    Notes: Abstract A glasshouse experiment was conducted to examine the comparative growth and P uptake response following P fertilizer application in lupins (Lupinus angustifolius L. cv. Chittick) and chickpeas (Cicer arietinum cv. Tyson) compared to wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Sunstar). Measurements of dry matter, phosphorus uptake and nodule numbers were made at 50 and 100 days after sowing. At the 50 day harvest, the two legume crops produced less dry matter and accumulated less plant P than wheat but no such species interactions were present at the 100 day harvest. Chickpeas showed strong positive responses in nodule numbers with increasing rates of P fertilizer while such effects were less and more variable with lupins.

    Notes: Abstract Despite decreasing nutrient loading of Lake Constance over the past few years, annual sedimentation rates of dry matter remained nearly constant at a level of about 1000 gm−2y−1. The phosphorus content in settling material varied between 0.13 and 0.22% of dry weight. Phosphorus was transported to the lake bottom mainly by POM and by coprecipitation with authigenically formed calcite (estimated from results of laboratory studies). Adsorption to sinking particles of allochthonous origin was of minor importance. The effect of a self-cleaning mechanism is discussed with regard to continuously declining contents of dissolved phosphorus in Lake Constance since 1981, due to external sanitation measures in the drainage area.

    Statistical models for the estimation of net phosphorus sedimentation in lakes (1989)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The empirical adequacy of four phosphorus mass-balance models is evaluated with respect to how the prediction error variance of the corresponding net sedimentation parameters is propagated in the steadystate equations. Using the criterion of minimum propagation error variance (PEV), different groups of lakes can be distinguished for which different empirical equations are used to predict net phosphorus sedimentation. The classification reduced prediction error significantly and also reflected different patterns of sedimentation. Application of this criterion to time-series of individual lakes shows that it is possible to determine a priori whether net annual sedimentation will be better correlated to the annual loading or to the lake content. The correlations depended also on the load/lake content ratio, suggesting that net sedimentation is best viewed as the sum of the partial sedimentation of the load and of the partial sedimentation of the lake content. On average, 25% of the load and 18% of the lake content are sedimented annually. Viewing net phosphorus sedimentation as a function of both the load and the lake content can also explain and predict the well-known cross-sectional correlation between phosphorus retention and water residence time.

    Notes: Summary This paper reports part of a study to determine why damaging outbreaks of the pine beauty moth, Panolis flammea (D & S) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), in Scotland are frequent on lodgepole pine but do not occur on Scots pine, and why outbreaks on lodgepole pine are mainly confined to trees growing in deep unflushed peat. The elongation of shoots and the growth of needles of Scots pine occurred later in the season than did those of lodgepole pine. The foliage of Scots pine generally had a higher level of nitrogen, and consistently had a higher level of phosporus, but had a consistently lower level of tannins than that of lodgepole pine during the period when the larvae were feeding each year. The nitrogen content of the foliage of lodgepole pine growing in an iron pan soil was generally higher than that of lodgepole pine growing in deep peat during the same period but there were no general differences in the phosphorus or tannin contents of lodgepole pine in the 2 soil types. These findings suggest that Scots pine is a more suitable host plant than lodgepole pine and that the foliage of lodgepole pine growing in deep peat is not more suitable than lodgepole pine growing in an iron pan soil. On the basis of the chemical analyses used in this study, it is concluded that the abundance of pine beauty moth in Scotland is not strongly influenced by the nutritional suitability of its host plants.

    Physiological determinants of growth rate in response to phosphorus supply in wild and cultivated Hordeum species (1989)

    Notes: Summary Under favorable nutrition, accessions of the weedy barleygrass (Hordeum leporinum and H. glaucum) had a higher relative growth rate (RGR) than did accessions of cultivated barley (H. vulgare) or its wild progenitor (H. spontaneum). RGR was not positively correlated with the presumed level of soil fertility at the collection site of an accession either within or among species. RGR was reduced more strongly by low-P supply in the progenitor than in the crop or weed, indicating that selection of cultivars to grow in fertile soils had not reduced their potential to grow effectively under low-P conditions. Seed and embryo masses were more important than RGR in determining plant size. Relative differences among assessions in plant size declined with time, because (1) accessions with small seeds had a higher RGR, and (2) RGR of large-seeded accessions declined with time. Absolute growth rate correlated positively with leaf area and negatively with photosynthetic rate per unit leaf area. Under favorable nutrition, maximum photosynthetic rate correlated negatively with leaf length and therefore was higher in the weeds than in the crop or progenitor accessions. P absorption potential did not differ consistently among species but generally increased in response to P stress. Cultivars produced a few tall tillers, whereas weeds and progenitors produced many small tillers. The cultivar had a larger proportion of reproductive tillers, allocated a larger proportion of biomass to grain, and produced larger grains than did the weedy accession. By contrast, the weed began maturing seeds sooner, produced more reproductive tillers, and produced more grains per car and per plant than did the cultivar. The study suggests two major conclusions: (1) A low RGR is not an adaptation to low P supply in annual Hordeum species. (2) Seed size is the major determinant of early plant size between accessions in these Hordeum species under favorable nutrition. However, large seed size indirectly results in a low RGR because of the inverse relationship between plant size and RGR and results in a low photosynthetic rate because of the inverse relationship between leaf size and photosynthesis.

    Notes: Abstract Both harvest removal and leaching losses can deplete nutrient capital in forests, but their combined long-term effects have not been assessed previously. We estimated changes in total soil and biomass N, Ca, K, Mg, and P over 120 years from published data for a spruce-fir site in Maine, two northern hardwood sites in New Hampshire, central hardwood sites in Connecticut and Tennessee, and a loblolly pine site in Tennessee. For N, atmospheric inputs counterbalance the outputs, and there is little long-term change on most sites. For K, Mg, and P, the total pool may decrease by 2%–10% in 120 years depending on site and harvest intensity. For Ca, net leaching loss is 4–16 kg/ha/yr in mature forests, and whole-tree harvest removes 200–1100 kg/ha. Such leaching loss and harvest removal could reduce total soil and biomass Ca by 20%–60% in only 120 years. We estimated unmeasured Ca inputs from rock breakdown, root-zone deepening, and dry deposition; these should not be expected to make up the Ca deficit. Acid precipitation may be the cause of current high leaching of Ca. Although Ca deficiency does not generally occur now in acid forest soils, it seems likely if anthropogenic leaching and intensive harvest removal continue.

    Notes: Summary The subcellular distribution of the inorganic elements calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) was studied in the first-formed dentin matrix during initial mineralization in neonatal rat molars. This most peripheral matrix region is comprised of a proteoglycan-rich ground substance, interwoven by a collagenous network, matrix vesicles, aperiodic fibrils derived from the dental basal lamina, and apical odontoblastic cell processes. All matrix components may possibly serve as templets for mineral deposition during initial calcification of first-formed mantle dentin and predentin. By means of the very sensitive ESI-analysis we studied the subcellular localization of Ca and P and their possible association with distinct organic extracellular matrix components and odontoblasts. Ca-signals were found in the ground substance, at striated collagen fibrils and plasma membranes of odontoblasts in the cuspal early matrix region, but occurred only sparsely in the ground substance of the more distal matrix region where odontoblast processes attach to aperiodic fibrils of the dental basal lamina. Ca was generally absent in matrix vesicles. In contrast, P-signals were found in matrix vesicles, at aperiodic fibrils and at the plasma membranes of odontoblasts. Ca and P co-localized at striated collagen fibrils (type I or II). These results suggest that striated collagen fibrils might serve as primary deposition sites for calcium phosphate during early biological calcification of organic extracellular macromolecules.

    Environmental modulation of calcium and phosphorus metabolism in embryonic snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) (1989)

    Notes: Summary Eggs of common snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) were incubated on wet (−150 kPa water potential) and dry (−950 kPa) substrates in a laboratory study assessing the effects of the hydric environment on patterns of mobilization of calcium and phosphorus by developing embryos. We found that embryos developing in wet environments withdrew nutrients from their yolk faster, grew more rapidly, and incubated longer than embryos exposed to dry environments. Turtles developing in both environments absorbed calcium from the yolk at similar rates and depleted the yolk of almost its entire reserve of calcium prior to hatching. Calcium withdrawn from the yolk was supplemented with calcium mobilized from the eggshell, but embryos in wet environments obtained substantially more calcium from the eggshell than did those in dry settings. Embryos obtained all of the phosphorus used in skeletogenesis from the yolk, but those incubating in wet environments mobilized phosphorus from this compartment more rapidly than did those in dry settings. Exposing embryonic snapping turtles to wet environments apparently allows them to make more efficient use of the transitory source of calcium in the eggshell than is possible in dry environments. However, the residual yolk in hatchlings from both wet and dry environments contains too little calcium to support the growth of hard and soft tissues in neonates at rates similar to those characterizing the growth phase of development in embryogenesis.

    Notes: Summary Concentrations of phenamiphos ranging from 0 to 40 μrg/g soil were established in a typical Oxisol (Tropeptic Eutrustox), inoculated or uninoculated with Glomus aggregatum. The effect of the nematicide on the development of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) symbiosis was evaluated in the greenhouse using Leucaena leucocephala as an indicator host plant. Treatment of soil with phenamiphos did not have a significant influence on the development of mycorrhizal activity measured in terms of subleaflet phosphorus concentrations. Similarly, the nematicide did not have an adverse effect on the level of mycorrhizal colonization or on the P content of shoots, as determined at the time of harvest. However, shoot dry weight was adversely influenced by phenamiphos when the chemical was applied to the uninoculated soil at 20 μg/g soil or higher, and when it was applied to the inoculated soil at 40 μg/g soil. It is concluded that phenamiphos is not likely to influence the growth of Leucaena or its symbiotic association with VAM fungi if the concentrations applied do not exceed levels known to suppress nematodes.

    Notes: Summary The unidirectional ileal transport of calcium (Ca) and inorganic phosphorus (Pi) of rats was measured in vitro with the modified Ussing technique. Animal preparation included 5/6 nephrectomy and EHDP treatment. They were compared to controls as well as to 1,25 (OH)2D3 supplemented rats. The results show that the ileum is a secretory organ for Ca and Pi, the serosa to mucosa transport (Jsm) exceeds the mucosa to serosa transport (Jms). Ca and Pi transport in sm direction is 1,25 (OH)2D3 independent but exhibits a mutual strong correlation. Our observations together with published data are in favor of mainly paracellular, non electrogenic sm transport of both ions. However, the factor controlling sm transport of Ca and Pi remains unidentified. The mucosa to serosa transport (Jms) in the ileum is low for both ions. Ca ms is stimulated by 1,25 (OH)2D3, Pi ms is unchanged.

    Notes: Summary In a survey of 28 plant species of 6 major growth forms from Alaskan tundra, we found no consistent difference among growth forms in the chemical nature of stored reserves except for lichens and mosses (which stored C primarily as polysaccharides) and shrubs (which tended to store C more as sugars than as polysaccharides). Forbs and graminoids showed particularly great diversity in the chemical nature of stored reserves. In contrast, C, N, and P chemistry of leaves was strikingly similar among all species and growth forms. Concentrations of stored reserves of C, N, and P were highest and showed greatest seasonal fluctuations in forbs and graminoids but were relatively constant in evergreen shrubs. From this information, we draw three general conclusions: (1) the photosynthetic function of leaves strongly constrains leaf chemistry so that similar chemical composition is found in all species and growth forms: (2) the chemical nature of storage reserves is highly variable, both within and among growth forms; (3) the concentration and seasonal pattern of storage reserves are closely linked to growth-form and reflect growth-form differences in woodiness, phenology, and relative dependence upon concurrent uptake vs. storage in support of growth.

