Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Chemical Gazette, or Journal of Practical Chemistry, in All Its Applications to Pharmacy, Arts and Manufactures, 1855, Vol. 13
IN the first portion of the present memoir, the author shows that plants continue to grow as usual in a confined portion of air, without renewal, provided the soil contains all the constituents necessary for their growth. The second part has reference to the question, whether a plant surrounded by air in a state of constant renewal absorbs nitrogen. The third part treats of the amount of nitrogen taken up by plants growing in the open air, but sheltered from rain and removed to a considerable distance from the ground.
