Estimated nutrient mineralization in northern nutrient-poor ecosystems, measured as differences in soil inorganic nutrients before and after a period of soil incubation in the absence of plants and litter, usually shows a discrepancy of much lower rates than plant nutrient uptake rates. In plots that had been pre-treated by 12 year of warming and fertilizer addition, we incubated soils together...

Soil quality indicates the ability of soil to perform its functions in land use or ecosystems. The aim study was determine effect liquid organic fertilizer and sago ella compost on available NPK, NPK uptake growth mustard (Brassica Juncea) Psament soil. This research conducted laboratory Greenhouse. experiment used at doses 0.10, 20 tons/ha, with 3 ppm 6 ppm. results found that application had ...

abstract heavy metals enter to human food chain through the plant and soil contamination. it is very important to evaluate the affecting factors on plant uptake of heavy metals. in this study the effects of copper and zinc availability on cadmium uptake of root and shoot of corn and sunflower was investigated. the experiment was carried out with a factorial arrangement, two species of plants (s...

Considered to play an important role in plant mineral nutrition, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is a common relationship between the roots of a great majority of plant species and glomeromycotan fungi. Its effects on the plant host are highly context dependent, with the greatest benefits often observed in phosphorus (P)-limited environments. Mycorrhizal contribution to plant nitrogen (N)...

conclusions concerning the ability of salicorniaeuropea to survive in the contaminated areas, it might be suitable that endemic types of this plant would be cultivated in contaminated coast lines. results the highest uptake was at eight mg crude oil, per one g of soil and the least uptake was at 13.75 mg crude oil, per one g of soil. it seems that physical characteristics of crude oil are the m...

A major portion of phosphorus (P) applied as fertilizers is bound in soils as P compounds of variable adsorption strength, reducing the effectiveness of P fertilization. Plant genotypes equipped with mechanisms for utilizing the adsorbed P more efficiently can, therefore, enhance the effectiveness of P fertilization. Such genotypes will also enrich plant gene pools for further analysis and upgr...

Genotypic differences in phosphorus (P) uptake from P-deficient soils may be due to higher root growth or higher external root efficiency (micrograms of P taken up per square centimeter of root surface area). Both factors are highly interrelated because any additional P provided by externally efficient roots will also stimulate root growth. It will be necessary to separate both factors to ident...

in this study the effects of some soil properties on uptake arsenic and cadmium by silybum marianum was studied. to this end surrounding area asphalt plant of city kalaleh, was divided to 6 pieces (a, b, c, d, e, f), with an area of approximately one hectare. plots a and d on both sides of the river, are the nearest areas asphalt plant. also a non-polluting area as a control was considered. ars...

The rhizosphere is a hot spot of soil microbial activity and largely fed by root exudation. carbon (C) exudation flux, coupled with plant growth, considered strategy plants to facilitate nutrient uptake. C accompanied release nutrients. Nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) co-limit the productivity plant-microbial system. Therefore, C:N:P stoichiometry exudates should be linked economies, functional tra...
