Nitrogen immobilisation in decaying hardwood leaf litter as a function of initial nitrogen and lignin content.
The lignin content, polyphenols and the overall chemical composition of the crop residue also affects their use as organic manures.
We measured dry weight, pericarp thickness and concentrations of nitrogen, total phenol, condensed tannin, lignin, lipid, starch and total sugar.
The mature mutant testa has reduced amounts of cellulose and lignin as compared to the wild type.
High spectral resolution remote sensing of forest canopy lignin, nitrogen and ecosystem process.
By feeding on plant parts with high lignin content or fibrous tissues, a ruminant fails to assimilate enough protein for its maintenance requirement.
Carbohydrates and lignin of plant materials used in animal production.
The combination of phloroglucinol and hydrochloric acid stains the lignin red and increases visibility of annual rings, particularly in the softer wood of young trees.
