Influence of organic and mineral amendments on microbial soil properties and processes
(Elsevier, 2007-01)
Microbial diversity in soils is considered important for maintaining sustainability of agricultural production systems. However, the links between microbial diversity and ecosystem processes are not well understood. This ...
Fungal inoculum properties : Extracellular enzyme expression and pentachlorophenol removal by New Zealand Trametes species in contaminated field soils
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2007)
This study was conducted to improve the ability of indigenous New Zealand white-rot fungi to remove pentachlorophenol (PCP) from contaminated field soil. The effects of different bioaugmentation conditions on PCP removal ...
Fungal inoculum properties : Extracellular enzyme expression and pentachlorophenol removal in highly contaminated field soils
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2007)
This study was conducted to improve the pentachlorophenol (PCP) bioremediation ability of white-rot fungi in highly contaminated field soils by manipulating bioaugmentation variables. These were the dry weight percentage ...
Effects of past and current crop management on soil microbial biomass and activity
(Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2007-06)
Because soil biota is influenced by a number of factors, including land use and management techniques, changing management practices could have significant effects on the soil microbial properties and processes. An experiment ...
How does defoliation management impact on yield, canopy forming processes and light interception of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) crops?
(Elsevier, 2007)
The frequency of defoliation is the major management tool that modulates shoot yield and the accumulation of C and N root reserves in lucerne crops. A fully irrigated, two year old lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) crop was ...
Accounting for the utilization of a N₂O mitigation tool in the IPCC inventory methodology for agricultural soils
(Springer Netherlands, 2007)
In this study we review recent studies
where dicyandiamide was used as a nitrification inhibitor to reduce both N₂O emissions from urine patches and nitrate leaching from pasture systems, and which led to the development ...
