Types of Nutrient Cycles 1. Carbon cycle: Carbon is considered one of the main constituents of all living organisms. It is present as methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) Carbon is exchanged continuously by the process of respiration and photosynthesis in between living organisms and nonliving ...
The scale of observation is the cycles in the soil-plant-animal system on or relevant to a field or watershed level as well as inputs from or losses to the anthroposphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere. Studies should thus consider the wider system in the examination of cycling and fluxes in ...
transforming pristine forests through deforestation [1,2]. and the expansion of intensive agriculture [2,3]. The often-unregulated conversion of tropical forests across continents not only alters their biodiversity and structure due to the loss of biomass, thereby disrupting biotic interactions among ...
Owing to their broad geographical ranges, long-distance migrations and complex life-cycles, Pacific salmon are vulnerable to multiple anthropogenic and environmental pressures that have altered their numerical abundances, relative abundances among species and body sizes8,19,26. Recent work to construct ti...
Under a Creative Commons license open accessAbstract Allochthonous inputs often link nutrient cycles between different ecosystems as nitrogen (N) that originates in one ecosystem is transferred to another. Mobile animals such as birds and fish can translocate nutrients between locations. Consequently, an...

We first tested if Vaha has a role in ILP2 gene expression by analyzing its transcript level during the fasting (16 h) / refeeding (1 h) paradigm. qPCR analysis indicated that ILP2 levels were not significantly different in the vaha mutants compared to control under these conditions (...
Modeling these cycles requires the handling of stoichiometric reactions and the tracking of relative rates of production and consumption of compounds, and is addressed herein. Flux-Balance Analysis (FBA) methods can also be used to predict whether a given nutrient set supports growth. However, to ...
Contributing to the cycles leading to soil health are soil moisture content (H2O), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphate (P), and the acidic/alkaline (pH) balance as well as the influence of existing micronutrients in the soil. Other mineral elements required for plant growth include macronutr...
Dev. (2019) 39: 11 Page 17 of 21 11 Further investigations are needed to assess the effects of tree residues on rubber plantation functioning considering succes- sive replanting cycles and the "zero-burning" practice driven by changes in legislation. Investigations are also needed to assess to ...
