The study of the energy potential of forest bedding in the deciduous forest areas of the “Lisnyky” Nature Reserve of the Holosiivsky National Nature Park revealed the nonlinear nature of its annual dynamics. The main sources of replenishment of the organic stock of this component of broadleaf forest phytocoenosis were the active development of herbaceous vegetation in spring and significant leaf rainfall in autumn. At the same time, significant changes in the processes of accumulation and decomposition of organic matter of forest bedding occurred under the influence of climatic factors such as temperature and precipitation. The experimental site was located in moderately moist oak forest ass. Convallario majali-Quercetum roboris Shevchyk & V. Sl. in Shevchyk & al. 96. The age of the old Quercus robur oak trees, which occupy the first tier of the forest, exceeds 100 years. The second tier is formed by other broadleaf species, Acer platanoides, A. campestre, A. tataricum, Carpinus betulus, Fraxinus excelsior and Tilia cordata, up to 30 years old. The energy reserve was calculated from the dry organic matter content. The obtained data were compared with  meteorological data of the corresponding month of the year and correlation coefficients were calculated. Correlation analysis confirmed the relationship between climatic factors and the energy potential of forest bedding. The inverse of the mean force (R = -0.515) shows the relationship between the energy potential of the forest bedding and the average monthly temperature and the high direct correlation between the energy potential and the amount of average monthly precipitation (R = 0.755). In general, forest bedding can be considered an important component of the ecosystem, which responds quickly to external factors and characterizes the state of the forest ecosystem, and its energy potential can be an effective indicator of forest ecosystem stability in climate change monitoring.

The Relationship

Eight grasses and six legumes were fed ad libitum at hourly intervals to wethers fitted with large rumen fistulas to determine voluntary intake, apparent digestibility, and the apparent retention time of organic matter in the rumen, as well as the quantity of rumen digesta and the organic matter content of the rumen digesta. The voluntary intake of legumes was 28% higher than that of equally digestible grasses. This difference was caused by a shorter retention time (17%) and a higher amount of organic matter (14%) in the rumen digesta from legume diets than from grass diets. The weight of wet digesta in the rumen of sheep fed on legumes was 7% lower than from those fed on grass. Neither the quantity of digesta nor the quantity of organic matter in the rumen was related to the voluntary intake, digestibility, or retention time of organic matter in the rumen. Number of jaw movements each day and rate of cotton thread digestion were not related to the retention time of the diets either. Daily intake of digestible organic matter (DOMI, g/day) was closely correlated with retention time (RTOM, hr) for the feeds in this study (r = –0.93) and the same relation applied to both temperate and tropical feeds, viz. DOMI = 1276–50.7 RTOM (r=0.96) Differences in voluntary intake between grasses and legumes were attributed to differences in retention time and the density to which the food was packed in the rumen.

The Relationship

Estimates of the metabolisable energy (ME) content of whole crop wheat (WCW) derived using measured energy losses as methane (ELMm) are lacking due to the cost of measuring ELMm. Published ME values of WCW are largely calculated using predicted energy losses as methane (ELMp, Blaxter and Clapperton, 1965) or digestible organic matter content (DOMD) in vivo. However, there appears to be no published information about the accuracy with which DOMD in vivo or ELMp predicts the ME content of WCW. Therefore, this study assessed the validity of such ME predictions by comparing them with ME contents calculated using ELMm.

This study describes the relationship between mollusks, physicochemical properties of seawater, and sediments under natural conditions of low impact. Thirty-nine stations were sampled in October 1994 using a Van Veen grab (0.1 m−2). Temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations of bottom water were obtained with a CTD. Organic matter content and sediment grain analysis were determined. A total of 836 mollusks were collected. Gastropoda was the most abundant (52%) and diverse class with 27 genera, followed by Bivalvia with eight genera and Scaphopoda with only one genus. According to CCA analysis, dominant mollusks were significantly related with high DO concentrations.Donax,Natica,Acteocina,Bulla,Anachis,Odostomia, andCrucibulumcan be classified as sensitive genera because they were found mainly in high oxygen concentrations (3.1–5.6 mL L−1); on the other hand,Cardiomya,Nuculana,Laevicardium,Chione,Truncatella, andDentaliumcan be classified as tolerant genera (1.0–5.6 mL L−1). Todos Santos Bay hosts a diverse malacological fauna (36 genera); our results show that the dominant genera were mainly related to high dissolved oxygen concentrations. Mollusks can be a useful tool in environmental monitoring programs related with oxygen depletion in coastal areas.

Abstract Dynamic changes in soil organic matter content affects the sustainable supply of soil water and fertilizer and impacts the stability of soil ecological function. Understanding the spatial distribution characteristics of soil organic matter will help deepen our understanding of the differences in soil organic matter content, soil formation law; such understanding would be useful for rational land use planning. Taking terrain data, meteorological data, and remote sensing data as auxiliary variables and the ordinary Kriging (OK) method as a control, this study compares the spatial prediction accuracies and mapping effects of various models (MLR, RK, GWR, GWRK, MGWR, and MGWRK) on soil organic matter. Our results show that the spatial distribution trend of soil organic matter predicted by each model is similar, but the prediction of composite models can reflect more mapping details than that of unitary models. The OK method can provide better support for spatial prediction when the sampling points are dense; however, the local models are superior in dealing with spatial non-stationarity. Notably, the MGWR model is superior to the GWR model, but the MGWRK model is inferior to the GWRK model. As a new method, the prediction accuracy of MGWRK reached 47.72% for the OK and RK methods and 40.08% for the GWRK method. The GWRK method achieved a better prediction accuracy. The influence mechanism of soil organic matter is complex, but the MGWR model more clearly reveals the complex nonlinear relationship between soil organic matter content and factors influencing it. This research can provide reference methods and mapping technical support to improve the spatial prediction accuracy of soil organic matter.

The Relationship

Adsorption of non-ionized organic chemicals from aqueous solution by 17 Australian soils was related to the organic matter content of the soils. The soil organic matter/water distribution (Kom) for each chemical was similar in all soils and could be predicted from the octanol/water distribution (Kow) of the chemical. The relationship between these two distributions, log Kom = 0.52log Kow, + 0.69, is similar to that reported for European and North American soils.

The Relationship

The available boron content of the genetic horizons of eight Ontario soils was determined using a hot-water extraction and a sunflower test. The available boron was highest in the surface horizons and decreased in the zones of eluviation to a level equal to or lower than that in the parent material. The content in the horizons was generally higher than that in the C horizons.The water-soluble boron was closely related to the organic matter content in a quadratic regression (R2 = 0.691). When pH and clay content were included in regressions, a positive organic matter × pH component was the single most important variable, explaining 64.4% of the variability. Additional terms involving clay content and pH did not greatly increase the R2 value.
