Fast-growing willows (Salix spp.) provide alternative sources of renewable energy generation, but need an adequate nutrient availability in the soil for high biomass production. In general, species mixtures can be more nutrient-efficient than pure cultures, this is scarcely known Salix spp. Therefore, study evaluates and P mobilization under two willow species, Salixdasyclados var. ‘Loden’ S. s...

The tannery industry is a major source of anthropogenic chromium (Cr) contamination due to the large amounts of solid waste produced and its problematic management. The unique composition of tannery waste, usually high concentrations of Cr and other metals as well as organic matter and nutrients, makes it a great risk for soil and water environment but also a possible effective fertilizer for n...

In 1998, a revolutionary system of angiosperm classification, the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system was published. Meanwhile, another new system of classification of angiosperms, the eight-class system was proposed by C. Y. Wu and colleagues based on long term work on the flora of China. The Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae project was initiated in 1959 and completed by 2004. It is the large...

Higher water potentials in recovering burned salt-cedar (Tamarix ramosissima) relative to unburned plants and the opposite situation in willow (Salix gooddingii) provide evi­ dence that postfire water stress is reduced in the former but not the latter. Similarly, diurnal patterns ofstomatal con­ duc(ance in these taxa are consistent with the existence of more vigor in burned salt-cedar than wil...

examining the floral wreath on the mummy of the Princess Ugi-Khouni, of the twenty-first Egyptian dynasty, discovered, says Nature, at Deriel-Behan, the folded leaves of a willow (Salix Sa/so/j), perfect flowers of the corn-poppy, flower-heads of Ccntvurea deprcssa, and of Picris coronopi/olia. The flowers of the corn-poppy appear to have been gathered in an unopened condition to prevent the pe...
