  1. DECOMPOSITION IN PELAGIC MARINE ECOSYSTEMS

    DECOMPOSITION IN PELAGIC MARINE ECOSYSTEMS

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Journal of the Limnological Society of Southern Africa • Authors: M.I. Lucas --- Zoology Department, South Africa
    During the decomposition of plant detritus, complex microbial successions develop which are dominated in the early stages by a number of distinct bacterial morphotypes. The microheterotrophic community rapidly becomes heterogenous and may include cyanobacteria, fungi, yeasts and bactivorous protozoans.
  2. Effect of conventional and organic orchard floor management practices on enzyme activities and microbial counts in a ‘Cripp's Pink’/M7 apple orchard

    Effect of conventional and organic orchard floor management practices on enzyme activities and microbial counts in a ‘Cripp's Pink’/M7 apple orchard

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: André H Meyer --- Agricultural Research Council–Infruitec-Nietvoorbij, South Africa John Wooldridge --- Agricultural Research Council–Infruitec-Nietvoorbij, South Africa Joanna F Dames --- Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology, South Africa
    Organic (ORG) production practices are increasingly being used in South African apple orchards. Whether ORG orchard floor management practices differ in their effects on soil enzyme activities and microbial populations from conventional (CON) practices have not been adequately investigated, particularly...