    Role of phosphorus and nitrogen in photosynthetic and whole plant carbon gain and nutrient use efficiency in eastern white pine (1988)

    Notes: Summary In white pine (Pinus strobus) seedlings grown in five forest soils from New York State, net photosynthetic capacity (Amax) plant-1 was correlated with total foliar N plant-1 (r 2=0.57), but was more highly correlated with total foliar P plant-1 (r 2=0.82). There was no relationship (r 2〈0.01) between Amax [g leaf]-1 and foliar N [g leaf]-1 for the pooled data set, but there was a significant (P〈0.001), but weak (r 2=0.20) positive relationship between Amax [g leaf]-1 and foliar P [g leaf]-1 across all soils. However, within two of the five soils leaf N concentration was a significant (P〈0.05) determinant of photosynthetic capacity. Due to differences in soil nutrient availabilities a large range in foliar P:N ratio (0.02–0.15) was observed, and the proportion of leaf P:N appeared to control Amax [g leaf N]-1. Whole plant nitrogen (NUE) and phosphorus (PUE) use efficiencies were well correlated with whole plant P:N ratio. In addition, NUE was well correlated with Amax [g leaf N]-1 and PUE was well correlated with Amax [g leaf P]-1. However, NUE was not well correlated with PUE, and Amax [g leaf N]-1 was not well correlated with Amax [g leaf P]-1. These results indicated that P and/or N limitations were important components of photosynthetic nutrient relations in white pine grown in these five soils and suggest that both P and N and their proportions should be considered in analyses of photosynthesis-nutrient relations.

    Eutrophication of Buttermilk Bay, a cape cod coastal embayment: Concentrations of nutrients and watershed nutrient budgets (1988)

    Notes: Abstract Nutrient concentrations in Buttermilk Bay, a coastal embayment on the northern end of Buzzards Bay, MA, are higher in the nearshore where salinities are lower. This pattern suggests that freshwater sources may contribute significantly to nutrient inputs into Buttermilk Bay. To evaluate the relative importance of the various sources we estimated inputs of nutrients by each major source into the watershed and into the bay itself. Septic systems contributed about 40% of the nitrogen and phosphorus entering the watershed, with precipitation and fertilizer use adding the remainder. Groundwater transported over 85% of the nitrogen and 75% of the phosphorus entering the bay. Most nutrients entering the watershed failed to reach the bay; uptake by forests, soils, denitrification, and adsorption intercepted two-thirds of the nitrogen and nine-tenths of the phosphorus that entered the watershed. The nutrients that did reach the bay most likely originated from subsoil injections into groundwater by septic tanks, plus some leaching of fertilizers. Buttermilk Bay water has relatively low nutrient concentrations, probably because of uptake of nutrients by macrophytes and because of relatively rapid tidal flushing. Annual budgets of nutrients entering the watershed showed a low nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio of 6, but passage of nutrients through the watershed raised N/P to 23, probably because of adsorption of PO4 during transit. The N/P ratio of water that leaves the watershed and presumably enters the bay is probably high enough to maintain active growth of nitrogenlimited coastal producers. There is a seasonal shift in N/P in the water column of Buttermilk Bay. N/P exceeded the 16∶1 Redfield ratio during midwinter; the remainder of the year N/P fell below 16∶1. This suggests that annual budgets do not provide sufficiently detailed data with which to interpret nutrient-limitation of producers. Further, some idea of water turnover is also needed to evaluate impact of loading rates. Urbanization of watersheds seems to increase loadings to nearshore environments, and to shift the nutrient loadings delivered to coastal waters to relatively high N-to-P ratios, potentially stimulating growth of nitrogen-limited primary producers.

    Notes: Abstract Mission silt loam, (coarse-silty, mixed frigid Andic Fragiochrepts) is a forest soil in the Pacific Northwest which has a weathered ash horizon derived from volcanic eruptions in the Cascade Mountain Range. The major production problem for this soil is P fixation due to the weathered volcanic ash. Alternatives to large additions of fertilizer P are considered important in management of this and related soils. The objective of this work was to study the infuence of organic amendments on soil pH and extractable P in Mission soil. Alfalfa, (Medicago sativa L.) mixed conifer bark or sawdust was added at 4.8% w/w soil as a surface or incorporated treatment. In incubation experiments, both extractable P and soil pH were significantly increased over time for both surface and incorporated amendments. The majority of P mineralized from surface applied alfalfa remained in the surface 0–2 cm of the soil regardless of incubation period. Conversely, a uniform increase in P occurred throughout the 18 cm soil depth when sawdust was surface applied. The change in extractable P with sawdust addition was equivalent to 61 mg P kg−1 soil as soluble inorganic material. Soil pH increased rapidly in proximity to surface applied alfalfa while bark and sawdust affected the soil increasingly with time regardless of placement.

    Notes: Abstract The biological turnover constant for phosphorus was determined in muscle and five other sections of bluegill. Bluegill of average weight 121 g were maintained in a large flowthrough system at 22°–16°C and fed worms, Eisenia foetida, at two feeding levels, ad lib. (which averaged 2.6 g/d per 100-g fish, wet weight), and 1.5 g/d per 100-g fish. The daily phosphorus intakes at the two levels per 100-g fish were 3.1 and 1.8 mg. The average phosphorus concentration was 2.4 mg/g in muscle and 15.4 mg/g in the whole fish. Worm food was spiked with P-32 at increasing daily increments to balance radioactive decay. The radioactive worms were fed daily to the bluegill during the P-32 accumulation period of 51 days. For the next 28 days of depuration, nonradioactive worms were fed. Sets of three bluegill were collected at approximately weekly intervals, sectioned and analyzed for P-32 and phosphorus. All data were reported as specific activity in tissue relative to specific activity in feed, with P-32 count rates corrected for its 14.3-day half life. Phosphorus turnover constants were obtained by three approaches: (1) from the relative specific activity measured near steady state; (2) by fitting an equation for a 1-compartment model to the accumulation and depuration data; and (3) by fitting an equation for a simplified 2-compartment model to the depuration data. The biological turnover constant calculated with all three approaches was 0.004 d−1 for phosphorus in muscle of bluegill fed ad lib.

    Notes: Abstract A series of water samples from Lake Kinneret was supplemented with 100 µM N (as NH4 or as NO3 and/or 10 µM orthophosphate-P. The yield of phytoplankton both as chlorophyll and in cell numbers of major species was determined after a two-week incubation. During these experiments, some of the algae present initially never multiplied (e.g. Peridinium and Peridiniopsis spp. Cryptomonas spp., Rhodomonas spp. and Crysochromulina parva); others e.g. Anomoeoneis exilis, Synedra sp., Chlamydomonas sp., Elakatothrix gelatinosa), undetected in the original sample, grew out during the incubation. Chlorophyte species (the majority of commonly observed forms in the lake) responded most readily to added nutrients. The results of these enrichment experiments were related to the long-term record of phytoplankton populations observed in the lake and suggest that through summer and fall, when ambient levels of both P and N are minimal, P was generally, but not always, the most limiting nutrient for algal growth. In the spring, after the decline of the Peridinium bloom, P appeared to be limiting the growth of Chlorophyta. Although most algal species grew equally well on NH4 or NO3, some species appeared to respond preferentially either to the former (Coelastrum, Chodatella) or to the latter (Chroococcus, Anomoeoneis) source of N.

    Phosphorus in soil, water and sediment: an overview (1988)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The geochemistry, availability and abundance of different forms of phosphorus in soil, water and sediments are reviewed. The present knowledge of phosphorus pathways in ecosystems and their regulation is discussed. In a drainage basin, anthropogenic phosphorus is brought into the system mainly as fertilizers and detergents. Sewer systems and outwash processes transfer the phosphorus from the terrestrial environment to the aquatic part of the ecosystem where an accumulation occurs in the sediments of the watercourse. A great part of the phosphates in soil is sorbed to soil particles or incorporated into soil organic matter. The release and export of phosphorus from uncultivated soil is a function of the geology and soil composition, but also of the air temperature, precipitation and the hydrological condition, pH etc. The solubility of phosphates is controlled by either sorption-desorption or precipitation-dissolution reactions depending on the environment in the soil or sediments. In soil and sediments with large amounts of iron and aluminium hydrous oxides, sorption-desorption reactions are largely responsible for determining the level of orthophosphate in the solution at equilibrium. Algal availability of phosphorus associated with soil-derived materials present in aquatic systems deserves more research. In addition, processes responsible for transport of phosphorus from cropland to aquatic systems and chemical and microbial transformations of phosphorus in lakes and streams deserve more attention.

    Notes: Summary Microbial respiration, microbial biomass and nutrient requirements of the microflora (C, N, P) were studied in the food substrate (soil taken from the upper 3 cm of the mineral soil of a beech wood on limestone), the burrow walls and the casts of the earthworm Aporrectodea caliginosa (Savigny). The passage of the soil through the gut caused an increase in soil microbial respiration of about 90% over a 4-week period. Microbial biomass was increased only in freshly deposited casts and decreased in aging faeces to a level about 10% lower than in soil. Microbial respiration of the burrow walls was only increased over a shorter period (about 2 weeks). The microflora of the soil and the burrow walls was limited by P, whereas in earthworm casts, microbial growth was limited by the amount of available C. In aging faeces the P requirement of the microflora increased and approached that of the soil. Immobilization of phosphate in earthworm casts is probably caused by mainly abiotic processes. C mineralization by soil microflora fertilized with glucose and P was limited by N, except in freshly deposited casts. Ammonium, not nitrate, was responsible for this process. N dynamics in earthworm casts are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Two experiments examined options for reducing the inputs of P and K fertilizers for hybrid squash (Cucurbita maxima L.) at Pukekohe, New Zealand. The first experiment examined the effects of elevating the NaHCO3-soluble P from 32 to 130 mg kg−1 and the exchangeable K from 140 to 350 mg kg−1 within strips from 0 to 0.75 m around rows of hybrid squash planted 1.5 m apart. From both P and K, crop yield increased as the width of the fertilized strip was increased up to 0.25 m, while wider fertilized strips had no further effect. These results followed similar effects on plant dry matter and tissue P or K concentration during early growth, and are explained in terms of the P and K accumulation by the crop, the decline during growth of the sensitivity of the crop to soil P and K fertility associated with declining rates of P and K uptake per unit length of root. Implications for fertilizer management for hybrid squash are also discussed. The second experiment compared the effects of partially acidulated phosphate rock and triple-superphosphate on soil P fertility, growth and yield of hybrid squash. Partially acidulated phosphate rock had smaller effects than those of triple-superphosphate on NaHCO3-soluble P levels in the soil, plant dry weight and tissue P concentration soon after emergence, and subsequently crop yield. On average, partially acidulated phosphate rock increased crop yield by about 70% of that following the application of the same quantity of P as triple-superphosphate. This lower effectiveness of partially acidulated phosphate rock for hybrid squash is explained in terms of its lower solubility and hence smaller effect on NaHCO3-soluble P in the soil during early growth, when the crop is most sensitive to soil P fertility.

    The increase in skin 7-dehydrocholesterol induced by an hypocholesterolemic agent is associated with elevated 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 plasma level (1987)

    Notes: Abstract Vitamin D3 is generated in skin by UV irradiation of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DEHC). Whether the 7-DEHC amount in skin affects vitamin D3 formation, and thereby the plasma level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25[OH]D3) is not known. In the present work we report on the influence on vitamin D and Ca metabolism of a new hypocholesterolemic agent, HCG-917 (0-2-[hydroxy-3-]N′-(2-chlorophenyl)-N-piperazinyl-1-[propyl]-4-chloro-benz-aldoxim-hydrochloride) which inhibits 7-DEHC reductase and thereby increases skin 7-DEHC. Rats were treated with HCG 917 (0.3 and 5.0 mg/kg, orally) for 13 days. HCG 917 caused a dose-dependent decrease in cholesterol and concomitant accumulation of 7-DEHC in plasma and skin. In skin, 7-DEHC was: control: 1.05±0.20; HCG 917, 0.3 mg/kg: 1.41±0.22; HCG 917, 5.0 mg/kg: 2.35±0.35 mg/g. At a dose of 0.3 mg/kg, HCG 917 had no significant influence on the plasma level of neither 25(OH)D3 nor 1,25(OH)2D3. However, at a dose of 5.0 mg/kg, HCG 917 induced a significant increase in plasma 25(OH)D3 (control: 36.2±2.2; HCG 917 5.0 mg/kg: 57.6±6.5 nmol/l) and a slight but not significant rise in 1,25(OH)2D3. Calcium balance studies indicated that HCG 917 did not influence intestinal Ca absorption nor urinary Ca excretion. At a dose of 5.0 mg/kg HCG 917 slightly induced a decrease in total plasma Ca. In conclusion, HCG 917 treatment can induce a significant rise in skin 7-DEHC with an increase in plasma 25(OH)D3. These results suggest that variation in the skin level of 7-DEHC can directly influence the cutaneous production of vitamin D3 and thereby the vitamin D status of the organism.

