The carbon sequestration potential in coastal soils is linked to aboveground and belowground plant productivity and biomass, which in turn, is directly and indirectly influenced by nutrient input. We evaluated the influence of longterm and near-term nutrient input on aboveground and belowground carbon accumulation in seagrass beds, using a nutrient enrichment (nitrogen and phosphorus) experimen...

Investigations were performed on variations of photosynthetic pigment in conchocelis of Alaskan Porphyra species, P. abbottae (Pa), P. pseudolanceolata (Pe), P. pseudolinearis (Pi) and P. torta (Pt), in response to environmental variables. Conchocelis were cultured under varying conditions of irradiance (0, 10, 40 and 160 μmol photons m-2s-1), nutrient concentration (0, f/4, f/2 and f) for up t...

Information on nutrient composition of bamboo shoots is scanty despite being used as vegetables in some parts Kenya. In this study, the content from selected exotic species (Dendrocalamus giganteus, Dendrocalamus membranaceus, Dendrocalamus asper, Oxytenanthera abyssinica and Bambusa vulgaris) growing various agro-climatic regions Kenya were determined. The study aim...
