multiple shoot-bud formation and plantlet regeneration on castanea sativa mill. seeds in culture.	primordial initiation and development of shoot-buds has been accomplished by using shoots derived from chestnut (castanea sativa mill) seedlings cultured with added 6-benzylaminopurine (bap). germination of chestnut seeds in the presence of bap (4 - 40 μm) stimulated varying numbers of shoot-buds in those areas of the main axis that were favorably altered. when excised single shoots from these treated seeds were subcultured on a fresh medium containing bap (4 - 40 μm) continual shoot production ...	1982	24259134

the breakdown and decomposition of sweet chestnut (castanea sativa mill.) and beech (fagus sylvatica l.) leaf litter in two deciduous woodland soils : ii. changes in the carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and polyphenol content.	changes in the carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and polyphenol content of chestnut and beech leaves were measured during the first year after fall.chestnut leaves had an initial carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen content (by weight) of 48.71%, 5.56% and 0.77% respectively; beech had a similar carbon and hydrogen content (47.77% and 5.36%) but less nitrogen (0.56%).both leaf litter types showed percentage increases in nitrogen content during the study period but only the beech showed absolute increases in n ...	1973	28308231
the breakdown and decomposition of sweet chestnut (castanea sativa mill.) and beech (fagus sylvatica l.) leaf litter in two deciduous woodland soils : i. breakdown, leaching and decomposition.	weight losses from sweet chestnut and beech leaves, attributable to biotic and abiotic breakdown processes, leaching and microbial decomposition have been studied using tethered leaves and litter bags. the experimental sites were two adjacent areas of deciduous woodland. in one area (the castanea site) a mor-like moder humus form has developed under a stand dominated by coppiced chestnut, in the other a mull-like moder underlies a stand of coppiced beech (the fagus site).chestnut leaves in the c ...	1973	28308230
food, feeding rates and assimilation in woodland snails.	analyses of the faeces of seven species of woodland, litterdwelling snails (marpessa laminata, clausilia bidentata, oxychilus cellarius, o. alliarius, discus rotundatus, arianta arbustorum and hygromia striolata), showed that all feed predominently on higher plant material, be it living or dead. h. striolata and a. arbustorum took more chlorophyll-containing plant material than the other species, d. rotundatus had a significant amount of fungus in its faeces, while the faeces of o. cellarius and ...	1970	28309717
