Inorganic arsenic (iAs) is a group 1 carcinogen, and consumption of rice can be significant pathway iAs exposure in the food chain. Although there are regulations place to control for marketed some countries, additional measures explored remove from rice. Due surface-bound soluble nature iAs, previous studies have shown that it removed extent using different cooking methods. Towards this goal w...

On 16th of March 2008, temperature decreased to -6ºC in some parts of the Kerman pistachio plantation area that was caused the heavy damage to pistachio growers. After the damage, some rootstocks were resistance to this temperature and no damage was interned to them. In the present study five rootstocks of resistant and five rootstocks of susceptible to frost damage were selected and evaluated ...

Nutritional imbalances are of great interest in the ecological stoichiometry literature, in which researchers have focused almost exclusively on cases where nutrients are available in low amounts relative to energy (carbon), and animal growth is impaired due to insufficient nutrient intake. Little attention has been given to situations where food elemental content is higher than the level that ...

Bu araştırmada, fındık bahçelerinin bitki besin elementi içerikleri ile verim ve kalite özellikleri arasındaki ilişki belirlenmiştir. Tombul çeşidinde yürütülen çalışmada tespit edilen bitkilerin yaprak meyve örnekleri incelenmiştir. İncelenen bitkilerde 274-1523 g bitki-1, ağırlığı 1.67-2.19g, iç 0.90-1.19g, oranı %34.9-54.2, sağlam %67.7-90.3, kabuk kalınlığı 0.89-1.10mm, çotanaktaki sayısı 2...

To understand the importance of plants in structuring the vertical distributions of soil nutrients, we explored nutrient distributions in the top meter of soil for more than 10,000 profiles across a range of ecological conditions. Hypothesizing that vertical nutrient distributions are dominated by plant cycling relative to leaching, weathering dissolution, and atmospheric deposition, we examine...

this study was conducted to choose the best species for plantation on a poor drainage soil in southern coast of caspian sea, iran. nutrient concentrations in live and senescent leaves and soil properties were compared among alnus subcordata c.a.mey (n-fixing tree), populus deltoides­ marsh. (non n-fixing tree)and taxodium distichum (l.) rich. (coniferous tree) plantations. in each of these plan...

In nutrient limited soils, minerals constitute a major reservoir of bio-essential elements. Consequently, the release of nutritive elements during weathering is crucial. Bacteria have been shown to enhance weathering rates; however, there has been limited work that has focused on the bacterial weathering of bedrock or parent rock, which are the major sources of minerals, in nutrient limiting so...
