Plant diversity increases soil microbial activity and soil carbon storage.
Plant diversity strongly influences ecosystem functions and services, such as soil carbon storage. However, the mechanisms underlying the positive plant diversity effects on soil carbon storage are poorly understood. We explored this relationship using long-term data from a grassland biodiversity experiment (The Jena Experiment) and radiocarbon ((14)C) modelling. Here we show that higher plant ...
متن کاملInteractions of Nitrogen, Weather, Soil, and Irrigation on Corn Yield
but no difference in yields with increased N when the season was cool. Numerous factors that affect corn yield in the Northern Great Soil moisture status is also important in maintaining Plains are not considered in current N fertilizer recommendations. A maximum corn yields, and maintaining optimal soil moislinear model to describe the interactions of N fertility, weather, soil, ture is facili...
متن کاملSoil Temperatures as Related to Corn Yield in Central Iowa
Soil temperature data collected a t the Iowa State College Agronomy Experimental Farm are analyzed in relation to corn yields. Some of the determining weather factors of soil temperature are evaluated. Monthly values of soil temperature at various levels are compared with corn yield in central Iowa and three physical relationships are discussed. In order to summarize the effect of these three r...
متن کاملEffect of microbial inoculation of high-moisture corn on fermentation characteristics, aerobic stability, and cattle performance.
Two trials were conducted to evaluate the effects of microbial inoculation for preservation of high-moisture corn (HMC). In Trial 1, three concrete, upright silos were filled with 83 t of HMC that was treated with either a dry microbial inoculant (DI), reconstituted liquid microbial inoculant (RLI), or an untreated control (CON). The CON or RLI-treated HMC were placed in two silos in Trial 2. B...
متن کاملEnhancement of Growth, Inoculation and Yield Production of Corn (Zea mays L.) Hybrids by Using Bio-Fertilizer
Bio-fertilizers are naturally occurring soil bacteria that aggressively colonize plant roots and benefit plants by providing growth promotion. This investigation was aimed at determining the effect of Nitroxin bio-fertilizer application on growth, inoculation and yield production of corn hybrids. An experiment was conducted as split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with fou...
