The pH of a soil has a dramatic impact on nutrient availability to plants.
"The most critical thing for the embryo is that it engages in a growth trajectory that is appropriate for its nutrient availability," Fleming said.
The loss of dogwoods from lower elevation forests could have a damaging effect on soil acidification, nutrient availability and numerous ecological relationships, Dr. Jenkins wrote.
"The way I understand things now," Fleming said, as Barker listened intently, "is that the embryo is having a kind of dialogue with its mother about nutrient availability.
Organic fertilizers beneficially affect soil structure and nutrient availability.
We assessed nutrient availability and natural vegetation recovery.
Yield reductions were ascribed to alterations in plant nutrient availability.
The dysfunctional micro-landscapes had the lowest nutrient availability.
Anthropogenic impacts and associated climate change are anticipated to change nutrient availability in wetlands.
To couple nutrient availability to cell size regulation, eukaryotic organisms rely on signaling pathways that concomitantly sense environmental nutrient availability and control downstream processes required for growth.
Moreover, information on the soil nutrient availability (primarily N, P) in such ecosystems is rare.
