✦ Synopsis

Radon activity concentration in the ground was measured using Kodak LR-l 15 cellulose nitrate detectors for approx. 3 yr as part of a survey of exposure to radiation from radon and its decay products. The results show seasonal periodicity with a maximum (summer) to minimum (winter) ratio of the order of 10. The amount of water stored in the soil was deduced from meteorological data on the basis of the water balance of the region. The minima in water content were correlated to maxima in radon concentration resulting in a correlation coefficient of 0.76.

## Abstract The spatial variability of soil water content can be measured with the ground wave velocity of ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) using short antenna offsets, but picking the correct ground wave arrival time is rather difficult. In applying the GPR ground wave method to soil water content e

Ground temperature measurements are largely used in agronomy, hydrology, or climatology. As temperature variations in the subsurface depends on its thermal diffusivity which itself is a function of water content, temperature measurements are also relevant in hydrogeophysics. In this paper, we model

Membrane potentials were recorded from two species of Heliozoa, Echinosphaerium akamae and E. nucleofilum. The resting potential ranged from -20 to -50 mV with a n average value of -33.7 f 12.9 mV ( SD, n = 10) and -31.6 & 9.5 mV (k SD, n = 10) in E. akamae and E. nucleofilum, respectively. Action p

## Abstract The organic phosphorus content of 33 calcareous soils (0.1‐52.4% CaCO^3^,) was determined by the ignition method and by hydrogen peroxide oxidation. Mean values for organic phosphorus expressed as a percentage of the total phosphorus were 14.5% and 15.6% for the two methods respectively