    Notes: Summary Aboveground growth, reproduction, and foliar nitrogen and phosphorus contents of two ericaceous shrub species were compared over two seasons in (a) an undisturbed shrub bog (pocosin), and (b) a factorial fertilization design in which three levels each of nitrogen and phosphorus were added in all possible combinations. One species, Zenobia pulverulenta, is deciduous whereas the other species, Lyonia lucida, is evergreen. In the nutrient-poor undisturbed pocosin the two species exhibited similar foliar nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and aboveground growth rates. Neither species flowered. In response to nutrient-addition Zenobia increased growth rates more than Lyonia. Foliar phosphorus concentrations of both species increased in response to enhanced phosphorus availability. in the first season neither species flowered in any treatment. In the second season Zenobia flowered only in the fertilized plots, with the most flowering in the high phosphorus treatments. I conclude that, by virtue of high growth rates and efficient use of nutrients and despite differences in leaf phenology and morphology, both Lyonia and Zenobia are successful in a competitive community under conditions of extremely low phosphorus availability. However, unlike Lyonia, Zenobia can take advantage of temporarily increased nutrient availability, which occurs following fire in the pocosin, to increase growth and reproduction.

    Notes: Summary Leaves were sampled in a successional, southern Appalachian forest to estimate autumn foliar nutrient dynamics. Resorption of N and P in a successional forest equaled, or exceeded, resorption estimates for a more mature control forest. Foliar nutrient leaching was not sufficient to account for changes in autumn leaf N, P, Ca and Mg concentrations. The resorption process conserves nutrients by reducing nutrient losses from leaching and litter-fall, thereby closing the nutrient cycle in successional forests. We hypothesize that rapid recovery of primary productivity early in forest regeneration is the result of maximum nutrient resorption of limiting nutrients. Implications of these results for successional nutrient cycling theory are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Six speices of shrubs and one large herb with contrasting life history patterns were used as bioassays of nutrient availability in a Costa Rican lowland rain forest soil. Growth responses of the herb (Phytolacca rivinoides, Phytolaccaceae) confirmed soil measurements indicating high availability of N and potentially limiting levels of P, K, Mg and Ca. Growth responses of the shrub species (Miconia spp., Melastomataceae and Piper spp., Piperaceae) to a complete nutrient fertilizer were generally less than that of Phytolacca. Lack of a strong shrub response to +P fertilization is probably due to mycorrhizal associations and slower growth rates of woody species. In general, increased growth did not occur at the expense of phenolic production in the leaves. The results emphasize that assessment of specific nutrient limitations to plant growth vary depending on species selected for the bioassay, even among species from the same community.

    Notes: Summary Twenty-five patients with radiological and clinical evidence of osteoporosis were studied. Nineteen patients received oral phosphorus at a dose of 1,000 mg/die for 10 days followed by salmon calcitonin (100 U MRC/die) for 20 days. Six patients received only oral calcium at a dose of 1,000 mg/die). In the first group, a significant increase in serum osteocalcin and parathyroid hormone, after administration of phosphorus and persisting after treatment with salmon calcitonin, was found. No variation in the controls was observed. In a later study, a significant increase in serum 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3), after receiving phosphorus and persisting after salmon calcitonin, was demonstrated. In accordance with the authors' results, phosphorus could be considered a useful activator of bone formation and this stimulus by parathyroid hormone was mediated. Finally, the positive effects of phosphorus on circulating 1,25(OH)2D3 must be considered for a good treatment protocol of osteoporosis.

    Notes: Summary Effects of calcium phosphate supply on plant dry matter and phosphorus concentrations of parts of jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) seedlings grown in a lateritic topsoil from the jarrah forest were examined in two glasshouse trials. Phosphorus deficiency depressed root and shoot dry weights and severely deficient leaves were smal and purple with prominent red major veins. Phosphorus deficiency severely reduced stem phosphorus levels (0.5% to 0.02%, experiment 1). Phosphorus concentrations were higher in bark than wood and the amount of phosphorus in the bark was sensitive to stem age and phosphate supply. Phosphorus adequate plants had bark phosphorus concentrations in the range 0.2–0.9% compared to 〈0.1% in deficient plants (experiment 2). Jarrah leaves accumulated dry matter up to 80 days after expansion and some leaves exported phosphorus during this period. Bark analysis may therefore be preferable to leaf analysis for detecting phosphorus deficiency in this species.

    Notes: Summary Leek plants were preinoculated with a mixed inoculum ofGlomus caledonium, Glomus fasciculatum andGlomus sp., and transplanted to Dazomet disinfected and untreated field plots of moderate P deficiency. Successive harvests were made until 99 days after transplanting. Preinoculated leeks attained marketable weights 25 days earlier than uninoculated leeks from untreated soil and their final dry matter yields were 5.7 and 1.5 times as high as those of uninoculated leeks from disinfected and untreated soil, respectively. Phosphorus concentration in preinoculated leeks remained highest for at least 22 and 75 days after transplanting in untreated and disinfected soil, respectively. Preinoculation had a similar, although smaller, influence on Cu and Zn concentrations. Infection levels produced by introduced and indigenous VA endophytes in leeks reached plateaus of 90% and 40%, respectively, 47 days after transplanting. It is concluded that VAM is essential to leeks grown in moderately P deficient soils, and the potential for inoculating seedlings in commercial leek production is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Two week old sorghum seedlings (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) were treated with ferulic acid added to the nutrient solution. Effects on tissue concentration of P, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, and Zn were evaluated after 3 and 6 days. Treatemnts of 0.25 mM ferulic acid approximated the growth inhibition threshold, and after 6 days 0.5 mM treated plants weighed less than controls. Both treatments reduced the P content of the roots and shoots at the 3- and 6-day harvests in three replicate experiments. Roots of treated plants at both harvests had a lower concentration of K and Mg. These reductions in P, K, and Mg were most extensive from the 0.5 mM ferulic acid regime. In some cases at both harvests, shoot K was lower and Mg was higher than control tissue. Ferulic acid effects at the 3-day harvest included an elevation of Ca and depression of Fe in shoots. Changes in nutrient content preceded measurable differences in plant weight. These data indicate that one mechanism of growth inhibition by this allelochemical may be an alteration of nutrient balance.

    Notes: Summary This study was carried out in order to assess the importance of storage procedures and time of sampling for the results of routine chemical analyses of forest soils. Humus and mineral soil samples were collected at five-week intervals during two growing seasons from a sample plot in a coniferous forest in northern Sweden. The samples were either air-dried (+35°C) or frozen (−20°C). After a few months they were analysed for ‘easily available’ and ‘relatively available’ phosphorus (P-AL and P-HCl) and potassium (K-AL and K-HCl), ammonium, nitrate and pH. In some cases there was a significant difference between the two sample treatments. In humus, the concentrations of P-AL and NH4-N were 51% and 76% higher in samples which had been frozen than in those which had been air-dried while the concentrations of NO3-N were 75% higher. in air-dried than in frozen samples. In mineral soil samples, 21–64% higher concentrations of K-AL were found in frozen samples compared to air-dried and 80–427% higher concentrations of NO3-N in air-dried than in frozen samples. No distinct seasonal variations were found for any of the parameters.

    Notes: In contrast to the numerous known and often technically important mono- and diphosphorus compounds with phosphorus in its maximum oxidation state, polyphosphorus compounds led only a shadowy existence up to about twenty years ago. One of the reasons for this was the properties of such compounds, which made their handling and structural characterization difficult. This problem was solved by the development of modern preparative techniques and, especially, by the further methodological development of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Thus, a fascinating new branch of phosphorus chemistry has been opened up in recent years. The first comprehensive review on this subject was published five years ago. Since then, research on this “element-near” chemistry of phosphorus has produced further impressive advances with the result that a surprisingly large variety of compounds with skeletons consisting of chains or rings of phosphorus atoms is known today. However, the recent observation of the spontaneous formation of the “aromatic” pentaphosphacyclopentadienide ion, P5-, during the synthesis of phosphorus-richer polyphosphides from phosphorus-poorer compounds in solution and the discovery of the inversion of phosphorus in tetra- and pentacyclic organophosphanes demonstrate that this field is still capable of producing surprises.

    Notes: Summary It is known that nitrogen and phosphorus can be transferred from one living plant to another, but it is not known whether the amounts transferred are large enough to influence the growth of the species in the field. Two Lolium perenne plants were grown per pot of unfertilized soil. During 25 weeks one plant (the ‘donor’) in each pot was fed nutrients through leaves; donors in control pots received only water. The ‘receiver’ plants which shared a pot with the nutrient-fed donors increased significantly, compared with the controls, in leaf number and concentration of phosphorus, though not in concentration of nitrogen, potassium, calcium or magnesium. The rate of phosphorus transfer agreed well with previous results using 32P. The results are compared with rates of phosphorus uptake in the field. It is concluded that nutrient transfer could have an influence on the balance between coexisting species in the field, but probably the influence will be small.

    Notes: Abstract The distributions of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in a moss community-soil system developed on a naked region in Rundvågskollane (69050'S, 39009'E), East Antarctica, were investigated in order to analyze the flow of matter in an Antarctic terrestrial ecosystem. 1) The moss community was formed from many moss blocks of different sizes and was composed ofBryum pseudotriquetrum (Hedw.) Gaertn., Meyer et Scherb.,Ceratodon purpureus (Hedw.) Brid. andGrimmia lawiana J. H. Willis. The surface of the community was covered with cyanobacteria. 2) It was estimated that nitrogen fixed by cyanobacteria flowed from these organisms to the moss and that little nitrogen was transported within the moss body. 3) A large amount of phosphorus existed in the soil. The moss community had a high phosphorus content although the amount itself was relatively little due to the small phytomass. 4) It seems that absorption of phosphorus from soil is difficult for moss, because of the paucity of water necessary for the movement of phosphorus and the suppressed growth of moss due to the arid conditions.

    Notes: Abstract All living trees (≥30 cm gbh) were enumerated in 104 80×80 m plots arranged along four transects in the Douala-Edea Forest Reserve Cameroun, a system of low-lying ancient coastal sand dunes interspersed by numerous streams and swamps. The extent of permanent and seasonal swamps was recorded for each plot. Two hundred thirty taxa were recognized of which 63% were identified to species. Mean tree density was 376 ha−1, basal area 31.0 m2 ha−1 and number of species per plot 39. The Olacaceae were the most abundant family in terms of basal area, but the Euphorbiaceae the most frequently represented. The most abundant species wasCoula edulis (Olacaceae). Twenty-two plots had most of their area permanently or seasonally swamped. Percentage sand, silt and clay ranged between 32–100, 0–64, 0–21% respectively. The ranges for other variables recorded were: pH (2.7–5.4), organic carbon (1.5–12.4%), available phosphorus (7–90 ppm) and potassium (28–188 ppm), and nitrogen (ammonium 4–40 ppm, nitrate 1–12 ppm). Classification of the plots on the basis of six soil variables provided three large distinct groups: swamp plots and non-swamp plots, the latter divided into plots of low and high available soil phosphorus. Swamp plots were distinguished by high abundances ofProtomegabaria stapfiana andLibrevillea klainei, though correspondence ordination of plots in these groups showedP. stapfiana associated with more clayey soils andLibrevillea klainei (andGluema ivorensis) on the very sandy soils. Direct gradient analysis highlighted several species associated with these lower phosphorus soils. Available soil phosphorus is not as low at Douala-Edea as in parts of Korup, and the association of these Douala-Edea soils with the Caesalpinioideae is correspondingly weaker.

