Mycorrhiza and Litter Decomposition [PDF]

Nature, 1971
FORMATION of the mor type of forest litter, characterized by slow decomposition, has been attributed to a number of factors1–3, but the effect of mycorrhizal fungi, though postulated4,5, has not been studied experimentally. We have conducted an experiment in which root activity and thus mycorrhizal activity were reduced in small areas of an unthinned ...

Adapting Coastal Collection Methods for River Assessment to Increase Data on Global Plastic Pollution: Examples From India and Indonesia

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
Marine debris often begins as litter or waste on land. Rivers play an important role in transporting this debris from communities to ocean systems, and yet we lack data on debris in freshwater systems.

Making the most of life: environmental choice during rearing enhances the ability of laying hens to take opportunities

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionThe potential of aviary housing for improving laying hen (Gallus gallus domesticus) welfare will be constrained if rearing conditions limit the hens’ behavioral ability to take opportunities. Incorporating theories on developmental plasticity
