Mineral Element Concentrations in Foliage and Bark of Woody Species on Auckland Island, New Zealand
نویسنده
چکیده
Mineral element concentrations are presented in leaf and bark material from six woody species growing at a single site on the subantarctic Auckland Islands. Foliar total mineral element concentrations range from 5.81% (Olearia lyallii) to 2.71 % (Dracophyllum longifolium), the lowest concentrations occurring in slow growing species tolerant of nutrient-poor soils. The browse preference of introduced goats is correlated with high foliar potassium levels while species that are preferentially debarked (Pseudopanax simplex and Myrsine divaricata) have the highest bark calcium concentrations.

متن کاملA New Adaptive Load-Shedding and Restoration Strategy for Autonomous Operation of Microgrids: A Real-Time Study
Islanding operation is one of the main features of a MicroGrid (MG), which is realized regarding the presence of distributed energy resources (DERs). However, in order to deal with the control challenges, which an MG faces during island operation, particularly when the transition is associated with certain excessive load, an efficient control strategy is required. This paper introduces a Centra...
