Application of Trichoderma sp. 1 on Rhizophora mucronata leaf litter and its effect on milkfish feed in Belawan Sicanang, North Sumatra [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Leaf litter is is contains organic substances such as carbohydrates, proteins, and nutriens. Litter needs to decompose first so that organism and microorganisms can use it. Fungi help play break down litter in the environment. Trichoderma sp.

Combined effects of water temperature, grazing snails and terrestrial herbivores on leaf decomposition in urban streams [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
The decomposition of organic matter in freshwaters, such as leaf litter, can affect global nutrient (e.g., carbon) cycling. This process can be influenced by fast urbanization through increased water temperature, reduced aquatic diversity and changed ...

Perennial Legumes Pueraria phaseoloides and Leucaena leucocephala Exhibit High Potential for Fertility Restoration of Degraded Mined Soils in Ghana

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Revegetating the subsoil layer of abandoned gold mined sites with the perennial legumes Leucaena Leucocephala, Pueraria phaseoloides and Gliricidia sepium without any soil amendments increases the content of soil organic carbon and important macro‐nutrients, which are crucial for restoring soil health and productivity. These improvements in soil health

Effects of Biochar and Maize Roots on CO2 Emissions and Microbial Biomass C in Loess Soils

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Refractory substances such as biochar and labile substances such as dead fine and coarse roots play important roles in soil organic matter dynamics and have key ecological functions. However, interactions between these substances have only rarely been studied.

Hydraulic reconstruction of catastrophic drainage from the Late Glacial, Lake Fraser, British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glacial Lake Fraser, which formed in British Columbia against the retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet, stored ~520 km3 of water before its near‐total drainage into the Salish Sea during an outburst flood event. Despite the impact of the outburst flood on sediment transport and landscape evolution in the Fraser River valley, its peak discharge and

A comparison of monitoring methods for inferring demographics of a pond‐breeding amphibian population over 14 years

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used 4 sampling methods to estimate or index the abundance and sex ratio of spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) over 14 years. The present study highlights the importance of considering individual heterogeneity in capture probability when estimating abundance of pond‐breeding amphibians from capture data with imperfect detection. Abstract Long‐

Microbial biomass and activity in litter during the initial development of pure and mixed plantations of Eucalyptus grandis and Acacia mangium

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2013
Studies on microbial activity and biomass in forestry plantations often overlook the role of litter, typically focusing instead on soil nutrient contents to explain plant and microorganism development. However, since the litter is a significant source of

Application of Principal Component Analysis and Probabilistic Neural Networks in Ferralsols Recovery Evaluation Through Planting of Mabea Fistulifera and Eucalyptus Urograndis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents an innovative assessment model for analyzing the evolution of degraded soils subjected to different reclamation strategies. The proposal combines statistical and artificial intelligence tools to jointly integrate multiple physical and chemical soil properties, allowing for a more synthetic view of the processes.

Effect of litter quality and Home-Field advantage on leaf-litter decomposition of Tree of heaven and European black pine leaf-litters

مجله جنگل ایران, 2021
Litter quality plays a key role in the decomposition process and nutrients dynamics. In most studies, it is assumed that litter has a higher rate of decomposition in its ecological site. Evidence for this theory has not yet been fully confirmed.

Impact of Sugarcane Management Practices and Time Periods on Soil Organic Carbon and δ13C Signature After Paddy Rice Conversion

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land use change (LUC) from paddy rice to sugarcane cultivation strongly influences soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, with the extent and direction of change depending on residue management and time since conversion. This study aimed to (i) evaluate SOC stock changes under different residue management practices and conversion periods following ...
