Abstract
Background: Soil salinity is a significant problem in arid and semi-arid Mediterranean regions. In this study, the effects of salinity on nitrogen mineralisation of Pinus pinaster, Pinus pinea and Eucalyptus camaldulensis soils from the Eastern Mediterranean coasts of Turkey were determined.
Material and Methods: Nitrogen mineralisation (NH4+ + NO3-) of all samples was determined by the Parnas-Wagner method over 42 days at 28°C and under constant moisture.
Results: NO3--N production (mg kg-1) of E. camaldulensis soil was significantly higher than P. pinaster and P. pinea on days 11 and 42 (P
Conclusions: It is possible to conclude that nitrogen mineralisation of saline soils can be affected by the composition of different plants.
期刊介绍:
EurAsian Journal of BioSciences (Abbrev. Eurasia J Biosci or EJOBIOS) is an international, refereed electronic journal. It publishes the results of original research in the field of biological sciences restricted tomorphology, physiology, genetics, taxonomy, ecology and biogeography of both prokaryotic and eucaryotic organisms. The journal encourages submission of manuscripts dealing with plant biology, animal biology, plant physiology, microbiology, hydrobiology, ecology and environmental science, ethnobiology, biodiversity and conservation biology. EurAsian Journal of BioSciences publishes original articles in the following areas: -Agriculture, Fisheries & Food -Anatomy & Morphology -Behavioural Sciences -Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology -Biophysics -Biology Education -Cellular Biology and Anatomical Sciences -Ecology, Evolution & Environment -Entomology -Forestry -General Biology -Genetics & Heredity -Life Sciences - Other topics -Microbiology and Immunology -Molecular Biology -Mycology -Palaeontology -Parasitology -Pharmacology & Pharmacy -Physiology and Related Sciences -Plant Sciences -Toxicology -Veterinary Sciences -Virology -Zoology
