Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleContrasting Effects of Metal Contaminations and Soil Liming on Cations Exchange Capacity and Global DNA Methylation in Betula papyrifera Populations from a Mining RegionGabriel Theriault, Kabwe NkongoloThe Greater Sudbury Region in Northern Ontario (Canada) has been one of the most contaminated regions in the world. Soil liming with dolomitic limestone applications has decreased significantly the level of soil acidity resulting in forest regeneration. This reclamation process does not affect the level of soil metal contamination but results in metals availability decrement. The coping mechanisms of birch … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2016 · 7,535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHEAVY METAL ANALYSIS IN RED OAK (QUERCUS RUBRA) POPULATIONS FROM A MINING REGION IN NORTHERN ONTARIO (CANADA): EFFECT OF SOIL LIMING AND ANALYSIS OF GENETIC VARIATIONAnh Tran, K. K. Nkongolo, M. Mehes-Smith et al.Understanding the dynamic of metals in soil and plants and population diversity in Northern Ontario is essential in determining progress toward ecosystem sustainability in reclaimed sites. The objectives of the present study were to assess the levels of metal content in soils and their accumulation in red oak plants from limed and unlimed sites. Genetic variation in red oak populations … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 25 Jun 2014 · 7,732 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEFFECT OF LIMING AND FERTILIZER APPLICATION IN HEMIC AND SAPRIC OF TROPICAL PEAT: PHOSPHORUS MINERALIZATION, INFRA-RED SPECTROSCOPY AND MICROSCOPYAmeera Abdul Reeza, Aminuddin Hussin, Ahmad Husni Mohd Hanif, Mohd Aspollah Md. SukariThis study was conducted to investigate the changes in nutrient level P as well as in the structural and functional groups upon the decomposition of Hemic and Sapric peat material due to application of lime and fertilizers. The peat materials were left to decompose for 8 weeks under laboratory incubation and samples were taken for the determination of extractable P … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2014 · 8,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCharacterization of Fungal Communities in Limed and Unlimed Lands Contaminated with Metals: Phospholipid Fatty Acid (PLFA) Analysis and Soil RespirationKassandre Goupil, Kabwe K. Nkongolo, Sabah NasserullaNorthern Ontario (Canada) especially the Greater Sudbury region is highly known for its nickel, copper and other metal deposits. The mining, roasting and smelting of these elements have caused disastrous effects on the vegetation and overall environment. Dolomitic lime which contains calcium and magnesium carbonate was applied to soils from 1980 to 1995 at different locations across Northern Ontario. The … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2015 · 8,094 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsASSESSING SOIL RESPIRATION AS AN INDICATOR OF SOIL MICROBIAL ACTIVITY IN RECLAIMED METAL CONTAMINATED LANDSKassandre Goupil, Kabwe NkongoloMining, roasting as well as smelting of these elements have caused sulphur dioxide fumigations and metal particulate depositions which have led to various detrimental effects on the overall environmental quality of the Greater Sudbury region. Soil amendment and revegetation within the Greater Sudbury Region were initiated to restore the damage land. Several methods have been used to assess the progress … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 11 Jul 2014 · 8,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesResearch and Development for the Hurdle Avoidance During Transplanting Manipulation Based on Kinect Vision ProcessingKaikang Chen, Yanwei Yuan, Bo Zhao et al.To avoiddamage to plants during the transplanting process, a transplanting method basedon the combination of the Kinect machine visual system and the low-damagetransplanting end effector was proposed to reduce the damage to the stems andleaves from transplanting end effectors during the transplanting process. Theinclined manipulator was designed can avoid the characteristics of the seedlingitself during the transplanting process to avoid … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 9 Nov 2022 · 5,449 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesMulti-Feature Recognition of Healthy Vegetable Seedlings Based on Machine Vision TechnologyKaikang Chen, Yongkun Fu, Yongjun Zheng et al.The quality of potted seedlings has an important influence on the yield of vegetables during seedling raising and transplanting. The inconsistency of potted seedlings after transplanting is the main factor causing the decline in vegetable quality and yield. To eliminate or reduce this influence, the health test of potted vegetable seedlings before transplanting is particularly important to ensure crop yield. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2022 · 6,245 accessesView PDFCite
