Tidal freshwater wetlands are sensitive to sea level rise and increased salinity, although little information is known about the impact of salinification on nutrient biogeochemistry in tidal freshwater forested wetlands. We quantified soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) mineralization using seasonal in situincubations of modified resin cores along spatial gradients of chronic salinification (from continuously freshwater tidal forest to salt impacted tidal forest to oligohaline marsh) and in hummocks and hollows of the continuously freshwater tidal forest along the blackwater Waccamaw River and alluvial Savannah River. Salinification increased rates of net N and P mineralization fluxes and turnover in tidal …
Seasonal Variation In Rooting Of The Cuttings From Tetraploid Locust In Relation To Nutrients And Endogenous Plant Hormones Of The Shoot, Wang Xiao Ling, Zhao Zhong
Seasonal Variation In Rooting Of The Cuttings From Tetraploid Locust In Relation To Nutrients And Endogenous Plant Hormones Of The Shoot, Wang Xiao Ling, Zhao Zhong
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
This study was carried out to elucidate the relationship between seasonal variation of rooting ability and inner conditions of the cuttings of Tetraploid Locust, and to determine the optimum time for rooting. It was conducted in a glasshouse at the Experimental Nursery of the College of Forestry, North-West Agriculture and Forestry University, Yang Ling, China, during 2009. Tetraploid Locust cuttings were taken from healthy trees of 3-year-old field-grown mother-stock orchard. Cuttings (15 cm in length and 10-12 mm in diameter) were collected and planted on 15 February, 15 March, 15 May, 15 June, 15 July, and 15 August. The results …
