Topics: General / Technical / Logistical / Ordering / Past Research
In what types of research have the PRS™-probes been used?
Over the past 12 years, the utility of the PRS™-probes have supported their use worldwide in a number of different research scenarios ranging from measuring nutrient turnover following manure amendments to a surrogate measure of earthworm toxicity in heavy metal-contaminated soil. The utility of the PRS™-probes is well established and has been detailed in over 100-refereed scientific papers and over 50 post-graduate theses to date.
Research Scenario using PRS™-probes
| Agriculture
|
Fertilizer, manure, cover corps and compost amendments involving a wide range of annual and perennial crops, pasture systems, as well as in vegetable and fruit productions.
|
| Forestry
|
LTSP sites, harvesting and site preparation effects, disturbance regimes, interspecific competition, ‘undisturbed’ vs. disturbed sites.
|
| Ecology
|
LTER sites, soil nutrient dynamics as affected by global climate change and urbanisation; grassland ecosystem studies including: fire and grazing disturbances and biological control agent effects on plant species richness and diversity; invasive species.
|
| Environmental
|
