Ectomycorrhizas provide many benefits to their host plants, with enhanced nutrient uptake, growth and establishment in disturbed habitats ranked highly among them.
32.
Results regarding the nutrient uptake capacities of " P . spicata " potassium enriched environments indicate no apparent difference between enriched and controlled soil.
33.
Foliar nutrient uptake during the reproductive stage is increased due to a decrease in root activity, and the ability to modify the nutrient inputs accordingly.
34.
Nutrient uptake in the soil is achieved by cation exchange, wherein root hairs pump hydrogen ions ( H + ) into the soil through proton pumps.
35.
The placenta connects the developing embryo to the uterine wall to allow nutrient uptake, waste elimination, and gas exchange via the mother's blood supply.
36.
Changes in EcM communities can have drastic effects on nutrient uptake and community composition of native trees, which can in turn have far-reaching ecological ramifications.
37.
The oxygen and nutrient uptake in the circulatory system is transported to these swimming muscles rather than to tissues required to pump water over the gills in other teleost fish.
38.
Potential ecological risks associated with this method are the decrease of root systems in wetland plants, reduced nutrient uptake, decreased competitive ability, and increased potential for uprooting.
39.
It has been suggested that many herbivores feed on a variety of plants to balance their nutrient uptake and to avoid consuming too much of any one type of defensive chemical.
40.
However, because of this firmness, angular sands do have the potential to cut into roots, thus inhibiting water an nutrient uptake and leaving the turf susceptible to plant pathogens.
