    Long-term tillage and rotation effects on soil microbial biomass, carbon and nitrogen (1987)

    Notes: Summary Three mollisols, typical of the Palouse winter wheat region of eastern Washington and northern Idaho, were analyzed for microbial biomass, total C and total N after 10 years of combined tillage and rotation treatments. Treatments included till, no-till and three different cereal-legume rotations. All crop phases in each rotation were sampled in the same year. Microbial biomass was monitored from April to October, using a respiratory-response method. Microbial biomass, total C and total N were highest under no-till surface soils (0–5 cm), with minimal differences for tillage or depth below 5 cm. Microbial biomass differences among rotations were not large, owing to the relative homogeneity of the treatments. A rotation with two legume crops had the highest total C and N. Microbial biomass was significantly higher in no-till surface soils where the current crop had been preceded by a high-residue crop. The opposite was true for the tilled plots. There was little change in microbial biomass over the seasons until October, when fresh crop residues and rains had a strong stimulatory effect. The seasonal pattern of biomass in no-till surface soils reflected the dry summer/winter rainfall climate of the region. The results of this study show that numerous factors affect soil microbial biomass and that cropping history and seasonal changes must be taken into account when microbial biomass data are compared.

    Mistletoes: a hypothesis concerning morphological and chemical avoidance of herbivory (1986)
    Springer
    Oecologia 70 (1986), S. 234-237

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Leaves from many misletoe species in Australia strongly resemble those of their hosts. This cryptic mimicry has been hypothesized to be a means of reducing the likelihood of mistletoe herbivory by vertebrates. Leaf Kjeldahl nitrogen contents (a measure of reduced nitrogen and thus amines, amino acids and protein levels) of mistletoes and their hosts were measured on 48 mimetic and nonmimetic host-parasite pairs to evaluate hypotheses concerning the significance of crysis versus noncrypsis. The hypothesis that mistletoes mimicking host leaves should have higher leaf nitrogen levels than their hosts is supported; they may be gaining a selective advantage through crypsis (reduced herbivory). The second hypothesis that mistletoes which do not mimic their hosts should have lower leaf nitrogen levels than their hosts is also supported; they may be gaining a selective advantage through noncrypsis (reduced herbivory resulting from visual advertisement of their reduced nutritional status).

    Nitrogen contribution to wetland rice by green manuring with Sesbania spp. in an alkaline soil (1988)
    Springer

    Topics: Biology , Geosciences , Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, Nutrition
    Notes: Summary Two annual species of Sesbania, S. aculeata and Sesbania sp. PL Se-17, were field evaluated as green manure for wetland rice in an alkaline soil. The two species were raised as a catch crop during summer in a wheat-rice rotation, and added as 24.7 and 20.8 t ha−1 of green matter, 116 and 98 kg N ha−1, respectively, after 45 days of growth. For the optimum green manuring effect on rice grain yield and N uptake, S. aculeata required 5 days of decomposition (after turning in and before rice transplantation), whereas no decomposition period was necessary for Sesbania sp. PL Se-17. The effect on grain yield and N uptake of rice was equivalent to an application of 122 and 78 kg ha−1 of chemical N, for the two species, respectively. There was no residual effect of the green manuring on the soil N status after rice harvest.

    ISSN: 1573-0867
    Keywords: Nitrogen ; nitrogen isotopes ; fertilizers ; 15N balance

    Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, Nutrition
    Notes: Abstract Calculations in nitrogen (N) balance research using15N involve several steps that require care to avoid errors. The objective of this paper is to provide examples of these calculations using established procedures and to present shortened alternative calculations that give the same result. The calculations examined include determination of the amount of N to apply, determination of the atom %15N abundance needed in the labeled fertilizer, preparation of the labeled fertilizer, and calculation of the fertilizer N recovered. Calculations needed in the preparation of the labeled fertilizer using established procedures include the determination of the mean atomic weight of the enriched source from which the labeled fertilizer is prepared. This determination is not needed in the shortened alternative calculations, because the procedure places the calculations on a mole basis rather than a mass basis.