    Notes: Abstract All living trees (≥30 cm gbh) were enumerated in 135 80×80 m plots, each subdivided into four 40×40 m subplots, and arranged along four 5 km transect lines in the Korup Forest Reserve, Cameroun. For each plot altitude, slope and the extent of permanent and seasonal swamps were recorded. Four hundred and eleven taxa were recognized of which 66% were identified to species. Mean tree density was 471 ha−1, basal area 27.6 m2 ha−1 and number of species per plot 75. The subfamily Caesalpinioideae (Leguminosae) was the most abundant family/subfamily in terms of basal area, but the Scytopetalaceae the most frequently represented, mainly on account ofOubanguia alata. Ten plots had at least three quarters of their area permanently swamped, and three, to a similar extent, were seasonally swamped. The ranges in sand, silt and clay content were 60–91, 0–24 and 4–20% respectively. The pH value, organic carbon content and nitrate-nitrogen concentration ranged between 4.0–5.8, 1.3–5.7% and 0–35 ppm respectively. The largest soil variations were in available phosphorus, range 2–29 ppm, and potassium, 38–375 ppm. Correspondence analysis ordination of all plots showed a major indirect floristic gradient correlated with increasing altitude, slope and soil phosphorus and potassium. Removal of the topographic effect by separate re-ordinations of four groups of plots at low, middle (2) and high altitude/slopes highlighted a strong correlation of the main floristic gradients of the middle altitude/slope groups with the concentration of available soil phosphorus. Direct gradient analysis using all plots with respect to available soil phosphorus concentration confirmed the indirect analyses. Individual species response to phosphorus were also shown by direct comparisons in the vegetation on plots of high and low available soil phosphorus concentration. Low available phosphorus soils (≤5 ppm) are strongly associated with species of the subfamily Caesalpinioideae, especially of the tribes Amherstieae and Detarieae. It is suggested that this result is probably due to the ability of these particular legume tribes to form associations with ectotrophic mycorrhizae.

    Notes: Summary The content of elements in needles ofPinus caribaea trees growing upon infertile savanna soils was analysed at 3 and 5 years after the tap roots of a subset of trees had been severed. No significant differences were found between the content of elements in treated and control trees, nor were significant differences found in increments of diameter of the trees over 5 years. It is concluded that this organ plays no significant nutritional role in the trees on these soils, and that tree growth can be achieved exclusively from atmospheric nutrient accessions and exchangeable nutrient reserves in the topsoil.

    Notes: Summary A pot experiment is described which investigated the effects of placing starter fertilizer, 1 cm beneath the seeds, on growth and nutrient uptake in lettuce seedlings at two soil temperatures (10°C and 20°C). At both temperatures the presence of starter fertilizer increased nutrient concentrations within the plants. At 20°C there was no growth response to the starter treatments. However, at 10°C there was a large response to the application of starter fertilizer. The best treatment was a combination of NH4H2PO4 and KH2PO4 which increased plant dry weight by 64% at 19 days from sowing. Nutrient deficiency caused a significant increase in the root length/shoot weight ratio of the control plants at 10°C. The responses to the starter were shown to be determined by the balance between the demand for nutrients from the shoots and the supplying power of the roots.

    Notes: Summary Nutrient contents of aPinus radiata stand, that is, aboveground tree, understorey, forest floor and soil to 200 mm depth, were estimated in a replicated fertilizer trial, treated 30 years previously. The fertilizer treatments were 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 kg P/ha as broadcast superphosphate. Highly significant growth responses had been obtained to the applied P. Estimation of the P content of the stand showed that 129%, 89%, 72% and 67% of the applied P was found in the 25, 50, 75 and 100 kg P/ha treatments respectively. The larger losses of P at the higher application rates would explain the lack of increased response with the highest application rate, however, it also shows that significant quantities of P are still present after a period of 30 years, giving a basis for growth responses in the subsequent rotations. Elevated quantities of N, Ca, Mg and K were found in the treatments compared with the control and these could not be explained on the basis of atmospheric inputs. For the cations, uptake from deeper in the soil profile could explain most of the effect but not for the higher amounts of N which, in the case of the highest superphosphate treatment, amounted to an accumulation of 27 kg N/ha/yr. These nutrient changes together with increased soil organic matter contents are considered to have provided a long term increase to the site productivity.

    Notes: Summary Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr. cv. Amsoy 71) plants were grown in a greenhouse in a soil very low in plant-available P, and plants were harvested 5 times over a 21-week growth period. Soybeans were inoculated with one of two species of VAM fungi or received daily one of three nutrient solutions of different P concentrations (0.0, 0.2, or 1.0mMP). Until week 9, the dry weights, leaf areas and developmental stage of soybeans inoculated withG. fasciculatum orG. mosseae were similar to the 1.0 or 0.2mMP-treated plants, respectively. Phosphorus concentrations were significantly lower in VAM plants at weeks 6 and 9 as compared to non-VAM soybeans given 1.0mMP, suggesting P input in VAM plants was immediately used for new growth. Total P input for VAM plants was linear over 21 weeks, and the average rate of P uptake for these plants was 0.19mg P d−1. Estimated specific P uptake rates (SPUR) for the mycorrhizae (VAM roots) were twice that of the control (0.0mMP) roots. The calculated SPURs forG. fasciculatum andG. mosseae hyphae were 95 and 120μg P g−1 VAM d−1 respectively, a 4 to 5 fold increase over non-inoculated roots, indicating more attention must be paid to P assimilation by VAM fungi in P-fixing substrates.

    Notes: Summary The effects of temperature and prior flooding of soil on P sorption were examined in 2 soils having a rice-based cropping system and showing an induced P deficiency problem in flooded rice-uplant crop rotations. The P sorption capacity of soil increased with increasing temperature as well as with prior flooding, the effects of the latter were, howerver, dominant. The bonding energy of sorption, calculated from the Langmuir isotherm, also increased with both temperature and prior flooding of soils, indicate that the effects of chemical changes associated with alternative anoxic and oxidized soil conditions are more significant in the P reversion process. The apparent heat of sorption reaction, calculated with the Freundlich isotherm and Van't Hoff's equation also increased due to prior flooding of soil.

    Notes: Summary Changes in P sorption and bioavailability were studied with 4 soils previously flooded and drained as occurs in rice-based cropping systems. Phosphorus sorption was measured at 15 and 119 days after drainage and the bioavailability of added and native soil-P was determined at 9, 16, 30, 45, 70 and 135 days in both flooded-drained and unflooded soils. The P sorptivity and bonding energy of sorption increased under flooded-drained soil conditions. At 119 days after drainage the P sorptivity and bonding energy of sorption decreased as compared to 15 days after drainage. The P sorptivity of the flooded-drained soils, however, did not reach the same levels as existed in the soils prior to flooding. The bioavailability of P during the drainage period remained low and did not measurably change up to 70 days after drainage. At 135 days after drainage the bioavailability of P increased significantly, but did not reach the level found in the corresponding unflooded soils.

    Notes: Summary A re-examination of earlier NPK fertilization experiments in Douglas fir stands on sandy soils shows the effects of high nitrogen input by air pollution during the last 10–15 years on plant nutrition at these sites. In 1960, experimental plots showed a positive growth reaction to nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization. All suffered from severe phosphorus deficiency in 1984, low phosphorus in the needles was invariably accompanied by a high nitrogen content, with all N/P ratios between 20 and 30. The same conclusion emerges from an independent investigation of nutrient status of a selection of Douglas fir stands. Hence, if stand productivity and a balanced nutrient status of the trees is to be maintained, the increase in atmospheric input of nitrogen calls for supplementary fertilization. Given the current N/P ratios in the needles, a positive growth response to phosphorus fertilization is to be expected.

    Notes: Summary The effects of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) on the growth and phosphorus uptake of cocoa seedlings (Theobroma cacao L.) grown for 100 days in polythene bags, were studied at five levels of phosphorus fertilization in both steamed and unsterile Bungor Series soil (a fine clayey, kaolinitic isohyperthermic Typic Paleudult). The cocoa seedlings responded well to phosphorus fertilization and mycorrhizal treatments. Plants inoculated with VAM fungi (Gigaspora spp.) gave the most vigorous growth and higher phosphorus in the leaf tissues in unsterile soil compared to plants grown in steamed soil. However, the mycorrhizal effect was significantly more pronounced (P〈0.01) in plants grown in steamed than in unsterile soil. High levels of phosphorus application depressed mycorrhizal development. Phosphorus fertilizer applied at the rates of 250 and 500 ug g−1 soil gave maximum root colonization and spore counts in both soil types used.

    Notes: Summary Absorption of nitrate and ammonium was studied in water culture experiments with 4 to 6 weeks old plants of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum L. Moench) and rape (Brassica napus L.). The plants were grown in a complete nutrient solution with nitrate (5.7±0.2 mM) or nitrate (5.6±0.2 mM) + ammonium (0.04±0.02 mM). The pH of the nutrient solution was kept at 5.0 using a pH-stat. It was found that phosphorus deficiency reduced the rate of nitrate uptake by 58±3% when nitrate was the sole N source and by 83±1% when both nitrate and ammonium were present. The reduction occurred even before growth was significantly impeded by P deficiency. The inhibition of the uptake of ammonium was less,i.e. ammonium constituted 10±1% of the total N uptake in the P sufficient plants and 30±5% in the P deficient plants. The reduction of nitrate absorption greatly decreased the difference between the uptake of anions and cations. It is suggested that P deficiency reduced the assimilation of NO 3 − into the proteins, which might cause a negative feedback on NO 3 − influx and/or stimulate NO 3 − efflux.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of aluminum on levels of inorganic phosphorus and acetylcholinesterase in blood and brain and on permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in different regions of the brain to the neuropeptide deltasleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) was studied in adult rats. Aluminum (100 mg/kg) significantly increased the permeability of the BBB to intracarotid 125I-N-Tyr-DSIP so that levels of radioactivity in whole brain were 45% higher than in control animals. The pattern of regional distribution of radioactivity in the brain was, however, unaffected, demonstrating that the affect of aluminum occurs throughout the BBB. Aluminum also significantly decreased inorganic phosphorus levels in the serum by 19%, but this effect did not correlate with BBB permeability to DSIP. Aluminum did not decrease brain levels of phosphorus despite the drop in blood levels of phosphorus nor affect brain or blood levels of acetylcholinesterase. Experiments with radioactive 32P reinforced the finding that blood but not brain levels of phosphorus are reliably affected by aluminum. The lack of correlation between changes in BBB permeability and decreased levels of inorganic phosphorus in the blood suggests that the effect of aluminum may not be mediated by its effects on phosphorus metabolism. Also, the change in BBB permeability after administration of aluminum does not appear to depend on changes in brain cholinergic activity but does occur throughout the brain.

    Notes: Abstract Nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in a eutrophic Louisiana freshwater lake system (Lac des Allemands) was studied. Nutrients from runoff entering the lake, as well as sediment-interstitial and lake water nitrogen and phosphorus fractions, were measured seasonally. Sedimentation rates in the lake were determined using137Cs dating. Phosphorus levels in the lake were found to be largely dependent on concentrations in the incoming bayou water from upland drainage. Lake water concentrations appear to respond to fluctuations in incoming waters. Laboratory equilibrium studies showed bottom sediments in the lake are a major sink for the incoming dissolved orthophosphate phosphorus. Total nitrogen concentrations in the lake water generally exceeded incoming runoff concentrations, suggesting fixation by the large blue-green algae population in the lake as being the major source of nitrogen to the system. Sedimentation ranged from 0.44 cm/year to 0.81 cm/year, depending on the proximity to the inlet bayous. Even though the lake is eutrophic the sediment served as a buffer by removing large amounts of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus through sedimentation processes. Carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus were accumulating in the sediment at rates of 60, 7.1, and 1.1 g/m2/year, respectively. The water quality of the lake is likely to continue to decline unless measures are taken to reduce municipal, industrial, and agricultural inputs of phosphorus into the lake.

