The effect of mineral fertilizers on the yield of vegetable beans, depending on the competition between plants in crops [PDF]
The sources of nutrient accumulation in beans and bean seeds are the process of photosynthesis, root nutrition during the seed filling period, as well as the reutilization of substances accumulated in the vegetative organs in the previous period.

Do sandy beaches accumulate nitrogen?
A moderate-energy sandy beach receiving a hlgh natural organic load of stranded wrack was studied over 1 yr. Nitrogen input to the beach was calculated from wrack nitrogen content, an average standing stock of 72 kg m-' wet wrack and a turnover time of 9 d, estimated from litter bag (2mm mesh) experiments.

Biosolids affect the growth, nitrogen accumulation and nitrogen leaching of barley [PDF]
Biosolids are organic fertilisers derived from treated and stabilised sewage sludge that increase soil fertility and supply nitrogen to crops over a long period, but can also increase the risk of nitrogen (N) leaching. In this work, spring barley was grown in lysimeters filled with soil amended with biosolids, and with and without mineral N ...