    The effect of shoot growth stage of Pinus contorta and Pinus sylvestris on the growth and survival of Panolis flammea larvae (1987)
    Springer

    ISSN: 1432-1939
    Keywords: Panolis flammea ; Pinus ; Phenological coincidence ; Nitrogen ; Tannins
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Young Panolis flammea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae were unable to survive on the mature (one-year old) needles of Pinus contorta and Pinus sylvestris. Larval growth and survival on the current year's shoots of the 2 pine host plants first incresed, and then decreased as pine shoot development progressed, the effect on survival being more marked at 10° C that 18° C. The survival of larvae on lodgepole pine on field-grown plants transferred to 10° C rose from 26% in March to 87% in mid May, and rose from 3% to 82% on Scots pine in the same period. Larval survival exceeded 70% for about 8 weeks on lodgepole pine and about 6 weeks on Scots pine, this period starting and ending earlier on lodgepole than on Scots pine. The nitrogen, water and phosphorus contents of both pines were at a maximum in May and decline gradually thereafter; the soluble tannin content showed a more complex pattern. These results are discussed in relation to the possible importance of phenological coincidence on the population dynamics of P. flammea with emphasis on its greater abundance on lodgepole pine in Scotland.

    The performance of the pine beauty moth on water-stressed lodgepole pine plants: a laboratory experiment (1986)
    Springer

    ISSN: 1432-1939
    Keywords: Nitrogen ; Panolis flammea ; Pinus contorta ; Plant-herbivore-interaction
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary A laboratory experiment was done to see whether artificially induced waterlogging, or water shortage in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) would affect the egg laying preference, larval survival and larval growth of Panolis flammea. Female moths showed no egg laying preference between unstressed and stressed plants. Larval survival was greater on unstressed (85%) than on stressed (32%) plants, and the weight of larvae reared on unstressed plants was significantly greater than those reared on stressed plants. These results imply that outbreaks of the pine beauty moth on trees growing in deep unflushed peat are not caused by a stress-induced improvement in the nutritional quality of the host-plant.

    The chemical composition of pine foliage in relation to the population dynamics of the pine beauty moth, Panolis flammea, in Scotland (1989)
    Springer
    Oecologia 78 (1989), S. 251-258 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1939
    Keywords: Panolis flammea ; Pinus ; Nitrogen ; Phosphorus ; Tannins
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    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.

    Notes: Summary To test the prediction that P. rapae egg densities increase with N fertilizer in large-scale systems as they do in model systems with potted plants, we used field experiments with Brassica oleracea var. acephala L. (collards and kale) planted in pots or large field plots, and treated with different levels of nitrogen fertilizer. In small-scale field experiments with potted kale and collards, egg densities were significantly higher on plants with high N than those with low N. But in larger scale experiments with field-grown collards, average seasonal P. rapae egg densities were not significantly correlated with leaf N content. These differences among experiments did not depend on the magnitude of the difference in foliage N levels.

    Seasonal allocation of dry mass and nitrogen in a fynbos endemic Restionaceae species Thamnochortus punctatus Pill. (1987)

    ISSN: 1432-1939
    Keywords: Allocation patterns ; Restionaceae ; Nitrogen ; Dry mass ; Fynbos
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary The annual growth pattern of male plants of the endemic, dioecious fynbos species, Thamnochortus punctatus, revealed sequential growth of the various below-and above-ground organs. Root and rhizome development were favoured in the wet winter months while culm elongation occurred in the warmer but drier spring to summer period. The reproductive phase of development followed in the hot dry summer and autumn. The asynchronous pattern of growth is suggested to enable the plant to maximize utilization of scarce resources within the confines of the environmental controls determined by the mediterranean-climate. Maximum root and rhizome activity in the rainy season enabled the plant to absorb and store nitrogen in mature culms for later above ground organ development. As the absorption of nitrogen from senscing material is essential for this pattern of organ development to assist in alleviating nutrient scarcity the high degree of nitrogen reabsorption, 35 to 70% for branches and culms respectively, shows the potential importance of asynchronous organ growth in overcoming nitrogen limitation of plant growth. Comparisons of dry mass and nitrogen allocation patterns indicate that developmental strategies employed by evergreen, perennial plants in climatically and edaphically constrained environments cannot be deduced from biomass allocation patterns alone as they do not appear to reflect strategies evolved to overcome nutrient limitation.

    Notes: Summary We studied the decay and nitrogen dynamics of little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) litter in fertilized and unfertilized Minnesota old fields, using the litterbag technique. Annual decay rates and nitrogen leaching losses during the first month of decay were highly correlated with N content of litter and not with fertilizer additions. After the first month of decay, nitrogen was immobilized for at least 18 months. In contrast to decay rates and early N leaching losses, these immobilization rates were correlated with the amount of ammonium nitrate added in fertilizer rather than with initial %N. Therefore, litter quality and exogenous nitrogen supply appear to have different and independent effects on decay rates and N dynamics of little bluestem litter.
