Soil-plant Relationships in the Tropics
As commonly defined, the tropics comprise that region of the earth lying between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, constituting 38% of the larid surface (5 x 109 ha). The tropics may also be defined as those areas with mean temperatures greater than 18'C in all mor.ths of th. year. A third definition of the tropics specifies those areas with soils in which the tempera ture at a depth of 50 ...
متن کاملSoil conditions and plant growth'
Plants can respond to soil conditions in ways that can not readily be explained in terms of the ability of the roots to take up water and nutrients. Roots may sense difficult conditions in the soil and thence send inhibitory signals to the shoots which harden the plants against the consequences of a deteriorating or restrictive environment, especially if the plants' water supply is at risk. Gen...
متن کاملPlant diversity increases soil microbial activity and soil carbon storage.
Plant diversity strongly influences ecosystem functions and services, such as soil carbon storage. However, the mechanisms underlying the positive plant diversity effects on soil carbon storage are poorly understood. We explored this relationship using long-term data from a grassland biodiversity experiment (The Jena Experiment) and radiocarbon ((14)C) modelling. Here we show that higher plant ...
متن کاملpH, SOIL ACIDITY, AND PLANT GROWTH pH, Soil Acidity, and Plant Growth
The reason for these questions lies in the fact that the pH, or degree of acidity of the soil, often is a symptom of some disorder in the chemical condition of the soil as it relates to plant nutrition. A measurement of soil acidity or alkalinity is like a doctor's measurement of a patient's temperature. It reveals that something naay be wrong but it does not tell the exact nature of the troubl...
متن کاملSome Relationships of Sterols to Plant Growth.
In spite of the universal occurrence of steroids in plants, the role of these materials remains quite unknown. That steroids possess physiological activity for the higher plant was in fact demonstrated only after the discovery of estrogenic principles in plants in 1926-1927 by LOEWE and SPOHR (22), DOHRN et al. (12), and LOEWE et al. (20, 21). The status of our knowledge of the influence of the...
