Sentence examples for plant decay from inspiring English sources

However, higher boron levels accelerate plant decay and expiration.

Species with high plant decay potential belonging to Longidoridae, Heteroderidae, Hoplolaimidae, Meloidogynidae, Paratylenchidae and Pratylenchidae are present in the argan forest.

Humic substances are the organic products of plant decay, which are also responsible for the brown colour of some soils and for the tealike colour of some swamp and lake waters.

We suggested that during the dry period, plant decay and microbial cells death lead to release and accumulation of labile P in the soil, the rainfall wetting the soil, permitting vegetation growth.

One of the signs of eutrophication is dense algal blooms that cause high turbidity in aquatic systems, decreasing dissolved oxygen, and increasing hypoxia conditions in the deeper parts of water bodies because of plant decay in sediments.

A big wetland, like the Everglades, with restored water levels and gradually accumulating muck from plant decay, which will also store carbon and help restore the climate.

When the plant dies, some of the carbon goes back into the atmosphere, but some is also released into the soil as the dead plant decays.

Environmentalists worry that such antibiotic resistance might somehow be passed on to bacteria when the plant decays or is digested, making the bacteria more intractable.

We note that forests of kelp and other macroalgae also constitute a major coastal habitat, particularly at temperate latitudes, but they are excluded from this study because they are essentially ephemeral in their CCS capacity; i.e., carbon captured in their tissue is released as the plant decays or dies, with none of it stored below-ground since the plants possess no root structure.

Also, it produces microsclerotia in the host as the infected tissues senesce, which are released into the soil as the plant decays and are the primary inoculum of V. dahliae in the soil for subsequent infection.

Creating biochar actually reduces CO2 in the atmosphere because the process takes a theoretically carbon-neutral process of naturally decaying organic matter and turns it carbon-negative: When plants decay, they emit CO2, which other plants eventually absorb, and the cycle continues.
