Using aboveground vegetation attributes as proxies for mapping peatland belowground carbon stocks
(Elsevier, 2019)
Peatlands are key reservoirs of belowground carbon (C) and their monitoring is important to assess the rapid changes in the C cycle caused by climate change and direct anthropogenic impacts. Frequently, information of ...
Grazing increases below-ground biomass and net primary production in a temperate grassland
(Springer, 2015-07)
Background and aims: Grazing can affect the stock and flow of C between above and below-ground vegetation layers. Components of below-ground stratum are one of the less studied. The goals of this research were: 1) to ...
Impacts of pine plantations on carbon stocks of páramo sites in southern Ecuador
(2021)
ackground: Since the 1990’s, afforestation programs in the páramo have been implemented to offset carbon emissions through carbon sequestration, mainly using pine plantations. However, several studies have indicated that ...
Effects of long-term grazing disturbance on the belowground storage of organic carbon in the Patagonian Monte, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2014)
The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of grazing disturbance on the amount and the spatial distribution (vertical and horizontal) of root biomass and soil organic carbon (SOC) in order to evaluate whether ...
Fire promotes functional plant diversity and modifies soil carbon dynamics in tropical savanna
(2022-03-15)
Fire is an evolutionary environmental filter in tropical savanna ecosystems altering functional diversity and associated C pools in the biosphere and fluxes between the atmosphere and biosphere. Therefore, alterations in ...
Above- and belowground biomass and nutrient pools of Spartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) in a South American salt marsh
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012-08)
In order to examine the role of position in the tidal range on biomass production and nutrient pools in Spartina alterniflora in an Argentinian estuary, we estimated productivity and the concentration of C, N and P in ...
Biomassa e produtividade subterrânea no cerrado: relações com solo, topografia e fogo
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosBRUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERN, 2014-07-11)
Plant biomass and productivity are ecological properties that affect community functioning. The belowground biomass of cerrado is underestimated and, therefore, it is important that we know how it is related to biotic and ...
Physiognomic changes in response to herbivory increase carbon allocation to roots in a temperate grassland of central Argentina
(Springer, 2019-08)
In most temperate grasslands, cattle grazing can promote physiognomic changes on plant communities, as well as changes in species growth patterns. Through these changes in vegetation, cattle grazing can generate changes ...
