Use of Detergents in the Analysis of Fibrous Feeds. II. A Rapid Method for the Determination of Fiber and Lignin
TLDR
The acid-detergent fiber method (ADF) as mentioned in this paper is a fiber method based on cetyl trimethylammonium bromide to dissolve proteins in acid solution.Abstract:
The capacity of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide to dissolve proteins in acid solution has been utilized in development of a method, called acid-detergent fiber method (ADF), which is not only a fiber determination in itself bnt also the major preparatory step in the determination of lignin. The entire procedure for determining fiber and lignin is considerably more rapid than presently published methods. Compositional studies show ADF to consist chiefly of lignin and polysaccharides. Correlations with the new fiber method and digestibility of 18 forages (r = —0.79) showed it to be somewhat superior to crude fiber (r = —0.73) in estimating nutritive valué. The correla-read more

Turnover of grain legume N rhizodeposits and effect of rhizodeposition on the turnover of crop residues
TL;DR: The recovery of residual 15N in the microbial and mineral N pool was similar between the treatments containing only labelled crop residues and labelled rhizodeposits, indicating a similar decomposability of both rhizdeposition N and crop residue N and may be attributable to an immobilisation of both N sources as microbial residues and a subsequent remineralisation mainly from this pool.

Optimization of thermal acid hydrolysis for bioethanol production from Ulva rigida with yeast Pachysolen tannophilus
TL;DR: Results indicate a potential use of the macroalgae U. rigida for bioethanol production from hydrolysate of green seaweed Ulva rigida, and suggest a high reducing sugars yield.

Stellera chamaejasme L. increases soil N availability, turnover rates and microbial biomass in an alpine meadow ecosystem on the eastern Tibetan Plateau of China
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of Stellera on carbon and nitrogen cycling in two topographic habitats, a flat valley and a south-facing slope, where Stelleria was favored to spread within the study area were quantified.

Production of alkanes (C7-C29) from different part of poplar tree via direct deoxy-liquefaction.
TL;DR: The oils obtained from three parts of poplar tree were quite different from each other in the relative contents of their compositions, while oil from wood was rich in phenolics and poor in hydrocarbons.

Forest diversity effects on insect herbivores: do leaf traits matter?

TL;DR: The results show that leaf trait variation across the diversity gradient might promote associational resistance, but these patterns are driven by an increase in the relative abundance of heterospecifics rather than by tree species richness per se.
