Modeling studies have shown that nitrogen (N) strongly regulates ecosystem responses and feedback to climate warming. However, it remains unclear what mechanisms underlie N regulation of ecosystem-climate interactions. To examine N regulation of ecosystem feedback to climate change, we have conducted a warming and clipping experiment since November 1999 in a tallgrass prairie of the Great Plain...

abstract in order to study the effects of variety, water regime, zinc and cadmium levels on concentration, content and translocation of p, cu, fe and mn on rice, a factorial experiment was conducted consisting of four factors including: two varieties of rice (vandana and hashemi), two water regimes (flooded and nonflooded), three levels of zinc, and three of cadmium (0, 5 and 10 mg kg-1). the e...

the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on nitrogen concentration of berseem clover were examined in contaminated soil with cadmium. examined factors included: levels of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation ( glomus mosseae ) (with and without inoculation), and different levels of soil contamination by cadmium (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg.kg-1). the results showed that the effects of cad...

to study the effect of salinity and organic matter on chemical composition and root morphology of pistachio cv. badami, budded on seedling root stocks, a greenhouse experiment was conducted as a factorial based on a completely randomized design with three replications. treatments consisted of four salinity (zero, 800, 1600 and 2400 mg nacl kg-1 soil) and three organic matter (zero, two and four...

in this study, the performance of different cultivation methods on sugar beet fields was evaluated. eight treatments were considered: a) use of a rolling cultivator twice during the growing season; b) use of a rolling cultivator three times during the growing season; c) use of a crescent cultivator twice during the growing season; d) use of a crescent cultivator three times during the growing s...
