Nutrient Uptake by a Deposit-Feeding Enteropneust: Nitrogenous Sources
We measured carbon, nitrogen, protein, bacterial and microalgal abundance, and minerals p e c ~ f ~ c surface area m sediments from the feeding zone of undisturbed Saccoglossus korualewskyi, as well as In their fresh egesta. Comparison of results using surficial material (> 1 mm) and the top 3 mm of sediments indicated ingestion of surficial material by the enteropneusts. Assuming the surficial...
متن کاملDeposit-Feeding Sea Cucumbers Enhance Mineralization and Nutrient Cycling in Organically-Enriched Coastal Sediments
BACKGROUND Bioturbators affect multiple biogeochemical interactions and have been suggested as suitable candidates to mitigate organic matter loading in marine sediments. However, predicting the effects of bioturbators at an ecosystem level can be difficult due to their complex positive and negative interactions with the microbial community. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We quantified the ef...
متن کاملNutrient Uptake by Woody Root Systems
The fine-root system of perennial, dicot woody species can be dominated by brown roots. Although as much as 90% of the surface area of a root system can be in this category of roots, the nutrient uptake characteristics of brown roots are not well understood. If this part of the root system has active uptake, then its significance is obvious. If it does not then modelling predictions of nutrient...
متن کاملA dynamic model of nutrient uptake by root hairs.
Root hairs are known to be important in the uptake of sparingly soluble nutrients by plants, but quantitative understanding of their role in this is weak. This limits, for example, the breeding of more nutrient-efficient crop genotypes. We developed a mathematical model of nutrient transport and uptake in the root hair zone of single roots growing in soil or solution culture. Accounting for roo...
متن کاملThe Efficiency of Integrated Pre-Emergence and Post-Emergence Herbicides in Nutrient Uptake by Wheat and Nutrient Depletion by Weeds in Sesame-Wheat Cropping System in Khuzestan
In order to investigate the effect of pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicides on nutrient depletion, weed population and nutrient uptake by wheat in sesame-wheat cropping system in Khuzestan a field experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications in the research farm of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz in 2019-2020. Treatments included no weeding, hand...
