These mosses are thought to be preferred because of their usability and relatively high nitrogen content.
Yeheb grows on soils, which have a low nitrogen content.
'We're testing for nitrogen content, sir,' one of the men explained.
They published a paper together on the nitrogen content of potatoes.
The plants had to establish a nutrient cycle that would allow the nitrogen content of the sand to increase.
At the time of harvest, seeds show high nitrogen (N) contents.
A different technique determined the nitrogen content, he said.
If the brain and muscles relied entirely on glucose, the body would lose 50% of its nitrogen content in 8-10 days.
As a general rule, manures are considered to be low in nitrogen content.
Kjeldahl method: A measure of nitrogen content in a sample.
