Marine microorganisms play a significant role in the cycling of nutrients in the open ocean through production, consumption, and degradation of organic matter (OM). Carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are essential ingredients in every known recipe for life. However, the cycling of each of these elements proceeds at...
Intimate associations with reactive metal species permanently protect soil organic matter (SOM) from microbial access and oxidation, contributing to the build-up of organic carbon (C) stocks in soils. It is increasingly recognized, however, that such associations can be reversible and that reactive metal species might even facilitate the oxidation of...
Molybdenum is an essential component of biogeochemical cycling, most notably as a component of the nitrogenase enzyme used in biological nitrogen (N) fixation. While the important role of phosphorus (P) in limiting N fixation in ecosystems has been well documented, occurrence and prevalence of molybdenum (Mo) limitation is largely unknown....
High intensity sampling was undertaken to characterize the temporal and spatial
variability of oxidized nitrogen (NO3-N + NO2-N), ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N), total
dissolved phosphorus, total unfiltered phosphorus and orthophosphorus (PO4-P) from two
adjacent small streams in Western Oregon's Coast Range, Deer Creek (303 ha) and Flynn
Creek (203 ha). Deer Creek...
Subterranean clover was grown in nutrient solution and S
deficient Steiwer soil in the greenhouse. Plants were harvested at
15, 30, 45 and 60 days after emergence.
When subterranean clover was grown in nutrient solution significant
yield response to each increment of added sulfate (SO₄-S)
occurred in 15, 30, 45...
During the Spring of 1969, 47 surface soil samples (0 to 15 cm)
as well as foliage samples of subterranean clover were collected from
32 selected western Oregon pastures, in an effort to determine their
molybdenum status and to evaluate the use of anion exchange resin
method as a means...
