To make clear whether Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) plantation is limited by soil phosphorus (P) supply in southeast Horqin sand land and to find out the best leaf indicator of soil P supply, the concentrations of total P, inorganic P and organic P in the needles of different age of P. sylvestris var. mongolica and the soil available P were analyzed. The results showed that in the study area, soil available P was rather low (0.12-0.63 mg x kg(-1)), and had significant correlations with the inorganic P (cPi) and total P (cPt) concentrations in the current-year needles of P. sylvestris var. mongolica. The significant correlation between soil available P and needle cPt derived from the significant correlation between cPi and cPt. Compared with cPt, cPi could reflect the level of soil P supply more accurately and directly.

This study aims to identify the optimal conditions-host, plant material, seasonality, and agricultural practices-for isolating and developing a collection of culturable endophytic microorganisms to support sustainable L. cultivation. Samples were collected from three Sicilian olive cultivars ('Nocellara del Belice', 'Nocellara Etnea', and 'Nocellara Messinese') and six wild olive accessions across different phenological phases and under organic and conventional agronomic management.

Zeller, 1846 (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is a significant genus whose species primarily infest coniferous trees and are predominantly distributed across the Northern Hemisphere. To date, 17 species within this genus have been recorded in China. This study reports the discovery of (Heinemann, 1863) in China.

Afforestation with var. in northern China is hindered by soil degradation. This study evaluated a ternary amendment combining sewage sludge (SS), cattle manure (CM), and maize straw (MS) to rehabilitate degraded sandy soils in the Horqin Sandy Land.

To investigate the carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry of the litter-root-soil system and the driving factors for their variations in the var. plantations, we analyzed the contents and stoichiometric ratios of organic carbon, total nitrogen and total phosphorus in litter, roots and soil across 27-year-old (middle-aged), 38-year-old (nearly-mature) and 47-year-old (mature) plantations in Hulunbuir sandy land, with natural forests as a control. The results showed that with increases of stand age, N and P contents showed a trend of decreasing and then increasing in the decomposing layer of the litter, and the C:N and C:P in semi-decomposing layer were significantly higher in near-mature than in middle-aged and mature plantations.
