Impacts of forest management practices on soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics remain under debate due to complex interactions between belowground biogeochemical processes. To optimize that minimize C N losses, we investigated the effects fluxes, including leaching dissolved organic (DOC) N, by comparing clearcutting, stem girdling (removal bark phloem tissue), control treatments in a Japa...

Previous studies indicated that Tylenchulus semipenetrans infection reduced concentrations of inorganic osmolytes, (Na, Cl, K), in roots, along with leaf K in citrus. However, infection increased leaf Na and Cl, along with carbohydrates in roots. Pruning of roots also increased carbohydrates in intact roots, whereas shoot pruning increased carbohydrates in shoots. Carbohydrates are translocated...

in order to investigate distribution status of heavy metals in cropping systems of water logging and dry farming, an experiment was conducted as split-plot arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications in research field of sari agricultural science and natural resources university. a paddy-soil considered for water logging system and the planted field with vegeta...

Loss of foundation tree species rapidly alters ecological processes in forested ecosystems. Tsuga canadensis, an hypothesized foundation species of eastern North American forests, is declining throughout much of its range due to infestation by the nonnative insect Adelges tsugae and by removal through pre-emptive salvage logging. In replicate 0.81-ha plots, T. canadensis was cut and removed, or...

The research was carried out at University of Belgrade Faculty Agriculture experimental station “Radmilovac” on table grape Victoria cv with aim to improve quality and consideration the introduction these ampelographic measures in regular grapevine growing. included two treatments berry thinning (thinning bunch tip - BtT first lateral wink -BtW), girdling (G) control (C). Combined effect were n...

*Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread in tropical forests and represent a major sink of photosynthate, yet their contribution to soil respiration in such ecosystems remains unknown. *Using in-growth mesocosms we measured AMF mycelial respiration in two separate experiments: (1) an experiment in a semi-evergreen moist tropical forest, and (2) an experiment with 6-m-tall Pseudobombax...
