Intercropping maintains soil fertility in terms of chemical properties and enzyme activities on a timescale of one decadeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2015
Zhi-gang Wang, Xing-guo Bao, Xiao-fei Li, Xin Jin, Jian-hua Zhao, Jian-hao Sun, Peter Christie, Long Li
Overyielding (i.e., mixtures of crops yielding higher than expected when compared with monocultures) and increased nutrient acquisition have been found in many intercropping systems. However, there are very few published studies on long-term changes in soil chemical and biological properties in intercropping systems compared to sole cropping. A field experiment was established in 2003 in Gansu pro...... hiện toàn bộ
The role of histidine kinase signalling in response to salt stressSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-15 - 2023
Siarhei A. Dabravolski, Stanislav V. Isayenkov
Salt stress is a global environmental problem, which affects various biochemical and physiological processes in plants and significantly decreases the quantity and quality of the yield. NaCl is the main driver of NaCl-mediated effects because the accumulation of sodium ions (Na+) in plant tissues disrupts the homeostasis of other ions and may lead to secondary stresses. Two-component signalling (T...... hiện toàn bộ
Stemflow nutrient inputs to soil in a successional hardwood forestSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 140 - Trang 249-254 - 1992
Christopher S. Potter
Stemflow and throughfall from a regenerating (8-year-old) southern Appalachian hardwood forest were collected to examine the relative importance of tree bole nutrient leaching in response to acid deposition. Samples from nine (2 m2) stemflow collection plots were analyzed for four dormant season and 11 growing season rainstorm events. Results showed that, relative to throughfall fluxes, stemflow a...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of forest conversion and recovery age on fine root multi-element stoichiometry in subtropical forestsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 492 - Trang 675-686 - 2023
Mingyan Hu, Zilong Ma, Han Y. H. Chen
Fine root multi-element stoichiometric coupling is essential to maintain terrestrial ecosystem functions. Although forest conversion has been a major driver globally in recent decades, its effect on multi-element stoichiometric coupling remains poorly understood. This study examined the ratios of fine root N or P relative to exchangeable cations (i.e., K, Ca, and Mg) along a chronosequence of seco...... hiện toàn bộ
Towards understanding the traits contributing to performance of pearl millet open-pollinated varieties in phosphorus-limited environments of West AfricaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 407 - Trang 243-259 - 2015
Dorcus C. Gemenet, Francesca Beggi, C. Tom Hash, Ousmane Sy, Mousa D. Sanogo, Roger G. Zangre, Hamidou Falalou, Andreas Buerkert, Bettina I. G. Haussmann
Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] open-pollinated varieties, which are the predominant cultivars, have never been systematically evaluated for adaptation to low-soil phosphorus (P), a major constraint on pearl millet production in West Africa (WA). We evaluated grain yield (GY), flowering time (FLO), harvest index (HI), and residual grain yields (RGY) of 102 open-pollinated varieties f...... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of scion cultivar on the rhizosphere microbiome and root exudates of Phaseolus vulgaris in grafting systemSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2024
Xiuli Wei, Yuanyuan Cui, Jiaqi Wang, Guoyuan Song, Ying Cao, Long Liu, Zhixin Liu, Jing Yang, Chen Li, Jiao Wang, Moran Li, Xiao Xiao
Grafting is a commonly used technique in horticulture and agriculture. The rhizosphere microbiome is critical for plant growth and performance, however, knowledge of the effect of grafting on rhizosphere microbial assemblages is still limited. Here, we use grafting systems of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) to study the effects of scion cultivar and grafting on rhizomicrobiome and root exudates....... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 and its interaction with temperature and nitrogen on yield of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.): a meta-analysisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 475 - Trang 535-550 - 2022
Mekides Woldegiorgis Gardi, Bettina I. G. Haussmann, Waqas Ahmed Malik, Petra Högy
The general aim of this meta-analysis is to synthesize and summarize the mean response of barley yield variables to elevated CO2 (eCO2) and how temperature and nitrogen (N) affect the CO2-induced yield responses of barley. A meta-analysis procedure was used to analyze five yield variables of barley extracted from 22 studies to determine the effect size and the magnitude concerning eCO2 and its int...... hiện toàn bộ
