Urea amendments to soil were not inhibitory to the growth of native N‐fixing plants at lower N application rates; two species responded positively to combinations of N, P and lime. Phosphate enrichment enhanced nodulation in N‐fixers, but nitrogen inhibited nodulation, reduced soil pH and ...
NON-NATIVE PLANTS CAN BE HEALTHY & ADAPTIVE: Plenty of non-native plants grow well with zero fertilizer inputs. Nitrogen fixing plants like goumis grow quite well in sub-standard soil. In drought stricken areas, there are non-native Mediterranean plants like lavender, thyme, sage and oregano ...
1Companion Plants such as “Springbank Clover” and “Broadleaf Lupine” are planted alongside vegetables as a nitrogen-fixing groundcover to improve soil condition. 2The wetland plants “Cattail” and “Indian Potato” are used in a backyard rain-garden pond to create an important habitat for...
Plant growth on tailings was limited by a lack of available nitrogen (N) and high alkalinity (pH >9), and seedling growth and development was positively associated with seed N concentration. Calcicole species and species from N2-fixing and cluster root-producing strategies performed better on ...

nitrogen (N) and high alkalinity (pH >9), and seedling growth and development was positively associated with seed N concentration. Calcicole species and species from N2-fixing and cluster root-producing strategies performed better on tailings than calcifuge species and species without specialised ...
(HCN) production, catalase reaction, KOH test (Bacillusspp.), IAA and siderophore production. Ammonia (NH3) production is important feature of PGPR, which indirectly enhances the plant growth57. It accumulates and supply nitrogen to their host plants and promotes plant growth58. Various studies ...
However, this occurred only in high-nutrient conditions; there were no differences between these groups for low nutrient conditions, and nitrogen-fixing plant species tended to dominate over other plant groups [10]. Thus, functional groups such as C3 and N-fixing plants that have the ability to...
Young plants of woody legumes along studied transects were excavated. The patterns of nodulation and nodule morphology were recorded and the nitrogen fixing ability was tested by acetylene-reduction-assay. Twenty-eight species in 16 genera were examined, of which 20 species were nodulating and ...
ecologically similar native plants were highly variable, suggesting that stochastic processes, such as dispersal, had a stronger influence on the phyllosphere microbiomes of those non-mānuka plants compared to the phyllosphere microbiome of mānuka. Furthermore, the distribution of phyllosphere taxa among...
