Development of this targeted multi-tissue microfluidic array paves the way for the rapid evaluation of regulatory pathways in response to alternative feeding strategies, dietary formulations, and supplementation, as well as environmental and management effects for improving channel catfish culture and validates a cost-effective, dynamic, gene expression platform for use with other cultured fishes.
Here, we present 21 years of stand dynamics based on vegetation surveys conducted in 1992, 2000, and 2013 in two research plots (control and managed) at KMSP in relation to a reference forest to evaluate management effects and restoration success.
Management effects were found to strongly depend on feeding group.
Residue management effects on soil fertility and seedling damage by bean stem maggots (Ophiomyia spp).
Agricultural management effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) can be significant, but are often relatively small compared with the total SOC pool and its field scale variability.
For approximately 43% of these grounds it appears that management effects might be hampered by the aforementioned constraints.
However, the high variability of these systems make physiographical and management effects hard to disentangle and quantify.
Successful multi-use planning for forested landscapes requires an understanding of timber management effects on wildlife species.
Our review includes incidental management effects, such as soil compaction, and natural sources of variability, such as topography.
Spatial and temporal variability often overshadows specific management effects, and several authors have recognized this in their analyses and interpretations.
Generally, a sound understanding of land use and management effects on soil properties provides an opportunity to evaluate sustainability of land use systems (Woldeamlak 2003).
