DIVERSITY OF MYCORRHIZAL PLANT SPECIES AND ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI IN EVERGREEN FOREST, DECIDUOUS FOREST AND GRASSLAND ECOSYSTEMS OF SOUTHERN CHILE

In the Valdivian rainforest region of the Southern Chilean Andes three main ecosystems are found: Primary evergreen forests, secondary deciduous forests, and grassland areas.The secondary forest and the grasslands are habitually the result of the clearance of the primary forest some 60 years ago.The secondary forest consists mainly of the deciduous

Abstract Background Macrophages play a central role in inflammation by phagocytosing invading pathogens, apoptotic cells and debris, as well as mediating repair of tissues damaged by trauma.In order to do this, these dynamic cells generate a variety of inflammatory mediators including eicosanoids such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes and hydroxyeico

Protozoa grazing of nitrifiers is important process in activated sludge process that leads to decrease of mass of active bacteria.In classical models Handbags this process is included in decay processes.Such approach makes modelling of influence of protozoa grazing on nitrifiers impossible.In cases when maximization of nitrifiers growth is importan
