, and saccharides ( Pereira, 1988 ). These compounds give cork unique properties such as high elasticity and low permeability to liquids. Because of these physical properties, cork has a wide range of traditional applications, such as in green buildings
properties. As there were no differences between the activity groups on measures of social support and physical activity level, other components of allotment gardening have been considered as possible causes of the lower stress levels in this group. It could
break down plant and animal materials into more available forms suitable for application to the soil ( USDA, 2016 ). There are no compost use quality guidelines in the NOP that address the physical, chemical, and biological properties of compost for

Root substrates may be composed of a single component or they may be composites that contain multiple components blended together to provide suitable physical and chemical properties as required by the specific crop and cultural conditions ( Bunt
to physical properties such as particle size and porosity. Because WholeTree is manufactured it can also be produced with a consistent quality over time. The objective of the research presented here was to evaluate three WholeTree substrates made
unscreened pine bark was also retained. Physical properties The substrate static physical properties, including air space (AS), container capacity (CC), total porosity, and bulk density, were measured via the North Carolina State University porometer
Aging is characterized by a decrease in complex functional abilities related to the physical, psychological, cognitive, and social aspects of life ( Brandtstädter and Greve, 1994 ). In addition, muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical fitness
( Deepagoda et al., 2013 ). Physical properties of substrate, such as particle size, are a key factor of growing medium selection ( Bohne and Wrede, 2005 ). Growing bolboschoenus ( Bolboschoenus planiculmis ) seedlings in homogeneous-sized quartz particles
reducing substrate transportation costs associated with peat-lite (PL) substrate. Subsequent work has demonstrated that a 100% PTS could be manufactured that possesses the same physical properties (percentage of water holding capacity and percentage of air
