Broiler litter ammonia emissions near sidewalls, feeders, and waterers.
Ammonia (NH3) volatilized from broiler litter diminishes indoor air quality, which can potentially decrease bird productivity. Emissions of NH3 exhausted from broiler houses pose environmental concerns for ecosystem biodiversity, aquatic nutrient enrichment, and particulate formation in the atmosphere. Research was conducted sampling litter (rice hull base) in 3 tunnel-ventilated commercial bro...
متن کاملThe Role of Filter Feeders in Flowing Waters
Net-spinning trichopteran larvae are used as examples of filter-feeding stream insects to show that various species feed upon a range of particle sizes. Evolution of individual species has resulted in cropping various particle sizes of drifting stream seston. Mechanisms of how this is achieved are discussed. The evolutionary diversity of filter feeders has important consequences for stream ecos...
متن کاملAssessing the Spatial Distribution of Plant Litter
Quantifying crop residue cover on the soil surface is important for improving estimates of surface energy balance, net primary productivity, nutrient cycling, and carbon sequestration. Quantifying crop residue cover is also an important factor in controlling soil erosion and evaluating the effectiveness of conservation tillage practices. By reducing the movement of eroded soil into streams and ...

The presence of plant litter on the soil surface influINTRODUCTION ences the flow of nutrients, carbon, water, and energy in Ecological Importance of Litter terrestrial ecosystems. Quantifying plant litter cover is Litter is senescent (or dead) plant material that gradually important for interpreting vegetated landscapes and for decomposes into soil. It is difficult to classify litter beevaluat...
متن کاملNearby boundaries create eddies near microscopic filter feeders.
We show through calculations, simulations and experiments that the eddies often observed near sessile filter feeders are frequently due to the presence of nearby boundaries. We model the common filter feeder Vorticella, which is approximately 50 microm across and which feeds by removing bacteria from ocean or pond water that it draws towards itself. We use both an analytical stokeslet model and...