    Notes: Summary Hydroxamate siderophores (HS) are microbially produced, ferric-specific chelates, known to occur in soil, and to be capable of providing iron to higher plants. This study examined the potential for HS to influence the diffusion of both iron and phosphorus to plant roots in soil. The HS desferrioxamine-B (DFOB) and desferriferrichrome (ferrichrome) were compared with the synthetic chelates ethylenediamine [di(o-hydroxyphenylacetic)acid] (EDDHA) and ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA), and citrate, oxalate, and distilled water in their ability to increase diffusion of iron using a simulated root technique. Chelate solutions were pumped through porous fiber bundles imbedded in soil previously labeled with55Fe. In a sandy loam of pH 7.5,55Fe diffusion caused by 10−4 M DFOB was twice that of water, but similar to that caused by 10−4 M EDDHA. However, 10−3 M EDDHA resulted in greater diffusion than 10-3 M DFOB. The diffusions resulting from equimolar quantities of citrate, oxalate, and EDTA were similar to that with distilled water. In a clay soil of pH 5.2 previously labeled with55Fe and32 P, the response in55Fe diffusion to chelate treatments was: 10−4 M EDDHA 〉 10−4 M ferrichrome 〉 10−3 M DFOB 〉 10−4 M DFOB 〉 water. Both ferrichrome and EDDHA caused2 P diffusion to increase substantially over that of distilled water. These results suggest that hydroxamate siderophores present in the rhizosphere could effectively increase the level of soluble iron for root uptake and possibly increase phosphorus uptake by solubilization of phosphorus from iron phosphates at acid pH.

    Notes: Summary A greenhouse study was conducted to evaluate the effect of ectomycorrhizae on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) growing in a Piedmont soil. Pine seedlings were inoculated with one of four species of fungi (Scleroderma aurantium, Pisolithus tinctorius, Thelophora terrestris, andRhizopogon roseolus). The seedlings were grown in pots containing a Cecil sandy clay loam amended to create a gradient of extractable P ranging from 5.9 to 52.5 μg/g. After ten months, all colonized seedlings were significantly larger than control seedlings. However, of the four fungi,Scleroderma aurantium mediated a far superior shoot growth response to increasing levels of soil P; the seedlings were significantly larger than those colonized by any other fungus and also had the largest root systems and greatest degree of mycorrhizal colonization.

    Notes: Summary A field experiment was conducted and studied the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on ammonia assimilating enzymes of Azolla. Nitrogen and phosphorus at 30 and 60 kg/ha respectively were tested andAzolla pinnata was inoculated at 200 g/m2. The Azolla samples were drawn on 24th hr, 7th day and 14th day and the ammonia assimilating enzymes glutamine synthetase (GS), glutamate synthase (GOGAT) and glutamine dehydrogenase (GDH) were estimated. Nitrogen and phosphorus have markedly suppressed the GDH activity but fertilizer nitrogen has no significant influence in inhibiting the enzyme activity of GOGAT and GS. In general phosphorus application also has stimulated the GS activity significantly during the first sampling period of 24th hour.

    Notes: Summary Available data concerning nutrition and fertilization effects on crops irrigated with saline water are presented and discussed. Published data on the salinity-fertility relationship are, at least to some extent, contradictory; both positive and negative effects as well as no effect of fertilization on salinity tolerance have been recorded. However, a great deal of the experimental work supports the view that standard fertilization recommendations for non-saline conditions are also suitable for saline conditions. In addition, available data indicate that the apparent salt tolerance of agricultural crops varies with soil fertility level. Consequently, crops showing exceptionally high apparent salt tolerance at a low fertility level become more sensitive when adequately fertilized, although the absolute yield may be greatly increased. On the other hand, some data seem to show a real increase in salinity tolerance under improved fertility conditions. Important information concerning the responses of plants to salinity under various fertility levels was obtained by tissue analysis. It should be kept in mind that this information may be influenced also by the plant species and by environmental conditions.

    Notes: Summary Information is limited on soil contamination of leaves from field-grown row crops, especially with respect to aluminum (Al) analyses. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of washing leaf samples with either deionized water or detergent solution on elemental analyses for several agronomic crop plants. The crop plants sampled were corn (Zea mays L.), soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.), grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The crops were grown on a range of soil types, soil pH values, and tillage practices. Samples of upper leaves and lower leaves were collected separately. The samples were either not washed, washed with deionized water, or washed with detergent solution. After drying, grinding, and digesting, the samples were analyzed for Al, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu). For all crop plants and conditions studied, there was no effect on measured N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Zn, or Cu concentrations, but measured Al and Fe concentrations were influenced by washing. In general, washing had a greater effect on Al analyses than on Fe analyses. Soybean samples were most affected by washing, while wheat samples seemed to be least affected. The results reflected greater contamination of lower leaves than upper leaves. Decontamination procedures appear necessary prior to Al and Fe analyses of field-grown crop plants.

    Notes: Summary Concentration of N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S in summer groundnut crop was higher than in kharif while Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu contents were higher in summer crop. Kernel's N, P and Zn; Leaflet's Ca and Mn; Stem's K and Fe; Root's S and Cu and Petiole's Mg contents were highest. Shell's N, P, K, Mg, S, Zn and Cu; Kernel's Ca, Fe and Mn contents were the least. N, P, K, S, Zn and Cu concentrations decreased linearly as the crop grew. Ca, Mg, Fe and Mn concentrations did not display any distinct pattern. Ca concentration was positively correlated with pod yield in both the seasons.

    Notes: Summary Nitrogen and phosphorus limitations to growth are common in many loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) stands. Interactions of these nutrients may complicate interpretation of foliar nutrient analysis for predicting response to forest fertilization. Proportions of foliar nutrient concentrations (and the changes in these proportions following fertilization) were examined in 36 semi-mature loblolly pine plantations in the southeastern United States. Mean proportions of nutrient concentrations (N∶P∶K∶Ca∶Mg) for non-fertilized stands were 100∶9.3∶36.5∶17.2∶9.2. Potassium and phosphorus were higher. Nitrogen fertilization generally decreased the P∶N ratio and enhanced growth, indicating a nitrogen deficiency in most stands under study. Additions of nitrogen and phosphorus together yielded a significant increase in the P∶N ratio. Effects of fertilization effects on other nutrient concentration ratios were also examined.

    Notes: Summary Jarrah seedlings were grown in six virgin Western Australian soils for up to 27 months. Lignotubers were produced in all soils and formed 10–16% of plant dry weight. The phosphorus concentration in the lignotuber (250–800 μg g−1) was nearly twice that in the stem and roots. The lignotuber contained 10–30% of total plant phosphorus and like the leaves was a sink for phosphorus. In one lateritic soil the phosphorus concentrations of lignotuber and stem barks were similar. However, in the same plants the concentration of phosphorus in the lignotuber wood was five times the phosphorus concentration in stem wood. Hence both lignotuber bark and sap wood in young jarrah seedlings are storage sites for phosphorus. X-ray probe analysis showed that wood phosphorus was associated with the ray parenchyma. Unlike phosphorus, nitrogen did not accumulate in the lignotuber and the concentrations of nitrogen were similar for roots, lignotubers and stems.

    Notes: Summary The effects of four Zn levels on the electrochemical and chemical properties of the soil solution, and on the growth and mineral nutrition of two rice varieties (IR26 and IR34) differing in tolerance to Zn deficiency were studied in the greenhouse using Zn-deficient soils from two locations. A similar experiment was conducted in culture solution to check how Zn addition affects translocation of other nutrients. In both soil and culture solution, plant Zn concentrations alone was not enough to account for varietal tolerance to Zn deficiency. Comparison of nutrient to Zn and shoot to root ratios of nutrients was more useful in determining the possible mechanism of varietal tolerance. IR 34 appeared to tolerate the disorder due to its lower Zn requirement, more efficient Zn translocation and ability to maintain lower Fe/Zn, Cu/Zn, Mg/Zn and P/Zn ratios in the shoot than the more susceptible variety, IR26. This was shown to be due to decreased translocation of Fe, Mg and P to shoots and decreased absorption of Cu by the root in IR34 in culture solution studies. Adding Zn further reduces translocation or absorption of these nutrients and depending on the nutrient supply of the soil, could cause deficiencies or mineral imbalances, especially of Fe, Cu, and P. These observed varietal differences regarding Zn requirement and the interaction of Zn with absorption and translocation of plant nutrients necessitates revision of recommendations for Zn fertilization. There is an inevitable need for Zn application in severely Zn-deficient soils regardless of rice variety. But on marginally Zn-deficient soils especially those low in Fe, Cu, or P, Zn fertilization is not advisable when resistant rice varieties are used.

    Notes: Summary The alkaline phosphatase activity and the calcium and phosphorus content of osteogenic tissue formedin vivo following the implantation of diffusion chambers loaded with rabbit bone marrow cells is reported. (In this study the term osteogenic includes osteoblastic and chondroblastic.) Chambers examined 14–70 days after implantation revealed progressive accumulation of mineral. Alkaline phosphatase activity increased until day 30 and declined thereafter. The osteogenic potential of the marrow cells decreased with increasing weight (age) of the cell donor rabbit when measured either as the percentage of chambers containing osteogenic tissue or as the amount of calcium, phosphorus, or alkaline phosphatase activity within the chambers. The results confirm that measurements of these parameters in tissue formed by cells incubated in diffusion chambersin vivo may be used as a method for assay of osteogenesis.

    Notes: Abstract Nitrogen and phosphorus exports from channelizedstream watersheds were elevated over those from nearby natural swamp-stream watersheds. Nitrate exports were significantly greater from channelized-stream watersheds, and higher exports were attributed to faster groundwater drawdown, continual streamflow, and transformation of former floodplain to croplands following channelization. Exports of total organic nitrogen and total nitrogen were also significantly greater from channelized-stream watersheds. Differences in the exports of ammonium, filterable reactive phosphorus, and filterable unreactive phosphorus between the two watershed types were not detectable. Particulate phosphorus exports were significantly higher from channelized-stream watersheds, presumably because of greater erosion potential of nearby croplands and steep channel banks in the altered watersheds. The presence of nonpoint sources of pollution increased watershed exports of nutrients regardless of stream morphology. Examination of nutrient budgets for a portion of swamp floodplain at the base of one natural-stream watershed revealed that changes in local groundwater hydrology and stream morphology associated with channelization appeared to have greater effect on nutrient exports than simply the loss of bordering forested floodplain.

    Notes: Summary There is an immense literature on biological and biochemical analyses of soils. Such analyses have revealed the enormous richness of species in soil and their vast range of metabolic potentials and ecological diversity. Accordingly, the approaches used to investigate the soil biota and its biochemistry usually have to be modified or adapted depending upon the purpose of the investigation. Studies of micro-organisms in the soil environment, are complicated because microbial cells are commonly attached to surfaces where they live side-by-side with other populations in consortia usually containing different morphological and physiological types. Such assemblages of organisms cannot be described quantitatively using cultural techniques, such as plate counts, which underestimate both cell numbers and viable biomass. The development of more powerful observational and staining techniques has improved our knowledge of the diverse morphological and biochemical composition of soil micro-communities. Such findings have been amplified at a grosser level by laboratory studies with multi-component systems (microcosms) to mimic field situations and to assess the range of biochemical potentials of microbial consortia. But despite notable advances in analytical methods we are still, with a few exceptions, unable to detect or identify those microorganisms which carry out specific biochemical transformations or determine whether particular cells are alive, dormant or dead at the time of observation. Considerable work has been done to define some of the fundamental ecological attributes of microbial assemblages in soil. Productive work on the metabolic activities of the soil microbiota, specially geochemical transformations of C, N, S and P, has been under way for more than a century. But only in more recent years have more sensitive and reproducible analytical methods become available to measure viable biomass in soil. This will enable some insight to be gained into the role that microbial biomass plays as a labile source and sink for plant nutrients.

    Notes: Summary Changes in the composition of organo-mineral particle size fractions as a result of cultivation of a grassland soil are discussed with reference to models of soil organic matter formation and turnover. The data presented indicated that physically stabilized organic matter is an important reservoir, with an intermediate turnover time, which is responsible for nutrient supply in agricultural soils. Possible mechanisms of stabilization and mobilization of organic matter are presented in the light of the arrangement of organic and inorganic components of the soil.

