Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Bioaccumulation and Detoxification Mechanism of Neodymium on the Shoot of Rice SeedlingsKailun Shi, Cheng Kun Liu, Keliang Lyu et al.Neodymium (Nd) potentially pollutes environment for its wide usage in agriculture and industry. In this study, the chemical forms of Nd and effect of Nd on rice shoots were studied after rice seedlings were exposed with 0, 1, 10, 100 and1000 μM Nd. The higher concentration of Nd inhibited shoot growth, but the lower concentration of Nd induced shoot growth. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2021 · 6,291 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessing Forest Plantation Productivity of Exotic and Indigenous Species on Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem Statement: There is general agreement that human activities such as deforestation and land use change to other land use types have contributed to degraded secondary forests or forestland and increases the emission of greenhouse gases which ultimately led to global climate change. An establishment of forest plantation in particular is regarded as an important approach for sequestering carbon. However, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 10,518 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Study on Potentiality of Carbon Storage and CO2 Uptake in the Biomass and Soil of Coppice StandA. Khademi, S. Babaei, A. MatajiProblem statement: Enhancing carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems, especially in the forests, is a key factor in maintaining the atmosphere's carbon balance. With regard to the importance of forest in carbon sequestration, this study attempted to investigate the carbon storage potential and CO2 uptake in oak coppice stand. Approach: After combining slope, aspect and hypsometric maps, the number of land … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,921 accessesView PDF Cite
