In Prayagraj agro climatic conditions strawberry is produced with high-technology, but there little research on the productivity of in Potting media mixture under shade net conditions. The present study was conducted to compare single potting for strawberry. conventional method used comparison study. this method, uniform runners cultivar Winter Dawn were grown pots growing medium consisting goa...

During 1997 and 1998 intensive land irrigation and clearance activities in Indonesia, combined with a greatly extended ENSO-related dry season, created conditions for several months of forest fires. Fires were particularly intense in the lowland peatlands of Kalimantan and Sumatra where both forest and peat fires occurred. A 24,910 km (2.491 MHa) study area in Central Kalimantan has been used t...

The first overview on the Auchenorrhyncha fauna of peat bogs of the Austrian Bohemian Forest is presented. Seven oligotrophic peat bog sites were studied in 2011 by suction sampler ("G-Vac") and 93 Auchenorrhyncha species (with 7465 adult specimens) were recorded. Eleven species (about 18 % of the individuals) are tyrphobiontic or tyrphophilous. The relative species abundance plot is not very s...

melon produced by transplanting cause seed saving, reduce the risk of cold, pest and disease stress. in order to investigate the effects of growing medium and cultivars on characteristic of melon's transplants, an experiment was conducted based on randomized completely design with 10 replications at the ferdowsi university of mashhad during 2010. treatments included 6 levels of growing medium (...

The presence and distribution of isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs), lipids that constitute the membranes of Archaea, have been investigated in a 50-cm long core from a Swedish peat bog. In the acrotelm, the periodically water saturated and thus oxic upper layer of the peat bog, only minor amounts of GDGTs were found. These amounts increase considerably in the catotelm, th...

change system to measure the net exchange of CO2 at the surfaces of three shady feather moss and three exposed sphagnum moss sites in a black spruce forest during 35 days at the end of the 1995 growing season. Midday gross photosynthesis was 0.5 to 1.0 μmol m s by feather moss and 0.5 to 2.5 μmol m s by sphagnum moss. Photosynthesis by sphagnum moss was reduced by approximately 70% at 0 °C, and...

One important assumption in applying 210Pb-dating is that atmospherically deposited 210Pb is immobilized in the peat or sediment column. This assumption has been challenged widely, but has never been evaluated experimentally. We evaluated Pb mobility and the chemical forms in which Pb is stabilized in peat profiles by adding either soluble or particulate Pb to intact peat cores that were mainta...
