The nutrient elements uptake in many of soils, is a problem because of high pH and plenty of calcium ions in them. Some of these elements are phosphorus and microelements. It is possible to increase absorption of these nutrient elements by addition of sulfur in soil and biological oxidation. The rate of this reaction is very slow and Thiobacillus bacteria are the most important oxidators of sul...

Ecosystem analysis has established nutrient cycling as an important area of ecology involving biological, chemical, and geological interactions. Studying the flow of elements through ecosystems provides us with a tool for understanding the functioning of ecosystems. For example, if an ecosystem component has a rapid flux of elements through it, or if it stores large amounts of an element, that ...

Two major difficulties exist in the use of Aspergillus niger v. Tiegh for identification and study of the roles of micronutrients, although these are certainly not unique with this fungus. The water, sucrose, and salts employed may be assumed never to be completely free from impurities of micronutrients. Moreover, increases in yield with apparently non-nutritive elements may be due to biologica...

1 The biomass of all living organisms consists of around 30 of the 92 naturally occurring elements (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Table S1)1,2. All organisms must obtain chemical forms of these essential elements, termed nutrients, from their external environment. The key role that nutrients play in controlling upper-ocean productivity has long been recognized3–5. Research over recent decades, howe...

Fission can have an important influence on the termination of the r process and on the abundances of long-lived actinides, which are relevant for the determination of the age of the Universe. Fission could also influence the abundances of nuclei in the region A~90 and 130 due to fission cycling. In order to quantitatively understand the fission role in the r process, two important pieces of inf...

[1] In order to establish the potential role of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in the recycling of bioactive elements, we have quantified the release of iron, phosphate, and ammonia by these organisms along the Antarctic Peninsula sector of the Southern Ocean. The experimental results suggested that the presence of krill has a significant impact on ambient iron concentrations, as large amo...

Responses of autotrophic and heterotrophic processes to nutrients and trace elements were examined in a series of experimental estuarine food webs of increasing trophic complexity using twenty 1-m3 mesocosms. Nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) and trace elements (a mix of arsenic, copper, cadmium) were added alone and in combination during four experimental runs spanning from spring 1997 to sp...
