This study determined the relationship of urease and catalase enzyme activity and nutrient elements related to the use of soil. We identitified urease and catalase enzymes and calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and manganese (Mn) as nutrient elements, and total nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) useful for plants, and exchangeable potassium (K) were identified in soils used...
Air pollution is among the major problems stemming from modern urban life. Millions of people worldwide die from air pollution every year. Especially heavy metals have great importance among these pollutants. Because heavy metals can stay in nature for a long time without deterioration, and their concentration in the environment is constantly increasing. They also tend to bioaccumulate. Many heavy...
The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of yucca (Yucca elephantipes Regel), dieffenbachia (Dieffenbachia amoena Gentil), and spathiphyllum (Spathiphyllum floribundum Schott) as common types of indoor plants on CO₂ levels in the environment. The study was conducted in a closed environment where air inlet/outlet was absent. As a result, the plants were found to affect the level of CO₂...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the tracheobronchoscopic, cytological and microbiological results of tracheal and bronchial collapse in dogs. In total, 8 dogs were included in the study. Clinically, tracheal palpations of the dogs were reflective of tracheal disease, and all dogs coughed on tracheal palpation. Vital parameters and hematological values of the dogs were within the normal ranges...
Lilium martagon L. is a perennial geophyte species belonging to the large Liliaceae family. Its population is at the status of ‘’VU’’ in the Red Data Book of Turkish Plants, and along with many European countries, it is included in Turkey’s list of plants that are endemic and imperiled. This study analyzed the potential of producing Lilium martagon L. with teeth. Four different hormones (IAA: iIndole-3-acetic...
This study aimed at determining the effect of carbon dioxide (CO₂ ) in the internal environment of different indoor plants. Spathiphyllum (Spathiphyllum floribundum Schott), Yucca (Yucca elephantipes Regel), Dieffenbachia (Dieffenbachia amoena Gentil), and Ficus (Ficus benjamina L.) are frequently used in studies of indoor plants that examine light temperature depending on leaf surface and the effects...
Nearly 90% of people’s lives are lived indoors, and their health is affected by the concentrations of CO₂ in these spaces. Carbon dioxide concentrations can rapidly change based on human activity in indoor living spaces. Indoor plants and the concentration of CO₂ in the local environment are factors that influence most people. Plants, depending on the ambient light and temperature conditions, and...
In this study, the effect of water stress on the germination rate of the seeds of nine pieces of species used for landscaping works in Kastamonu is investigated. The seeds of these species have been subject to germination trials with water stress level between 0 and -8 bar and the germination percentages of the seeds have been identified. The water stress was constituted with the use of polyethylene...
The CO₂ cycle on earth in the last 400,000 years shows that CO₂ in the atmosphere increased every 80,000 years and 100,000 years on average and then dropped back later. Although there is 0-0.03% (0-300 ppm) carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the air, it has a vital importance because of its amount and variety. Plants reduce the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere with photosynthesis. But plants cannot do photosynthesis...
