-The factors affecting the amounts and types of organic matter in lacustrine sediments are summarized in this review, and synthesis, of published studies. Biota hving in the lake and in its watershed are the sources of the organic compounds initially contributed to the lake system. Microbial reworking of these materials during sinking and early sedimentation markedly diminishes the total amount...

the nutritive values of non- processed and processed grape pomace with neurospora sitophila were evaluated. the chemical compositions and physical characteristics of samples were evaluated by laboratory analysis. an in vitro digestibility experiment was done to determine digestibility coefficients of dry matter, organic matter and also digestible organic matter in dry matter (domd) to estimate ...

The method of Boisen and Fernandez [Boisen, S., Fernandez, J.A., 1997. Prediction of total tract digestibility of energy in feedstuffs and pig diets by in vitro analyses, Anim. Feed Sci. Technol. 68, 277–286] for measuring in vitro fecal digestibility of organic matter (OMdv) or in vitro digestible organic matter content (DOMv, g/kg) was used on 113 compound feeds (79 as mash and 34 as pellets)...

Organic farming is an agricultural practice that raises plants especially vegetables and fruits without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, or plant growth regulators. All over the world, the interest for organic farming has increased recently. Different greenhouse experiments were carried out in the northern Jordan Valley, to compare the effect of four fermented organic m...

Organic matter and its replenishment has become a major component of soil health management programs. Many of the soil's physical, chemical, and biological properties are a function of organic matter content and quality. Adding organic matter to soil influences diverse and important biological activities. The diversity and number of free-living and plant-parasitic nematodes are altered by rotat...

soil organic matter is an indicator of soil, agriculture and environmental quality, playing important roles in soil strength and sound environmental functions. size and chemical fractionation of soil organic matter are long-standing approaches in clarifying their key role in soil processes. twenty seven surface samples (0-20 cm) and 6 pedons from different landform units were sampled and descri...
