Creator:: Warrag, Esam Eldin I.
Abstract:: Seedlings of Acacia senegal were grown in a glass greenhouse to study the effect of nitrogen and irrigation regimes on dry matter production and allocation to different plant organs, net photosynthesis per unit leaf area, and nitrogen content in the different plant organs. Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) was used in this...

Creator:: Jennings, Tara Nicolle
Abstract:: Land managers, scientists, and the interested public are confronted with uncertainty about the impacts of salvage logging on soil productivity. In recent years, stand-replacing wildfires in the western United States have increased in frequency, prompting the need to evaluate the effect of post-fire treatments on forest ecosystem recovery. This study...

Creator:: Schutter, Mary E.
Abstract:: The Oregon Long-Term Soil Quality Project was initiated to identify soil properties that respond rapidly to alternative management practices. Such practices included winter cover cropping, which was implemented at two experimental research stations and several grower fields throughout the Willamette Valley. The goal of this thesis was to identify the...

Creator:: Fernando, W. Gerard Dilantha
Abstract:: Phytophthora vignae, causal agent of stem and root rot of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), was reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The pathogen was found in cowpea field soils from 3 of 5 geographic regions sampled. Only one site however, had plants exhibiting disease symptoms. Of the eight cowpea...

Creator:: Hesse, Cedar N.
Abstract:: Mat-forming ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi represent a prevalent constituent of many temperate forest ecosystems and create dramatic changes in soil structure and chemistry. EcM mat soil have been shown to have increased microbial respiration rates and have been hypothesized to harbor unique assemblages of fungi and bacteria. The objectives of this...

Creator:: Ritchie, Nancy J.
Abstract:: Frankia from root nodules of nine different species of Ceanothus were characterized. DNA was amplified directly from nodular material using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The amplified region includes the 3' end of the 16S rRNA gene, the intergenic spacer (IGS), and a large portion of the 23S rRNA gene....

Creator:: Dossa, Ekw'e Lokossou, 1960-
Abstract:: Two native shrub species (Piliostigma reticulatum and Guiera senegalensis) are prominent vegetation components in farmers’ fields in Senegal. However, their role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem function has largely been overlooked. A study including both laboratory and field experiments was conducted to evaluate potential biophysical interactions of the two shrub...
