The Impact of Livestock Grazing on Soil Characteristics in Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

“…High fungal density was observed in soil samples from the pristine habitat where no indication of negative livestock impacts ( Table 1). Frank et al, (1995) [31] reported that soil microorganisms are important in nutrient biogeochemistry (e.g. decomposition, mineralization, absorption and soil stabilization) and therefore greatly influence the nutrient storage in the soil.…”

Isotopic composition of soil, vegetation or cattle hair no suitable indicator of nitrogen balances in permanent pasture

“…Especially gaseous N losses are related with a large fractionation. Thus, ammonia volatilisation has been found to cause enrichment of remaining soil N in grasslands with 15 N (Frank et al 1995). Nitrous oxide produced during nitrification or denitrification is also depleted in 15 N relative to its substrate (Webster and Hopkins 1996;Yoshida 1988), unless it is further reduced to N 2 , leading to an enrichment of nitrous oxide and depletion of N 2 .…”

Effects of land‐use regimes on carbon sequestration in the Loess Plateau, northern China

“…The C storages were expressed in g C m-2 . Because the exclosures were at one location and not replicated, we followed the approach of Frank et al (1995) and considered each of the three plots a replication of summary statistics. Values from all sampling points within each plot were averaged.…”
