abstract

Abstract Not Available – First paragraph follows:

Recent studies indicate that nodules on the roots of deerbrush—Ceanothus integerrimus—supply this species with a source of nitrogen and might greatly improve growth of the plant, especially in soils where nitrogen is a limiting factor.

author notes

The above reported studies are a part of a project conducted cooperatively by the University of California and the California Department of Fish and Game under Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act Project 51-R.
