Nutrient cycling in forests [PDF]
SUMMARYStudies of nutrient cycling in forests span more than 100 yr. In earlier years, most attention was given to the measurement of the pools of nutrients in plants and soil and of the return of nutrients from plant to soil in litterfall. The past 20 yr or so have seen a major concentration on the processes of nutrient cycling, with particular ...

Soil Microbiology and Nutrient Cycling
Soil organisms play a central role in the recycling of nutrients in soils, making them available to plants, transforming some nutrient elements to gaseous forms which can be lost from soil, and other transformations which predispose nutrients to loss. In this chapter we will illustrate these processes in the context of sustainable crop production.

Winter wheat SPAD estimation from UAV hyperspectral data using cluster-regression methods
Soil plant analysis development (SPAD) values indicate the relative chlorophyll content in leaves. Chlorophyll plays a vital role in wheat growth and fertilization management as a photosynthetic agent.

Benthic-pelagic nutrient cycling in shallow lakes : investigating the functional role of benthic microalgae [PDF]
Microbes, living on the boundary between the sediment and the water-column in lakes, can play a pivotal role in governing the magnitude and frequency of nutrient cycling.

A method for phenotyping roots of large plants
Linking root traits to plant functions can enable crop improvement for yield and ecosystem functions. However, plant breeding efforts targeting belowground traits are limited by appropriate phenotyping methods for large root systems.

Characteristics of Organic Phosphorus Pool in Soil of Typical Agriculture Systems in South China
Organic phosphorus (P) is an important potential source of plant P nutrition in agro-ecosystems. It was hypothesized that the soil organic P pools were distinguished one from another by different land-utilization patterns.