    Notes: Summary Copper deficiency inPinus radiata in Gippsland, Victoria was found to be associated with acid, organic-rich sandy podzols. A trial designed to find a Cu supplement for P and NPK fertilisation on these soils showed significant growth in stem-length following Cu-solution treatment in the nursery, and Cu fertiliser applied in the field up to at least 13.5 kg Cu ha−1. The Steenbjerg effect was evident in foliar concentrations of nutrients following fertilisation; this makes diagnosis from foliar analysis difficult. Foliar Cu∶N ratios proved a more sensitive indicator of Cu fertiliser treatment than either Cu or N alone. Two phases of seasonal drainage and podzol development were identified in the experiment. Trees growing on the better-drained, more acid soil with a high content of organic matter responded better to Cu fertiliser.

    Notes: Summary Effects of P fertilizers on growth of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var.menziesii (Mirb.) Franco.) seedlings were examined in pots and nursery beds. In pot experiments levels of P equivalent to 300 kg/ha were adequate for maximum growth over 14–18 weeks and resulted in available soil P levels of 80 ppm after 15 weeks' growth. Maximum growth in pots was obtained with shoot P concentrations of 0.18%–0.20%, with higher values at lower temperatures, but the optimum concentration for one-year old (1-0) nursery seedlings was 0.16% P. Growth of seedlings was greatly restricted at a soil temperature of 5°C and an air temperature of 12°C. At a soil temperature of 10°C and an air temperature of 14°C seedling P requirement was greater than at soil and air temperatures of 20°C. Comparison showed that monammonium phosphate was more effective than calcium superphosphate in stimulating growth in pots and nursery. Triple superphosphate was also effective in the nursery. Diammonium phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate and phosphoric acid had no advantages as P sources in the nursery. Available P levels of 100–130 ppm, in the loamy sand and sandy loam nurseries studied, and needle P concentrations of 0.18%, when sampled in October, were associated with maximum growth of two-year old (2-0) seedlings. P fertilization decreased root/shoot ratio, but did not alter the allometric relationship of shoot to root. Improving P status from a low level increased root growth capacity in 2-0 seedlings and P fertilization of potted seedlings increased dry weight/height ratio. Uptakes per seed bed ha of 236 kg N, 31 kg P, 81 kg K and 73 kg Ca by 2-0 seedlings were comparable with, or greater than, uptake rates of agricultural crops. Recoveries of 6–11% of P from fertilizer were recorded in the nursery.

    Notes: Summary The responses of white clover (cv NZ Grasslands Huia grown in four UK hill soil types) to additions of lime and P, to inoculation with Rhizobium and mycorrhizal fungi, and to differences in soil water status were assessed in pot and field experiments. With a deep peat soil in pots, shoot production, nodulation and N fixation by clover were increased by 160, 130 and 85% respectively following inoculation with mycorrhiza, but in the field, despite a doubling of root infection, there was no response in growth. On a brown earth soil in the field inoculation with one endophyte (Glomus mosseae L1) out of four tested depressed production of white clover shoots by 42% but enhanced that of leeks (Allium porrum) by 50%; the others were without effect. With dry peaty podzol and brown earth soils in pots, clover shoot production was highest with added P when a water holding capacity of 80% was maintained, but roots from the latter had only 2.6 compared to 68 nodules per plant from the former. Further work is required to explain poor nodulation in the brown earth soils.

    Notes: Summary Samples of peat and mor humus were treated with CHCl3 to kill microbial cells and the amounts of C as CO2, N as soluble- and mineral-N, and P as inorganic-P released by the treatment were compared with estimates of the microbial biomass by the Anderson and Domsch test and ATP determination. Increased amounts of soluble-N and inorganic-P, extracted with 1M KCl and 0.01M CaCl2 respectively, were detected immediately after the fumigation treatment. However, the subsequent rates of production of CO2−C and mineral-N measured during a 10-day incubation period at 25°C were low and variable, resulting in anomalously low estimates of microbial biomass. The flush of inorganic-P was more consistent and, in mor humus, generally related to biomass-C as measured by the Anderson and Domsch test.

Five years after treatment, foliar concentrations of N, P and Ca for understory blasam fir exhibited significant increases in response to fertilization with those nutrients. Mean five-year height growth, adjusted for pretreatment differences, increased 36 percent in response to fertilization with N alone and in combination with P and lime.

    Notes: Summary Seasonal changes in the foliar concentration of macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca and Mg) in sapling trees ofEucalyptus saligna Sm. andE. wandoo Blakely growing in rehabilitated bauxite mined areas in the Darling Range of Western Australia are described. Foliar N concentration decreased with age of the fully expanded leaf tissue. Leaf N concentrations were also high when rates of litter decomposition were expected to be high during the period of early spring. The greatest foliar N difference between trees growing in good soil conditions and those from poorer soil conditions also occurred during this period. Levels of P in leaves were highest in young developing leaves but once the leaves reached full size, no seasonal trend in P concentration was observed. Foliar K was lower during the winter and probably related to the period of maximum leaching by precipitation. High foliar K during summer, however, could be related to the role of K in lowering cellular water potential. Leaf Ca was highest during early sping. Low mobility of cellular Ca during the cool portion of the year was indicated. Foliar Mg showed a weak pattern of decreasing concentration with leaf age. The best season for sampling for these broadleafed evergreen species to provide information on plant nutrient status appears to be in spring.

    Notes: Abstract In a preliminary assessment of the fertilizer capability of three high analysis NP(S) compounds, their possible phytotoxic effects were investigated in solution culture tubes. One of the compounds was studied in more detail in pot experiments with sand and a red-brown earth soil. Two adamantane-type compounds (APA and APAS) were capable of supplying N and P to plants, but also showed toxicity effects. With APA, this effect appeared to be dissipated in soil but not in sand. The toxic effect was alleviated by addition of soluble P or soluble P + N. Some plants absorbed excessive amounts of P, probably not all in the form of orthophosphate.

    Notes: Summary The macronutrient variation within four 6 year oldEucalyptus saligna and four 5 year oldE. wandoo growing on rehabilitated bauxite pits was determined. Significant differences in mean nutrient concentrations were generally recorded between good soil condition sites and poor soil sites, between tree individuals, branch height, and plant organ type; but mean nutrient values were not different among canopy aspects. Fully expanded leaves of the current year provided the most uniform nutrient levels among the plant organs and showed major differences between sites with good soil nutrient conditions and those with poor conditions. Differences in foliar and branch levels of N, P, K, Ca and Mg, the variation between sites, canopy heights and plant organ types, and the use of foliar nutrient levels to indicate deficiencies are discussed.

    Notes: Summary In order to evaluate a possible role for tissue phosphate or phosphorylated compounds in mediating the increase in plasma 1,25-(OH)2-D3 levels during dietary phosphate deprivation, measurements of total and acid-soluble renal cortical phosphate content have been made in both intact and hypophysectomized (hypox) rats eating a normal diet and also after four days of dietary phosphate deprivation. Similar measurements were also made in phosphate-deprived hypophysectomized rats replaced with growth hormone (GH). Total and acid-soluble renal cortical phosphate content averaged 81±8 µmol/g and 4.1±0.6 µmol/g, respectively, in intact rats eating the normal diet and were not significantly altered after phosphate deprivation despite a fall in plasma phosphate of about 40% and a fourfold increase in plasma 1,25-(OH)2-D3 levels. Total and acid-soluble renal cortical phosphate content levels were higher in hypox rats, averaging 92±8 µmol/g and 4.9±0.7 µmol/g, respectively, but also did not change after phosphate deprivation. Replacement of phosphate-deprived hypox rats with GH resulted in a further fall in plasma phosphate and a significant increase in plasma 1,25-(OH)2-D3 levels, but there was no change in either total or acid-soluble renal cortical phosphate content. The distribution of organophosphorus compounds in the acid-soluble phosphate fraction in these experiments was also evaluated using31P NMR spectroscopy. Although there appeared to be an increase in the total concentration of organophosphorus compounds after phosphate deprivation, this effect was not altered by hypophysectomy or by replacement of phosphate-deprived hypox rats with GH. These data suggest that unless phosphate deprivation affects only a small or specific cellular phosphate pool, some factor other than renal cell inorganic phosphate content must initiate the increase in renal 1,25-(OH)2-D3 synthesis that occurs during phosphate deprivation.

    Notes: Summary High-resolution31P NMR spectroscopy is shown to be a potentially valuable new method for monitoring the spontaneous precipitation of calcium phosphates from metastable supersaturated solutions. An apparatus capable of pH-statting the sample in a spinning 20 mm NMR sample tube is briefly described. The spontaneous precipitation of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, CaHPO4· 2H2O, pH-statted at pH 5, is characterized by a base-uptake curve which follows the decrease in the intensity of the solution31P resonance. The precipitation of amorphous calcium phosphate at neutral pH, which exhibited an induction period of ∼ 10 min, was also studied. No evidence of NMR peaks from transient clusters or the initial colloidal solid phase has been seen.

    Growth hormone and triiodothyronine permit an increase in plasma 1,25(OH)2D concentrations in response to dietary phosphate deprivation in hypophysectomized rats (1983)

    Notes: Summary Hypophysectomy abolishes the four- to fivefold increase in plasma 1,25(OH)2D levels that normally accompanies dietary phosphate deprivation in rats despite a smaller but significant decrease in plasma phosphate in these animals. This effect appears within 1 week of hypophysectomy and may be the result of a lack of GH, T3, or some other pituitary hormone. In hypothyroid rats (2 weeks after TPTX) not given replacement T3, plasma 1,25(OH)2D levels rose threefold from 148±57 pmol/l to 402±96 pmol/l (mean±SD) after 4 days of dietary phosphate deprivation. However, in hypophysectomized animals given replacement T3 alone, plasma 1,25(OH)2D levels rose fourfold from 82±13 to 333±230 pmol/l after 4 days of phosphate deprivation. In addition, in hypophysectomized animals replaced with GH alone, plasma 1,25(OH)2D levels rose from 243±86 to 525±85 pmol/l during phosphate deprivation. These results would suggest that both GH and T3 must be absent to prevent enhanced renal 1,25(OH)2D synthesis during phosphate deprivation. GH and T3 appear to play a permissive role since plasma levels of these hormones do not increase when intact rats are deprived of phosphate. Furthermore, bioassayable somatomedin levels are also not increased in intact rats during phosphate deprivation as well as plasma levels of prolactin. As observed previously, plasma 1,25(OH)2D levels were inversely correlated to plasma phosphate concentrations (r=0.46,P〈0.025), despite the inclusion of data points for unreplaced hypophysectomized animals who were hypophosphatemic but showed no increase in plasma 1,25(OH)2D. Thus the possibility remains that GH and T3 may exert their effect by permitting the renal 25OHD-1α-hydroxylase to respond to a change in phosphate concentrations during dietary phosphate deprivation, that, in turn, may ultimately increase renal 1,25(OH)2D synthesis and plasma levels of this hormone.

    Notes: Abstract To further characterize the mechanisms by which 25(OH)vitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) and 1.25(OH)2 vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) suppress the phosphaturic action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) we have studied the effects of cycloheximide (cyclohex), a protein synthesis inhibitor, on the interaction between PTH and vitamin D metabolites in parathyroidectomized (PTX) rats, both in vivo and in vitro experiments. In clearance studies PTX PTH-infused rats were pretreated with cyclohex 2 h before the administration of vitamin D. In control, PTX PTH-infused rats not pretreated with cyclohex, the administration of 25(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 was associated with a fall in fractional excretion of phosphate (CP/CIN) from 0.30±0.05 to 0.16±0.02 and from 0.31±0.05 to 0.13±0.01 (P〈0.005) respectively. Cyclohex-pretreated PTX PTH-infused rats failed to respond to both 25(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3, and CP/CIN, which rose after PTH, remained 0.32±0.05 and 0.29±0.03 respectively. In vitro, both 25(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 inhibited the PTH-induced activation of adenylate cyclase in the renal isolated membrane fractions. Pretreatment with cyclohex abolished this effect of vitamin D metabolites. These results show that cyclohex blocks the antiphosphaturic effects of both 25(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 but does not alter the response to PTH. These findings are consistent with the possibility that the acute renal action of vitamin D depends on de novo synthesis of protein.

