Peatlands cover about 3% of the Earth’s surface and are regarded as a vital carbon (C) pool sink. The formation peatland is supported by continuously supplied nitrogen (N) but sources this N remain unclear. Here, we first review stocks rate they accumulate in peatlands, then present N, especially through biological fixation (BNF). We found that global peatlands store 5.9–25.9 Gt N. In past mill...

Woodland sage (Salvia nemorosa) is an important native medicinal plant in Iran and is considered as a rich source of phenolic and flavonoids compounds. The present research was conducted with respect to the optimization of medium for biomass accumulation and secondary metabolite production in cell suspension culture of S. nemorosa. In this research the effects of total nitrogen content (0, 15, ...

A field experiment was conducted to examine the effects of different depths ofnitrogen (N) fertiliser placements on N accumulation, remobilisation and NO3−-Ncontent in soil of rainfed wheat. Nitrogen was applied on the surface (D1) and inthe 10 cm (D2), 20 cm (D3) and 30 cm (D4) soil layers from 2010 to 2012.Compared with D1 and D2, D3 and D4 treatments obtained significant higher Ndistribution...

in order to study the effects of simultaneous application of znso4 and biological fertilizer, azotobacter chroococcum and azospirillum brasilense, on grain yield and nitrogen uptake efficiency in rapeseed (brassica napus l.), cv. hyola308, a field experiment was conducted as split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design at research field of faculty of agricultural sciences, uni...

a four-year field experiment was conducted to understand the characters of nutrient accumulation and distribution in maize under different yield levels, so as to provide scientific guidance for effective utilization of mineral fertilizers, and eventually for high yield of spring maize. the grain yield, nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium) accumulation and uptake efficiency were evaluated...

Nitrogen availability and illumination intensity are two key factors which affect rice growth. However, their influences on total nitrogen accumulation, photosynthetic rate, root morphologies, and yields are not fully understood. We conducted two field experiments to (1) evaluate the effects of shading under different N treatments on photosynthetic parameters, root morphologies, total nutrient ...

for finding out the effect of nitrogen and calcium carbonate fertilizers on nitrate and nitrogen accumulation in aboveground biomass, calcium concentration and dry weight of leaves of satureja hortensis l., a factorial experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications in karaj in 2008. the nitrogen fertilizer was in four levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg. ...
