Sentence examples for nutrient reservoirs from inspiring English sources

In this section, however, it is worth pointing out how they illustrate the complex, integrated nature of a soil's physical, chemical, and biological behaviour: soil peds and pore spaces provide microniches for the action of carbon- and nitrogen-cycling organisms, soil humus provides the nutrient reservoirs, and soil biomass provides the chemical pathways for cycling.

Epiphytic tank bromeliads are important ecosystem engineers because they form phytotelmata that create habitat, increase species richness and abundance, create water sources and nutrient reservoirs in the canopy, and collect and redirect nutrients in forest ecosystems.

BOHs generally had greater amino acid concentrations than the surrounding mineral horizons in both successional stages, but amino acid concentrations in successive BOHs declined with depth in the soil profile, suggesting that although BOHs do remain as biological hot spots and potential nutrient reservoirs as far down as 60 cm depth, their importance declines over time.

In addition, refuse dumps also provide important nutrient reservoirs for surrounding plant and animal communities [17] [19].

The number of expressed prolamins including the avenin-like and gliadin-like prolamins is much lower compared to wheat and barley, where prolamins serve as the main nutrient reservoirs in the seed (Hands and Drea 2012).

The genes Lsp2 and Lsp1beta, which encode nutrient reservoirs, are again among the most strongly repressed genes in head tissues of mated females (Table 3), as are takeout (to; 2.86 FC; FDR rank 7), and Odorant binding proteins 99a (Obp99a; 4.02 FC; FDR rank 9) and Obp99b (9.09 FC; FDR rank 17; Table 3).

Among the 44 predicted genes, 6 were categorized under the term "nutrient reservoir activity (GO 0045735)".

Therefore, there is a slight but measurable fractionation between the larch tree and the nutrient reservoir (mineral or peat soil).

The role of CWD as a possible nutrient reservoir depends on the amount of CWD (m3∙ha− 1) and on tree species.

Although patatin-like protein was not classified under the Gene Ontology term "nutrient reservoir activity (GO 0045735)", it contained the GCN4 motif and was determined to be one of the direct target genes of OsSMF1 (Table 1, Fig. 6).

Furthermore, it has been found that major functional categories of up-regulated genes in UM included metallochaperone activity, nutrient reservoir activity, and protein tag, which indicated that occurrences of UM or metastatic propensity is correlated with increased synthesis of certain proteins.