    Notes: Summary Removal of NPK in the rice-wheat double cropping system was studied in a field experiment conducted for two crop years (1977–79) at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. The double cropping system producing 8×103 kg/ha/yr grain (4.5×103 kg rice and 3.5×103 kg wheat) removed 166 kg N, 35 kg P and 174 kg K per hectare per year. Thus the rice-wheat double cropping system heavily depletes the soils of their NPK content and calls for balanced fertilization for continued high production. NPK removal was higher when a 135-day duration rice variety was grown than when a 105-day duration variety was grown, because the former resulted in overall (rice + wheat) more grains and straw. Similarly grain and straw yield and NPK removal was more with transplanted rice than when sprouted rice seeds were sown on puddled seedbed; the latter method was in turn superior to direct drilling. Use of urea briquette, neem cake coated urea and sulphur coated urea gave higher yields and resulted in removal of more NPK than prilled urea.

The model was verified with an experiment using six species that varied widely in root hair length, density and radius. A sensitivity analysis was conducted and the results are included to illustrate the situations where root hairs contribute significantly to P uptake. Length of root hair, root hair density and root hair radius all influenced predicted P uptake with root hair length being particularily significant.

    Notes: Summary Studies examined net photosynthesis (Pn) and dry matter production of mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizalPinus taeda at 6 intervals over a 10-month period. Pn rates of mycorrhizal plants were consistently greater than nonmycorrhizal plants, and at 10 months were 2.1-fold greater. Partitioning of current photosynthate was examined by pulse-labelling with14CO2 at each of the six time intervals. Mycorrhizal plants assimilated more14CO2, allocated a greater percentage of assimilated14C to the root systems, and lost a greater percentage of14C by root respiration than did nonmycorrhizal plants. At 10 months, the quantity of14CO2 respired by roots per unit root weight was 3.6-fold greater by mycorrhizal than nonmycorrhizal plants. Although the stimulation of photosynthesis and translocation of current photosynthate to the root system by mycorrhiza formation was consistent with the source-sink concept of sink demand, foliar N and P concentrations were also greater in mycorrhizal plants. Further studies examined Pn and dry matter production ofPinus contorta in response to various combinations of N fertilization (3, 62, 248 ppm), irradiance and mycorrhizal fungi inoculation. At 16 weeks of age, 6 weeks following inoculation with eitherPisolithus tinctorius orSuillus granulatus, Pn rates and biomass were significantly greater in mycorrhizal than nonmycorrhizal plants. Mycorrhizal plants had significantly greater foliar %P, but not %N, than did nonmycorrhizal plants. Fertilization with 62 ppm N resulted in greater mycorrhiza formation than either 3 or 248 ppm. Increased irradiance resulted in increased mycorrhiza formation.

    Notes: Summary The paper reviews information, much of it obtained from studies using the East Malling root observation laboratories, on the growth and development of the fruit tree root system. The production of new white root varies from year-to-year, generally being highest in the early years. As trees age, woody roots constitute an increasing fraction of total root length although the contribution made by new root growth to the total root length of established trees is also affected by soil management, being higher for trees under grass than under herbicide. Soil management also affects the balance of short (lateral) to long (extension) roots; under grass there are more lateral roots. Calculation of the rate of water uptake per unit root length needed at various times in the year to meet transpirational demand, suggests that woody roots, which recent experimental work has shown to be capable of absorbing water, must be responsible for much of total water supply. Measurements of VA mycorrhizal infection in field-grown trees indicated, for part of the season, higher per cent infection in trees grown under irrigated grass than under herbicide management. It is suggested that this, which is associated with raised leaf phosphorus levels, may be due at least partly to higher numbers of lateral roots, the root type which becomes infected. The growth and functioning of the root system under field conditions depend upon the production and integration of a range of root types.

    Notes: Summary Sheathing mycorrhizal fungi have been shown to possess phosphatase enzymes which can hydrolyse inositol hexaphosphate. In a range of mycorrhizal fungi, this activity was often greater than in two common decomposer basidiomycetes. Mycorrhizal birch and pine roots both produce phosphatases. In birch production is inversely related to the inorganic phosphorus concentration in the growth medium. Mycorrhizas reduce phosphatase activity compared with non-mycorrhizal plants. Phosphatase production by basidiomycete fungi in liquid culture is independent of P in the medium. Saprophytic basidiomycetes tend to incorporate hydrolysed phosphate into their biomass. In contrast mycorrhizal fungi release more into solution than they absorb. The significance of this difference in relation to the supply of nutrients to plants is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Techniques developed to measure growth of tomatoes and beans under limiting amounts of either P, K or Ca in solution culture reveal differences among strains. Genetic analysis permits estimates of gene action for control of efficiency and the isolation of improved segregants. The genetic isolates have value in studying mechanisms contributing to uptake, transport and utilization processes.

    Notes: Summary The electro-chemical and chemical kinetics of six California rice soils were significantly influenced by the presence of salts up to an EC of 9 mmhos/cm in saturation extract (ECe). Subsamples of each soil salinity treatment were incubated for periods up to 10 weeks after flooding. Most of the changes in Eh and pH values took place in the first 3–4 weeks after submergence. Salinity decreased pH values, but slightly increased the redox-potential. Both ammonification and nitrate reduction were significantly decreased, by increasing soil salinity. Salinity up to 9 mmhos/cm did not affect levels of Bray and Kurtz extractable P, but increased the water extractable Ca, Mg, K and Mn. In DTPA extract, salinity in incubated soils had no effect on Zn in 4 soils, but it decreased Fe in acid and neutral soils. Possible explanations for the electro-chemical and chemical kinetic changes due to flooding and salinity are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Ionic interactions may occur as cation-cation interactions, anion-anion interactions, or cation-anion interactions. Greater knowledge of this subject is warranted, due to the intensification of agriculture, in devising efficient fertilization systems. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the interaction among P, K, Ca and Mg absorption by the intact rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants from dilute solutions. The uptake of P was independent of Ca concentrations up-to 250 μM Ca but-there was a small decrease at the higher concentrations. Absorption of K and Mg was stimulated in the presence of Ca ions at low concentrations. But K and Mg absorption was decreased at higher Ca concentrations. Increasing concentrations of K in the nutrient solution depressed P and Ca uptake. Magnesium uptake was stimulated at lower concentrations of K, but at higher concentrations it was also decreased. Similarly, absorption of K and Ca was also decreased with increasing concentrations of Mg. Magnesium at lower concentrations stimulated P uptake but at higher concentraions it was decreased. In the present study maximum growth of rice plants was achieved at about 250μM Ca, 260 μM K, and 33μM Mg in the nutrient solution.

The dry matter yield increased with P at both stages of growth. Manganese improved the yield only in the first stage. Initial levels of Mn enhanced while higher levels had a depressing effect on tissue P. Addition of 7.5 ppm P enhanced Mn concentration at first stage and at higher levels a marked reduction in Mn content was observed at both the stages.

    Notes: Summary The rates of uptake of nutrients from solution by apple roots were measured (a) in a root laboratory, using intact roots of mature trees growing under field conditions and (b) in controlled environment using young trees. Maximum nitrate inflows into Discovery/M.9 roots under field conditions were only slightly lower than those into roots of the same genotype in controlled environment, but up to 80 times lower than those into roots of Worcester Pearmain seedlings. At any given external P concentration, P inflows into roots of field-grown trees were about 2.5-times lower than those into the roots of young trees in controlled environment. Nitrate inflows were constant above a solution concentration of 20 mmol m−3 in both field-grown and small trees. In both cases, phosphate inflows increased linearly with solution concentration up to 10 mmol m−3. Among the various plant and environmental factors influencing nutrient uptake characteristics of apple roots were: the scion genotype, tissue nutrient levels, root origin, the form in which N is supplied, level of irradiance of the shoot, root temperature and the season of the year. The effects of these factors are illustrated with examples.

    Notes: Abstract Genetic effects are obtainable for any aspect of transport, accumulation, and efficiency of nutrient use by plants, and for virtually any element. Some of the important characters are: tolerance to acid soils (18% of soils or 2.4 billion ha), tolerance to high pH induced Fe-chlorosis, and tolerance to salinity (about 1,000 m ha). Genotypes which made better use of N and P would be the means of saving fertilizers, especially important to developing countries. A 10% economy of fertilizer use represents a minimum world saving of US$6 billion annually. Phaseolus vulgaris is taken as a model to show that although we know quite a lot about the extent of its nutritional variation, e.g. adaptability to acid soils, and the crop's utilization of N and P, we are handicapped in exploiting this because of lack of genetic information. This in turn depends on knowledge of specific mechanisms, and investigating these must be a priority.

    Notes: Summary A three-year experiment was conducted in natural conditions on chernozem soil to examine the efficiency of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium use by corn (C4 type), sunflower and sugarbeet (C3 type) grown in optimum conditions of mineral nutrition (N100P100K100 kg/ha). Plant materials were analysed for the concentration of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium and dry matter mass per individual plant parts and the whole plant. Leaves of different age, of all three plant species, were analysed to find eventual differences in the efficiency of use of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the synthesis of organic matter depending on leaf age. It was found that corn had the lowest concentration of the elements studied but the highest dry matter mass. In other words, corn was more efficient than sunflower or sugarbeet in the use of these elements for the synthesis of an organic matter unit. Such results were arrived at in both sets of analyses, i.e., the analyses of leaves performed in the course of ontogenetic plant development as well as the analyses of leaves of different age.

    Notes: Summary Barley cultivars grown under field conditions of moderate deficiency of phosphorus (P) had great differences in P uptake and grain yields. As the rate determining step in P uptake under these conditions is located in the root net influx of P (ĪnL*) per g of dry matter of the plant can be expressed by $$\bar I_n L^* = \bar I_{max} L^* \frac{{c - c_{min} }}{{c - c_{min} + K_m }}$$ where Īn, L*, Īmax, c, cmin and Km denote mean net influx per unit length of the root, root length per unit weight of the plant, maximal mean net influx per unit length of the root, P concentration at the root surface, minimum concentration in solution of which net influx appears to be zero and Michaelis-Menten factor of P uptake, respectively. Studies of P uptake kinetics in water culture showed that the values of L*, Īmax, Km and cmin of P uptake varied considerably between barley cultivars. Furthermore, agreement was found between P uptake in the field and P uptake predicted from Īmax-, Km-, cmin- and L*-values observed in water culture experiments. The data thus indicate that it should be possible to improve the efficiency by which plants utilize soil as a source of P by selecting and/or developing genotypes of barley with a smaller cmin and/or Km and a greater Īmax and/or L* during the main period of growth. The results suggest therefore that it should be feasible to adapt plants to a considerably lower soil P level.

    Notes: Summary In a series of glasshouse experiments, plants were grown in pots and their response to applied phosphate was measured. In the experiments we measured the response of subterranean clover and ryegrass to applied phosphate in surface soil and subsoil, with and without inoculation with vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungi, and with different levels of added iron hydroxide. For subterranean clover, there was often a clearly marked threshold level of phosphate application below which the plants took up little P and grew poorly. This threshold effect led to the sigmoidal response curves. It occurred when plants were grown in subsoil and in surface soil when iron hydroxide was added. However, it only occurred when the plants were non-mycorrhizal. Inoculation with a VA mycorrhizal fungi (Glomus fasciculatum) eliminated the threshold even when large amounts of iron hydroxide were present. For ryegrass, no threshold was observed and the response curve was never sigmoidal. Thus sigmoidal response curves to applied phosphate were only observed when a coarse-rooted plant species (subterranean clover) was grown in soils with large adsorption capacities for phosphate, and when roots were not mycorrhizal. Sigmoidal response to applied phosphate may occur because there is a threshold concentration of P in soil solution for adsorption by plant roots, for movement to plant roots or for desorption of adsorbed phosphate from the soil particles.

    Notes: Summary Large quantities of citrate ions have been shown to be secreted by the roots ofLupinus albus. It is postulated that these react in the soil to form ferric hydroxy phosphate polymers which diffuse to the root surface where they are degraded by the action of reducing agents in the presence of an Fe II uptake mechanism balanced by hydrogen ion secretion. Some known chemical behaviour of Fe III and citrate which supports this postulate is reviewed. Evidence is also presented which suggests that much of the Fe absorbed circulates within the root system and is subsequently precipitated.

