Sentence examples for nitrogen turnover from inspiring English sources

Stable isotopes are used extensively in all areas of ecology: in studying metabolic processes, to monitor nitrogen turnover in soil, to look at pollution in rainwater, to trace elements through ecosystems, etc.

It is involved in nitrogen turnover and in crop fertilization, as well as in human and animal pathologies.

Niklińska et al. (1999) state that it is difficult to make reasonable predictions on changes of nitrogen turnover under climate change.

Both the nitrogen quantity in circulation and the mean nitrogen turnover rate determine the nitrification and de-nitrification rates (besides, of course, the prevailing site characteristics such as waterlogging or temperature), which are crucial for the quantity of nitrous oxide produced as a leaking by-product.

Seminoff et al. [53] estimated that nitrogen turnover rate in plasma of freshwater turtles, Trachemys scripta, was 142 d increasing linearly, with a half-life (the time in which half of the stable isotopes were exchanged in the tissue) of 35.6 days.

With regard to the importance of nitrogen turnover for soil quality, presence of imidacloprid in soils may also affect the nontarget microorganisms responsible for these processes.

We compared plant community composition, soil chemical and microbial community composition, potential soil respiration and nitrogen (N) turnover rates between invaded and restored plots in inland and coastal grasslands.

The principal metabolic effects of the hormone in humans are retention of nitrogen and increased turnover of calcium, resulting in increases both in intestinal calcium absorption and in urinary calcium excretion.

Furthermore, under nitrogen limitation, the turnover rate of most metabolites in strain JSC4 decreased, suggesting that under nitrogen depletion, more energy is required for lipid synthesis, thus restricting the rate of carbon flow.

In this study, diet-tissue discrimination factors (DTDFs) and carbon and nitrogen stable isotope turnover rates were estimated for plasma, red blood cells (RBCs), and muscle obtained from broad-snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris).

In this study, I experimentally quantified diet-tissue discrimination factors (DTDFs) and carbon and nitrogen stable isotope turnover rates in plasma, red blood cells (RBCs), and muscle obtained from broad-snouted caimans (Caiman latirostris).
