grafting of cucurbitaceae species to some rootstocks seems to be especially beneficial for the nitrogen nutrition of these plants. moreover, melons (cucumis melo l.) have been considered among those plants that could benefit from the addition of silicon (si) in the nutrient solution (ns). thus, two experiments were carried out in the following order: (i) it was investigated how grafting affects...

Microalgal growth curve, after the exponential phase, shows a stationary phase where algalbiomass production is inhibited and remains constant by some factors such as nutrientdepletion and intrinsic behavior. The present study is concerned with evaluating effects ofthe culture medium condition and intrinsic behavior on biomass production by Dunaliellatertiolecta. To this end, effect of pH, nutr...

Fisheries scientists face a challenge in that virtually all methods of fish capture or observation are selective. Further, most fish capture methods can be applied to only a fraction of the entire area of interest. Thus, measures such as catch per unit effort (C/f) or catch per area can only be regarded, at best, as being proportional to the true population abundance (see Chapter 7). The method...

The increase in the population of the planet and the rapid economic growth and, consequently, the high consumption of energy has created many environmental problems in the globe. Due to these reasons and the lack of renewability of these fossil fuels, there has been a steep trend towards the production of renewable fuels from natural sources, one of which is the production of energy from biomas...

It has often been stated or implied that grazing is an important factor in the land degradation process, a suggestion supported by various research projects, and this study investigated the effect of livestock grazing on stem height, crowncover, production, basal diameter, stem biomass, litter, leaf-stem index (leaf to stem weight) , root diameter and weight and seed production per individual o...
