The germinated seeds were transferred into pots containing nutrients, soil and vermiculite (1 1).
There are mainly positive or no effects on soil nutrients, soil carbon and soil water content.
The response of grasslands to climate change is complex as it implies interactions with water availability, nutrients, soil vegetation and management intensity [13].
The available nutrients, soil, land use history, species composition and stand age are also responsible for the remaining variations (Powers et al. 2009).
Moreover, by promoting intensive flows of water and nutrients, soil macropores have been recognized as a food source for soil microflora and fauna (Angers and Caron [1998]).
Further studies are needed to identify which are the primary underlying mechanisms (e.g. temperature, wind, soil nutrients, soil moisture availability) defining change in forest structure across elevation.
Geranium is a nearly a 9 months' crop; it provides enough time for crop residue turnover, thus maintaining soil quality in terms of nutrients, soil respiration, microbial biomass, and microbial activity in the soil.
These results indicated that A. bisporus residues return could positively affect soil nutrients, soil enzymatic activities, N use efficiency and crop yields as organic manure in a paddy soil.
