Growth and nitrogen fixation of tropical Acacias
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Nitrogen is mainly lost from most Australian tropical savanna ecosystems via fire and replenished through symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The frequency and severity of bushfires in Australia, which are common and extensive in tropical savannas, are expected to increase under climate change. Thus the nitrogen loss from tropical savannas can be exacerbated. This research investigates how climate change can affect the other side of the nitrogen balance – nitrogen fixation (and growth) by tropical Acacias (family: Mimosaceae).

Molybdenum and Phosphorus Interact to Constrain Asymbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Tropical Forests
Biological di-nitrogen fixation (N(2)) is the dominant natural source of new nitrogen to land ecosystems. Phosphorus (P) is thought to limit N(2) fixation in many tropical soils, yet both molybdenum (Mo) and P are crucial for the nitrogenase reaction (which catalyzes N(2) conversion to ammonia) and cell growth. We have limited understanding of how and when fixation is constrained by these nutri...

In order to study the effects of biofertilizers on yield quantity and quality of Capsicum annuum L., an experiment was conducted in completely randomized block design with three replications in 2011. All plants were treated before transplanting in pots in greenhouse condition by biological fertilizers including nitroxin and biophosphates. Treatments included 3 concentrations of nitroxin (1:3, 1...
متن کاملInfluence of Co and B12 on the growth and nitrogen fixation of Trichodesmium
We investigated the influence of varying cobalt (Co) and B12 concentrations to growth and nitrogen fixation of Trichodesmium, a major diazotroph in the tropical and subtropical oligotrophic ocean. Here we show that sufficient inorganic Co, 20 pmol L(-1), sustains the growth of Trichodesmium either with or without an additional B12 supply. We also found that in these culture conditions, nitrogen...