    Notes: Summary The growth of twenty plant species was compared under field conditions in a methyl bromide fumigated and non-fumigated soil. The non-fumigated soil had a wild endomycorrhizal flora and contained 100 μg/g of available phosphorus. No phosphorus was added to the soil but both fumigated and non-fumigated plots received a basal fertilization of 100 kg/ha N−NH4NO3 and 100 kg/ha K−KCl. Based on plant growth responses, three groups of plants were distinguishable. Plants from group I were mycorrhizal and had better growth in non-fumigated than in the fumigated soil. This group was the most important, including sixteen plant species. Stunting of plants from group I following soil fumigation was mainly attribuable to the destruction of mycorrhizae. Plants from group II (oat and wheat) grew equally well in non-fumigated and fumigated soils. For these plants which were mycorrhizal in the non-fumigated plots, the P-content of the soil was sufficient for growth and therefore no stunting was observed in the absence of mycorrhizae. Plants from group III (cabbage and garden beet) grew better in fumigated than in non-fumigated soil. Their better growth in fumigated soil was tentatively attributed to the destruction of soil-borne pathogens. They did not form mycorrhizae in non-fumigated soil. A new method of calculating mycorrhizal dependency is proposed, and the value calculated was named relative field mycorrhizal dependency (RFMD) index. It is also proposed that the acronym RFMD receive a superscript representing in μg/g the quantity of available P in the soil. Carrot with its characteristic root systems had the highest RFMD100 index (99.2%), but other plants with high phosphorus requirements for normal growth had a wide range of RFMD100 index values.

This suggests that the wheat is able to take up nutrients produced or made available by lupins grown in association with it.

    Notes: Summary A greenhouse experiment was carried out comparing the growth of various plant species in non-fumigated, fumigated, and fumigated-inoculated soils. The soil used contained numerous pieces of root of Broom-Corn Millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) that were found intensely colonized by indigenous endomycorrhizal fungi. The soil was fumigated with methyl bromide and the inoculum used was a mixture of VA mycorrhizal root fragment from plants grown in the field from which the soil was collected. Plants used were cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var Copenhagen Market), carrot (Daucus carota L. var. Nantaise), leek (Allium porrum L. var. American Flag), marigold (Tagetes patulus L. var. Golden Boy), tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill. var. Michigan Ohio), sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. Span Cross) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. Glenlea). No phosphorus was added to the soil which contained 93 μg/g of available P (bray II). All plants tested formed mycorrhizae except cabbage. Generally, values of the root endomycorrhizal colonization (REC) index were higher in fumigated-inoculated soil than in non-fumigated soil. Cabbage grew equally well in fumigated and fumigated-inoculated soil, but better than in non-fumigated soil. Cabbage did not form VA mycorrhizae and its better growth in fumigated soil was tentatively attributed to the destruction of soil-borne pathogens and the absence of competition. Wheat grew equally well in the three treatments, because 93 μg/g of available P is sufficient for wheat growth and thus the mycorrhizae were not efficient. The five other plant species used were severely stunted in fumigated soil and the inoculation permitted the reestablishment of normal growth as in non-fumigated soil. Growth stimulation is attributed to the efficiency of VA mycorrhizae since these plants were mycorrhizal in non-fumigated soil and in fumigated-inoculated soil. Stunting of these plants in fumigated soil was due to the destruction of VA mycorrhizae since results show that this stunting cannot be attributed to methylbromide residues in the soil. Moreover soil pH and nutrient content were not markedly changed after fumigation.

    Notes: Summary In two field experiments sown in 1982 to test the effect of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizas (VAM) on growth and phosphorus nutrition of (i) spring wheat and spring barley, (ii) winter wheat and winter barley, we measured the concentrations of the major cation (K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Na+) and anions (Cl−, SO4 2−, H2PO4 − and NO3 −) in shoot tissue. In all cases the sum of the anion concentrations (ΣA) was increased strongly by mycorrhizal infection but not by P additions, confirming earlier observations2 on spring wheat. The concentration of total cations (ΣA) was generally reduced by P additions, hence P and VAM both reduced the cation excess (ΣC−ΣA) but by different mechanisms. These results suggest that increased uptake of anions by plants with VAM may be a general phenomenom which would have important implications for the elemental composition of crops. The effect may also be manifested by other types of mycorrhizal association.

    Notes: Summary Eight semi-natural white clover populations and two cultivars were grown in culture solutions containing 10 ppm and 0.01 ppm phosphorus (P). The rate of P uptake by the intact plants was then measured in solutions containing 10 ppm P. Phosphorus uptake per unit root length was twice as great by plants previously grown at 0.01 ppm P than those grown at 10 ppm P. Large differences in total P uptake were found among populations regardless of the pretreatment; most of this variation was accounted for by differences in root length. Only small differences were found between populations for P uptake per unit root length, and then only after pretreatment with 10 ppm P; this variation was largely accounted for by relative growth rate and shoot %P.

    Notes: Summary To work out efficient utilization and to standardize P requirement of rice-wheat rotation, a field experiment is in progress on Fatehpur loamy sand (Typic, Ustochrepts) soil at PAU Farm Ludhiana, since summer 1977. Soil of the experimental site was non-saline, alkaline, low in available P, N and oxidizable organic matter and medium in available K. Three years' yield data revealed that only wheat responded to fertilizer P in the rotation indicating thereby that 26 kg P ha−1 applied to wheat only, in rice-wheat rotation, was sufficient to meet P requirement of both crops. This suggested that for efficient use and economic returns from fertilizer input, the fertilizer schedule should be worked out in the cropping system rather than on a single-crop basis. To explain the differential response, of rice and wheat to P application, an incubation study under simulated moisture and temperature conditions of the two crop cultures was carried out in the laboratory. Results indicated that high temperature (33±2°C) in combination with high soil moisture content (150 per cent of saturation capacity) representing growth conditions of rice culture increased P availability significantly as compared to its content at low temperature (13±2°C) and soil moisture content of about field capacity (50 per cent of saturation capacity) representing conditions of wheat culture. Application of FYM increased available P under both the situations, however, its impact was more pronounced under conditions of rice culture. But effect of N (urea) application on the P availability of soil under the given situations was not significant.

    Notes: Summary Fertility levels in soils beneathPinus caribaea trees were examined in the Mountain Pine Ridge savannas, Belize, where fire control has precipitated the development of pine woodland. Slight surface soil enrichment was recorded beneath pine canopies, but to levels well below those found beneath associated hardwoods. Estimates of total nutrient pools beneath trees showed modest cation accumulation beneath a 73 year old tree but some defecits in Ca and Mg beneath a 24 year old tree. A tap root cutting experiment on trees of the same species revealed no significant declines in foliar nutrient levels after 19 months. It is concluded that no pronounced long-term deterioration in soil fertility levels is developing beneath stands ofP. caribaea in the savanna, although some temporary nutrient declines may exist beneath young pine stands. Atmospheric inputs are the most likely source of nutrient accretion and it is suggested that the establishment of hardwood associates with pine may enhance the rates of nutrient capture from this source.

    Notes: Summary Under semi-arid conditions, three field experiments were conducted at Gezira Research Station to determine response of irrigated dry-seeded rice (Oryza sativa L. var IR 2053-206-1-3-6) to addition of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers. The experimental treatments included the factorial combinations of seven levels of nitrogen applied as urea and four levels of phosphorus applied as super phosphate. Plant growth and grain yield were significantly and progressively increased with the rise in the levels of added nitrogen and phosphorus. However, response to added phosphorus was restricted by the applied level of nitrogen. The responses of grain yield to nitrogen and phosphorus levels are given by quadratic regression equations. Without addition of nitrogen or phosphorus grain yield averaged 1.52 t/ha compared to 6.07 t/ha with addition of the optimal levels (160 kg N plus 35 kg P/ha). The high potential for rice production in semi-arid environment is evidently restricted by addition of relatively high rates of nitrogen and phosphorus.

    Notes: Summary Effect of amendments, gypsum (12.5 tonnes/ha), farmyard manure (30 tonnes/ha), rice husk (30 tonnes/ha) and also no amendment (control) on the availability of native Fe, Mn and P and applied Zn in a highly sodic soil during the growth period of rice crop under submerged conditions was studied in a field experiment. Soil samples were collected at 0, 30, 60 and 90 days of crop growth. Results showed that extractable Fe (1N NH4OAC pH 3) and Mn (1N NH4OAC pH 7) increased with submergence upto 60 days of crop growth but thereafter remained either constant or declined slightly. Application of farmyard manure and rice husk resulted in marked improvement of these elements over gypsum and control. Increases in extractable Mn (water soluble plus exchangeable) as a result of submergence and crop growth under different amendments were accompanied by corresponding decreases in easily reducible Mn content of the soil. Application of 40 kg zinc sulphate per hectare to rice crop could substantially raise the available Zn status (DTPA extractable) of the soil in gypsum and farmyard manure treated plots while the increase was only marginal in rice husk and control plots indicating greater fixation of applied Zn. Available P (0.5M NaHCO3 pH 8.5) behaved quite differently and decreased in the following order with crop growth: gypsum〉rice husk〉farmyard manure〉control.

    Notes: Summary It has been demonstrated by an agar film technique thatL. albus can cause the breakdown of colloids of iron/silicate, iron/phosphate, aluminium/silicate and aluminium phosphate and destabilise suspensions of manganese dioxide, calcium mono-hydrogen phosphate and ferric hydroxide. Dissolution of these compounds was most marked in areas adjacent to proteoid roots (dense clusters of secondary laterals of limited growth which develop on lateral roots) and parts of the tap root. Soil associated with these regions of the root system contained more reductants and chelating agents than the bulk soil. Soil from around the roots ofL. albus exhibited much greater reducing and chelating activity than that associated with the roots of rape and buckwheat.

    Notes: Summary Soybean plants colonized by the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungusGlomus fasciculatum were grown in pot cultures utilizing a composite greenhouse rooting medium. Development of fungal mycelia inside and outside the host root and total fungal biomass were determined from assays of fungal chitin. Growth and phosphorus uptake by VAM plants and uncolonized controls were compared. Mycotrophic growth in VAM plants occurred during the final six weeks of the 19-week growth period, when the concentration of available soil P fell below 10 μg P/g soil. Growth enhancement was most pronounced in the reproductive organs. The data suggest a relationship between the initiation of the reproductive phase in the host and the cessation of growth in the endophyte. Source-sink relationships and P availability appear to be factors influencing interactions between the symbionts.

    Notes: Summary Concentrations of P, N, K, Ca, and Mg in above-ground tissues ofP. caribaea were sampled in the species'native savanna habitat. Concentrations were relatively low, but some evidence of higher consumption of K and Ca was found in trees grown on more fertile soils. Regressions were developed to predict the quantities of nutrients sequestered in above-ground tree tissues, and estimates made of the quantities stored in above-ground stands of this species in its native habitat and in several plantations elsewhere. Estimates were also made of the nutrient removals to be expected by harvesting these stands in different ways. Nutrient quantities stored in stands generally exceed those extractable from savanna surface soils, and it is suggested that inputs from the atmosphere are the most probable alternate nutrient source. A comparison of these inputs for tropical areas with the quantities required for stand growth in the savanna, and harvesting removals, suggests that an adequate supply of all elements except P exists, provided that capture by pine is effective. However, atmospheric inputs generally fall below the storage and harvest removal rates for fast growing exotic plantations of this species suggesting that multiple rotations of these plantations at current growth rates may not be feasible without artifical fertilization.

    Notes: Summary Laboratory incubation experiments were conducted with three clay loam lowland rice soils (Haplustalf) to study the effect of application of three different levels of Cu(0, 1.25, 2.5 ppm) and Mn (0, 10, 20 ppm) in all possible combinations on the changes in the DTPA extractable Zn, Cu, F, Mn and Brays 2 extractable P in soil. The results showed that application of Cu decreased the content of extractable Zn, Fe, Mn and P in soils, the rate of decrease gradually declining with the progress of incubation period. Application of Mn also depressed the content of extractable Cu, Fe and P but increased that of extractable Zn.
