Sentences with phrase «as microorganisms in the soil»

As microorganisms in the soil break down the organic material into an inorganic soluble form, a slow release of nutrients is provided over a longer period of time.

Not exact matches

Organic matter does this either by «gluing» soil particles together or creating favorable living conditions for soil microorganisms, which in turn can «glue» soil particles together through production of various organic compounds such as glomalin or by the action of fungal hyphae (Sylvia et al., 2005).

Trees of such forests yield a continuous supply of stray litter such as leaves, needles, roots or brushwood, and maintain a constant cool «forest climate,» even during hot summers, which in turn slows down humus degradation by soil microorganisms.

The remaining soil organic matter is not — as is frequently the case with forest soil — mostly present as «forest floor» in the surface layer, but lies deeper underground where it is better protected from humus - degrading microorganisms.

Organic practitioners regard the farm as a macroorganism in which all the parts — the soil minerals, organic matter, microorganisms, insects, plants, animals, and humans — interact to create a coherent and stable whole.

When the researchers simulated a second effect of climate change in addition to warming, namely drought, the results were even the opposite as expected: The soil animals ate less, and also the microorganisms living in the soil showed a decline in respiration — an indication that they also consumed less food.

Competition between nonautochtonous (in this case pathogenic) and autochtonous bacterial populations (typical soil microorganisms) as they pass through a planted soil filter diminishes the survivability of pathogenic bacteria.

Much the same happens in forest soils, which absorb carbon from trees and release CO2 as microorganisms break down plant matter.

Later, as a young microbial ecologist at Stockholm University in Sweden, she started to catalog the microorganisms she collected during soil sampling trips, deciphering their genetic code so she could understand both their internal workings and how they fit into their underground habitat.

Sept. 26, 2017 - A new Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) initiative to study how the soil microbiome (microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria, microfauna and viruses) controls the mechanisms that regulate organic matter stabilization in soil can move forward after the Department of Energy's (DOE)...

Because AOB are a microorganism abundant in lakes, rivers, and soil, it suggests to me that we should start embracing more earth - friendly activities, such as gardening, growing indoor plants, camping, and even owning a dog (because they like to roll in the mud!).
