Temperate forest termites: ecology, biogeography, and ecosystem impacts
(published online, 2015-03)
Wood decomposition in temperate forests is dominated by termites, fungi,
and some species of ants and beetles. Outside of urban areas, temperate termite ecology
is largely unknown, particularly when compared to tropical ...

Evaluation of Biofertilizers in Irrigated Rice: Effects on Grain Yield at Different Fertilizer Rates
(2012)
Biofertilizers are becoming increasingly popular in many countries and for
many crops, but very few studies on their effect on grain yield have been conducted in rice.
Therefore, we evaluated three different biofertilizers ...
