Strategies to persist in the community: Soil seed bank and above-ground vegetation in Patagonian pine plantations
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-04)
Questions: In terms of biodiversity conservation, forest plantations are often considered problematic because they usually have negative effects on natural ecosystems. Soil seed banks could play an important role in restoring ...
Contribution of different sources and origins of nitrogen in above- and below-ground structures to the partial nitrogen balance in soybean
(Springer, 2022-04)
Aims: Most studies that quantified the biological N fixation (BNF) and partial N balances of soybean have ignored the belowground structures. Our objectives were to evaluate the contribution of belowground structures to ...
Variation in biomass allocation and root functional parameters in response to fire history in Brazilian savannas
(2021-01-01)
Fire is a fundamental ecological factor in savannas because it affects vegetation dynamics and ecosystem functioning. However, the effects of fire on below-ground compartments, including biomass and root traits, and their ...
Ground Movements due to Shallow Tunnels in Soft Ground. II: analytical interpretation and prediction
(ASCE-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2013-04)
This paper considers the practical application of analytical solutions for estimating ground movements caused by shallow tunneling in soft ground using closed-form expressions presented in a companion paper based on linearly ...
Decomposition in tropical forests: a pan-tropical study of the effects of litter type, litter placement and mesofaunal exclusion across a precipitation gradient
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009)
1. Litter decomposition recycles nutrients and causes large fluxes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It is typically assumed that climate, litter quality and decomposer communities determine litter decay rates, yet ...
Biomass and dominance of conservative species drive above-ground biomass productivity in a mediterranean-type forest of Chile
(2019)
BackgroundForest productivity has a pivotal role in human well-being. Vegetation quantity, niche complementarity, mass-ratio, and soil resources are alternative/complementary ecological mechanisms driving productivity. One ...
Above-ground biomass accumulation and growth in a marginal nothofagus macrocarpa forest in Central Chile
(2010)
Nothofagus macrocarpa forests are situated in the northern limit
of Nothofagus genus distribution in South America. Data related
to their growth conditions are insufficient. Above-ground biomass
accumulation and growth ...
Above- and below-ground net primary productivity across ten Amazonian forests on contrasting soils
(Copernicus Publications, 2009)
The net primary productivity (NPP) of tropical forests is one of the most important and least quantified components of the global carbon cycle. Most relevant studies have focused particularly on the quantification of the ...
