As members of the legume family (Fabaceae), these plants could restore nitrogen to the soil while also providing the protein so badly needed in the diet of many Southerners.
By rotating cotton (which depleted the soil of vital nitrogen) with peanuts and other legumes (which restored nitrogen), crop production radically increased.
After World War I Mościcki served the new Polish state by restoring synthetic nitrogen production at Królewska Huta (now Chorzów), Upper Silesia, at a plant that had been stripped by the Germans.
Dr Lapointe adds that, because corals thrive only in waters where nutrient levels are low, restoring freshwater rich in nitrogen will do more damage to the reef.It is a plausible theory.
Supplementation with combined nitrogen restored normal growth habits in eight of the Fix- mutants, indicating specific defects in the ability to establish appropriate conditions for nitrogen fixation.
During World War II, androgens were given to victims of starvation to help restore a positive nitrogen balance typical for anabolic substances.
This study first presents a tool to identify the most suitable areas for the restoration of surface flow wetlands for water quality improvement in a given catchment and secondly compares three different mathematical equations in order to quantify the effect of nitrogen retention when restoring the previously selected, most suitable wetland sites.
Hypoxia won't be eliminated with technological fixes reducing nitrogen at New York City sewage treatment plants ("Restoring the Sound," editorial, Jan . 15.
In this experiment in Inner Mongolian steppe, nitrogen limitation on production occurred when precipitation was similar to the long-term average year (NP in 2008) or even in a lower precipitation year with good precipitation distribution (2007, Figure 1 and 2B), indicating the possibility that nitrogen fertilizer could serve as a tool for restoring degraded grasslands in that region.
A field trial in the Sonoran Desert which exposed the roots of different species of tree to rhizobacteria and the nitrogen fixing bacterium Azospirillum brasilense with the aim of restoring degraded lands was only partially successful.
