Sentence examples for soil fixation from inspiring English sources

However, these links are quite weak and do not lead to a significant protection of NH4 + or K+ against leaching or soil fixation [38].

Other studies showed that these humic metal phosphate complexes prevented phosphate soil fixation and provided available P to different plant species [46].

The majority of soluble inorganic P, however, is rapidly immobilized by soil fixation and becomes unavailable for plant uptake, leading to low P-use efficiency and potentially excess P (Kochian 2012).

The main interest of compound fertilizers based on these types of complexes is that their potential soil fixation (P retrogradation) and leaching are very low due to their low water solubility, while they are able to provide available P for plants [46, 47].

As for Cu and Zn plant nutrition, it has been well established that both Zn and Cu deficiencies can be developed in plants cultivated in both alkaline calcareous soils (precipitation of Cu hydroxides and Cu, Zn carbonates; clay fixation) and acidic soils (fixation in poorly humified organic matter, clays and Fe oxides) [23].

iPSBs thus play an essential role in releasing P from soil-fixation systems and in preserving enough free phosphate in the rhizosphere for plant uptake and growth.

This research was designed to evaluate the magnitude of nitrogenase activity of mangrove soils in a high anthropogenic N-loading environment and the way in which soil N2 fixation in mangrove forest may be related to organic carbon and salinity.

Although Si does not influence P accessibility inside the soil, the fixation capacity of P is not affected by the concentration of silicic acid in the soil [ 116].

Positive effects of tree diversity on above-ground productivity are certainly not an universal pattern, however [ 61, 66], and above-ground biomass production and soil carbon fixation may also respond differently to tree diversity in plantation forests [ 67].

Once established, it is suspected that the black sheoak's above/belowground ecological behaviour (i.e., relating to its leaf-litter allelopathy and potential for soil-nitrogen fixation) further exacerbated its mono-dominant distribution by inhibiting the development of other native species.

To explore this relationship, we took two golf courses in Beijing (a links course and a parkland course) to develop an assessment framework and present estimates of economic values of net ecosystem services, in aspects of ecosystem goods, carbon fixation, soil retention, flood storage, recreation, water consumption and nonpoint-source pollution.
