Above- and below-ground biomass and carbon dynamics in Brazilian Cerrado wet grasslands
(2013-03-01)
Questions: Grasslands are usually neglected as potential carbon stocks, partially due to the lack of studies on biomass and carbon dynamics in tropical grasslands. What is the importance of Brazilian tropical wet grasslands ...
Rapid formation of adventitious roots and partial ethylene sensitivity result in faster adaptation to flooding in the aerial roots (aer) mutant of tomato
(Elsevier Science, 2016-03)
The frequency of extreme events such as droughts and floods has increased as a consequence of climate change. Many crops have not been improved to tolerate soil anoxia and, therefore, floods cause important economic losses. ...
Germination, initial growth, and biomass allocation in three native Cerrado species
(Sociedade Botânica de São Paulo, 2012)
The parameters of germination, initial growth, and biomass allocation of three native plant species of Cerrado (Copaifera langsdorffii, Dipteryx alata and Kielmeyera coriacea) were established. The species had germination ...
Production and turnover rates of shallow fine roots in rangelands of the Patagonian Monte, Argentina
(Springer Tokyo, 2012-01)
Selective sheep grazing in arid rangelands induces a decrease in total cover and grass cover and an increase in the dominance of shrubs. Both life forms differ in aboveground and belowground traits. We hypothesized that ...
Temporal asynchrony in fine-root biomass may contribute to shrub and grass coexistence in mixed patches
(Wiley, 2014-01-15)
We described seasonal changes in fine-root biomass of a grass and a shrub dominant species in a plant community characteristic of the arid Patagonian Monte and then we inferred to want extent the observed differences could ...
Root biomass analysis in different forest types: research advances in the Chilean radiata pine forestAnálisis de la biomasa de raíces en diferentes tipos de bosques. Avances en la evaluación de Pinus radiata en Chile
(Universidad Austral de Chile, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales., 2005)
Decomposition and nutrient release of grass and tree fine roots along an environmental gradient in southern Patagonia
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-03)
Decomposition of fine roots is a fundamental ecosystem process that relates to carbon (C) and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, this important ecosystem process has been hardly studied in Patagonian ...
