See comment in PubMed Commons belowNature. 2001 Jan 11;409(6817):188-91.Nitrogen limitation of microbial decomposition in a grassland under elevated CO2.Hu S1, Chapin FS 3rd, Firestone MK, Field CB, Chiariello NR.Author information1Department of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley 94720, USA. shuijin_hu@ncsu.eduAbstractCarbon accumulation in the terrestrial biosphere could partially offset the effects of anthropogenic CO2 emissions on atmospheric CO2. The net impact of increased CO2 on the carbon balance of terrestrial ecosystems is unclear, however, because elevated CO2 effects on carbon input to soils and plant use of water and nutrients often have contrasting effects on microbial processes. Here we show suppression of microbial decomposition in an annual grassland after continuous exposure to increased CO2 for five growing seasons. The increased CO2 enhanced plant nitrogen uptake, microbial biomass carbon, and available carbon for microbes. But it reduced available soil nitrogen, exacerbated nitrogen constraints on microbes, and reduced microbial respiration per unit biomass. These results indicate that increased CO2 can alter the interaction between plants and microbes in favour of plant utilization of nitrogen, thereby slowing microbial decomposition and increasing ecosystem carbon accumulation.PMID: 11196641 DOI: 10.1038/35051576 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] SharePublication Types, MeSH Terms, SubstancesPublication TypesResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov'tResearch Support, U.S. Gov't, Non-P.H.S.MeSH TermsAtmosphereBiodegradation, EnvironmentalBiomassCarbon Dioxide/metabolism*Environmental Microbiology*Nitrogen/metabolism*Poaceae/metabolism*SoilSoil MicrobiologySubstancesSoilCarbon DioxideNitrogenLinkOut - more resourcesFull Text SourcesNature Publishing GroupOvid Technologies, Inc.Other Literature SourcesCOS Scholar UniverseMiscellaneousCarbon dioxide - Hazardous Substances Data BankNitrogen, Elemental - Hazardous Substances Data BankPubMed Commons home

This is a 40-50 years old hand knotted genuine Persian area rug with 100% wool pile, which is in very good (abrash) condition. Hand Knotted rugs are among the cognoscenti' & accumulators' dearies, as every knot of the rug is honed by a skilled weaver's hands, without any machine's interference. The quality of a hand-knotted carpet are determined by the number of knots per square inch, as some fine weaves can take up to a year to create a single 10 x 13 master-piece. 100% Wool is the primary material used to create these prized possessions that are usually placed in a well-deserving high-price space. Hand-Knotted rugs can hold up high traffic for more than 20 years, hence are a popular choice for hallways, living rooms, offices etc. These fine examples of craftsmanship silently tell the tale of a weaver's traditional legacy.
