Valorization aboveground of the extract of compost ovine for fertigation of the vegetables plants in Tunisia

Journal of Fundamental and Applied Sciences, 2015
The main objective of this study was to highlight the fertilizing capacity of the extract of ovine compost (prepared to the simple infusion) in gardening nursery, while specifying the appropriate ratios of extraction and dilution ,for soilless plant fertigation intended for two strategic summer crops in Tunisia: seasonal tomato and seasonal pepper.

Seeing roots from space: aboveground fingerprints of root depth in vegetation sensitivity to climate in dry biomes

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
With predicted climate change, drylands are set to get warmer and drier, increasing water stress for the vegetation in these regions. Plant sensitivity to drier periods and drought events will largely depend on trait strategies to access and store water,

Soil Seed Bank and Aboveground Vegetation in Grazing Lands of Southern Marmara, Turkey

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2011
The composition and conservation of plant communities is greatly influenced by the soil seed bank. Information on the soil seed banks and the remaining vegetation in these ecosystems is crucial for guiding the restoration efforts. This study examines the

Vegetation structure and aboveground biomass of Páramo peatlands along a high-elevation gradient in the northern Ecuadorian Andes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The high-elevation peatlands of the páramos of the northern Andes constitute a diverse environment that harbors large numbers of species and several types of plant communities along altitudinal, latitudinal, and environmental gradients.

Effects of 10-year management regimes on the soil seed bank in saline-alkaline grassland.

PLoS ONE, 2015
BackgroundManagement regimes for vegetation restoration of degraded grasslands can significantly affect the process of ecological succession. However, few studies have focused on variation in the soil seed bank during vegetation restoration under ...

A study of soil seed banks across one complete chronosequence of secondary succession in a karst landscape [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Anthropogenic disturbance and distinctive geochemistry have resulted in rocky desertification in many karst regions of the world. Seed banks are crucial to vegetation regeneration in degraded karst ecosystems characterized by a discontinuous distribution

Influence of grazing exclosure on vegetation biomass and soil quality

International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2017
This study investigated the influence of sixteen years exclosure from unmanaged grazing on aboveground vegetation biomass, soil organic matter (SOM), soil aggregation and nitrogen (N) mineralization in arid shrubland of Baluchistan, Pakistan.

Estimating Bermudagrass Aboveground Biomass Using Stereovision and Vegetation Coverage

Remote Sensing
Accurate information about the amount of standing biomass is important in pasture management for monitoring forage growth patterns, minimizing the risk of overgrazing, and ensuring the necessary feed requirements of livestock. The morphological features of plants, like crop height and density, have been proven to be prominent predictors of crop yield ...

Variations in Soil Seed Banks in Sedge Peatlands across an Altitude Gradient

Diversity
As a key component of the ecosystem, soil seed banks (SSBs) play a vital role in the evolution and renewal of plant communities. Although the pattern and mechanisms of influence of SSBs along the altitudinal gradient have been reported, most studies have

Intermediate coupling between aboveground and belowground biomass maximises the persistence of grasslands.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Aboveground and belowground biomass compartments of vegetation fulfil different functions and they are coupled by complex interactions. These compartments exchange water, carbon and nutrients and the belowground biomass compartment has the capacity to ...
