The significance of atmospheric nutrient inputs and canopy interception of precipitation during ecosystem development in piñon-juniper woodlands of the southwestern USA [PDF]
, 2013 In arid ecosystems, widely spaced vegetation and prolonged dry periods may enhance canopy capture of nutrients from dry deposition. Additionally, differences in precipitation type, plant canopy architecture, and soil nutrient limitation could affect ...

Microbial pathogenesis and the evasion strategies from the legume plant protective immunity
Legume Science, 2023 Plants are stringent sources for the global food supply, and among them, legumes are considered to be the special ones since they have the specific capability to develop a symbiotic relationship with certain soil microorganisms (i.e., the rhizobial ...

Sugarcane Bagasse Is an Effective Soilless Substrate Amendment in Quick-turn Osteospermum Production
HortScience, 2023 Many greenhouse growers rely on peat-based soilless substrates to produce salable crops in a relatively short period of time. Peat-based substrate suppliers often incorporate additional organic materials such as wood fiber to extend peat supplies.

A targeted management of the nutrient solution in a soilless tomato crop according to plant needs [PDF]
, 2016 The adoption of closed soilless systems is useful in minimizing the environmental impact of the greenhouse crops. Instead, a significant problem in closed soilless systems is represented by the accumulation of ions in the recycled nutrient solution (NS),

Nutrient Sensing in Plants [PDF]
Molecular Plant, 2012 Higher plants require a number of essential nutrient elements for completing their life cycles. Mineral nutrients are mainly acquired by roots from the rhizosphere and are subsequently distributed to shoots. To cope with nutrient limitations, plants have evolved a set of elaborate responses consisting of sensing mechanisms and signaling processes to ...
