Movement of species outside their range of distribution could be a strategy for conservation purposes, but before implementation, it is necessary to evaluate plants responses to the conditions that they will experience in new locations. We evaluated the effect of potassium fertilisation to enhance
Cesium is an element that belongs to the same group as K, and is known to show similar behaviour to that of K in plants. In this study, we conducted a serial leaching test for 120 h to compare the leaching characteristics of dissolved 137Cs and K in forest litter, obtained from Japanese
Seedlings of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) and western red cedar (Thuja plicata J. Donn ex D. Don) were grown at high (250 mg l(-1)) and low (20 mg l(-1)) nitrogen (N) supply for a year. Before the second growing season, half of the seedlings in each nutrient treatment were
Radiocesium (137Cs) activity concentrations, mainly derived from the Fukushima accident of March 2011, were measured in green foliar parts without separation by age (bulk green foliar parts; GL) and litterfall (LF) of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) from 2011 to 2015. In all samples, 137Cs
The activity concentrations of radiocesium (137Cs) in wild mushrooms are reported to vary according to species, genus or ecological types. In addition, the concentration fluctuates among the same species collected within the same area. Therefore, we investigated whether the
A chamber study was conducted to evaluate the growth response and leaf nitrogen (N) status of four plant species exposed to continuous ammonia (NH3) for 12 weeks (wk). This was intended to evaluate appropriate plant species that could be used to trap discharged NH3 from the exhaust fans in poultry
Streptomyces spp. perform vital roles in natural and agricultural soil ecosystems including in decomposition and nutrient cycling, promotion of plant growth and fitness, and plant disease suppression. Streptomyces densities can vary across the landscape, and inhibitory phenotypes are often a result
