In recent years there has been a growing awareness of escalating problems in European urban areas caused partly by economic and technological changes in the European and global economies. The most visible representation of these changes has been a gr... Read More about The emerging 'Urban Agenda' and the European spatial development perspective: Towards an EU urban policy.

The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the transfer of nutrients between white clover and perennial ryegrass (2001)
Journal Article
Scott Laidlaw, A., Rogers, J. B., Rogers, J., Laidlaw, A. S., & Christie, P. (2001). The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the transfer of nutrients between white clover and perennial ryegrass. Chemosphere, 42(2), 153-159. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0045-6535%2800%2900120-X

A glasshouse experiment was conducted in which 15N was used as a tracer applied as (15NH4)2SO4 to donor plants of white clover and perennial ryegrass. Nitrogen transfer via hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) or by other routes was studied b...
