and transporting underlying hazardous waste materials. However, the soil macrofauna is typically overlooked during hydrological modelling, possibly due to uncertainties on the extent of their influence, which can lead to failure of waste cover systems or rehabilitation activities. We propose that scientific experiments under controlled conditions and field trials on post-mining lands are required to quantify (i) macrofauna–soil structure interactions, (ii) functional dynamics of macrofauna taxa,and (iii) their effects on macrofauna and soil development over time. Such knowledge would provide crucial information for soil water models, which would increase confidence in mine waste cover design recommendations and eventually lead to higher likelihood of rehabilitation success of open-cut mining land.
