57 Citations | This CO2 response may explain why roots of desert succulents tend to occur in porous, well-aerated soils. |
| Thus, CAM-cycling may be an important adaptation minimizing water loss by perennial succulents growing in shallow soil on rock outcrops. | |
Open access•Journal Article | Because seeds germinate and plants proliferate in transplant gardens with non-calcic soils, bedrock and soil chemistry do not appear to be determinant components of endemism. |
Open access•Journal Article 16 Citations | Converting of soil from bacteria type to fungi type may be an important characteristic of PCC soil. |
56 Citations | Overall, our results show that the type and rate of organic transplant media amendment can strongly influence transplant quality and subsequent crop performance in the field as well as rhizosphere bacterial communities long after seedlings are transplanted to field soil. |
| These findings may prove to be common among rock outcrop succulents. | |
31 Dec 2020 | In addition, It can be recommended that they can be used in rock gardens, in collections of succulents etc., since they have adapted to different environments such as stony rocky habitats, steep slopes and arid soil conditions. |
13 Citations | This experiment also indicated that the ranking order of species differed with the soil type, suggesting the need to use more than one soil type in screening experiments in order to obtain a better and more reliable ranking of species for tolerance to acid soil. |
49 Citations | However, the effects of soil transplant on microbial communities were dampened by maize cropping, unveiling a negative interaction between cropping and transplant. |
10 Citations | However, it is important to have adequate soil moisture at transplanting to insure adequate transplant establishment. |

What soil needed for pechay?5 answersPechay requires specific soil conditions for optimal growth. Different studies have highlighted the importance of organic amendments and fertilizers in enhancing the growth and yield of pechay. Organic amendments such as swine manure, chicken dung, mudpress, and vermicast have been found to increase microbial decomposition, nitrogen mineralization, and organic material content in the soil, leading to improved growth and yield of pechay. Additionally, the use of commercial compost fertilizer and effective microorganisms (E.M.) has been recommended for higher growth and yield of pechay. Compost with microbial inoculation, specifically with nitrogen-fixing bacteria and cellulolytic fungi, has also been shown to promote the growth of pechay. Furthermore, bio-organic fertilizers such as fermented plant and fruit juice (FPJ and FFJ) have been found to positively affect the growth and development of pechay, with higher application levels yielding better results. Finally, the combination of Bio-Forge fertilizers with other growth stimulants and mineral fertilizers has been shown to significantly stimulate plant growth and increase yield in pechay.
What are the adaptations of succulents compared to other plants?5 answersSucculent plants have evolved various adaptations compared to other plants. These adaptations include leaf succulence, where plants store water in their leaves to sustain metabolism during droughts. Succulent plants also exhibit physical modifications in their organs such as leaves, stems, and roots to increase water storage. They have low stomatal densities, allowing them to conserve water and avoid water stress. Some succulent plants have evolved C4 and CAM metabolisms, which enhance their water-use efficiency and enable them to extend their growth into the dry season. Additionally, succulent plants have evolved different reproductive strategies, such as precocious flowering and adaptations in pollination and seed dispersal, to cope with harsh desert conditions. These adaptations make succulent plants well-suited for survival in xeric environments.
What are the different types of soil?5 answersThe different types of soil mentioned in the abstracts are Human-made soils, Organic soils, Andosols, Podzols, Fluvic soils, Red-Yellow soils, Stagnic soils, Eutrosols, Brown Forest soils, Regosols. Additionally, the abstracts mention red soils, black soils, sandy soils, and loamy soils. The abstracts also discuss the classification of soil types based on physical and chemical properties using satellite images, including alluvial, black, desert, and red soils. Another classification of soil types mentioned is Clay, Black, Alluvial, and Red soils. The abstracts also mention the soil types in Iceland, which include Andosols, Histosols, Vitrisols, and other soils. Andosols in Iceland are further classified into Brown Andosols, Gleyic Andosols, and Histic Andosols based on carbon content and drainage. Sandy, Cambic, and Pumice Vitrisols are also mentioned as soil types in Iceland.
What are the Soil types suitable for pepper cultivation?5 answersPepper cultivation is suitable in different soil types. The use of natural zeolite clinoptilolite as a soil additive combined with olive mill waste (OMW) sludge improved soil properties and produced good results in terms of substrate and leachate properties. Bell pepper fruit characteristics and weed incidence were positively affected by the use of black polyethylene film and biodegradable film as soil coverings. Aerated subsurface drip irrigation (ASDI) was found to enhance the growth parameters of pepper in different soil types, with the recommended ASDI patterns varying depending on the soil type. Ecological intensification practices, such as the use of cover crops and reduced tillage, can also improve soil conditions for pepper cultivation. Additionally, a nutrient soil mixture containing garden soil, coconut powders, organic fertilizers, biological fertilizers, and grass ash was found to be beneficial for pepper seedling growth.
How does the type of soil onlyaffect the growth of onions?5 answersThe type of soil can affect the growth of onions. Onions are demanding on soil fertility, and a high yield is obtained on light fertile sandy and loamy soils with a pH of 6-7. In a study conducted on clay loam soil, it was found that the treatment of 50% N through FYM + 50% N through vermicompost resulted in significantly higher yield and quality of onions compared to other treatments. Another study evaluated the effect of irrigation water with different electrical conductivity levels on onion growth and found that an increase in salinity of the irrigation water led to a reduction in onion growth variables. Additionally, onions grown in arsenic-contaminated soil showed high levels of arsenic in the roots and low levels in the bulbs and leaves, indicating reduced transport of arsenic from roots to bulbs and leaves. Overall, the type of soil can impact onion growth and yield, and factors such as soil fertility, irrigation water quality, and soil contamination can influence onion growth and nutrient uptake.
