Nitrogen fixation associated with Suillus tomentosus tuberculate ectomycorrhizae on Pinus contorta var. latifolia.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Tuberculate ectomycorrhizae are a unique form of ectomycorrhiza where densely packed clusters of mycorrhizal root tips are enveloped by a thick hyphal sheath to form a tubercle. The functional significance of such a unique structure has not previously been established. The purpose of the present study was to investigate and measure the potential nitrogenase activity associat...
متن کاملEvaluation of Compatibility between Beetle-Killed Lodgepole Pine (Pinus Contorta var. Latifolia) Wood with Portland Cement
The compatibility of wood from mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosa) killed lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) with Portland cement was investigated based on time-since-death as a quantitative estimator, and the presence of blue-stained sapwood, brown rot, or white rot as qualitative indicators. The exothermic behavior of cement hydration, maximum heat rate, time to reach th...
متن کاملFoliar nitrogen patterns following stand-replacing fire in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) forests of the Rocky Mountains, USA
Little previous work has been conducted on effects of natural, high-severity wildfires on nitrogen (N) dynamics. We measured aboveground plant biomass, foliar N, and net N mineralization 2 years after stand-replacing fires in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) forests in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA. We detected a five-fold difference in foliar N (% dry weight) among 14 s...
متن کاملA comparison of isozyme and quantitative genetic variation in Pinus contorta ssp. latifolia by FST.
We employed F-statistics to analyze quantitative and isozyme variation among five populations of Pinus contorta ssp. latifolia, a wind-pollinated outcrossing conifer with wide and continuous distribution in west North America. Estimates of population differentiation (FST) for six quantitative traits were compared with the overall estimate of the differentiation (F*ST) from 19 isozymes that test...
متن کاملNitrogen Fixation Associated with Sugarcane
Nitrogen fixation associated with sugarcane was monitored ushg acetylene reducti,on tests and bacteriological techniques. Soil cores and trash from cane fields showed acetylene reducing activity. This activity was usually low in association with sandy soils. Where high activity was detected in soil cores it correlat~d with the wet weight of roots in each core. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria resemblin...
