Below-ground carbon inputs contribute more than above-ground inputs to soil carbon accrual in a bioenergy poplar plantation
(Springer, 2019-01)
Background and aims: Soil organic carbon (SOC) accrual is central to the discussion on active atmospheric CO2 removal strategies, but it requires a clear understanding of the mechanisms driving new SOC formation. SOC is ...
Biomass, decomposition and nutrient cycling in a SW Atlantic Sarcocornia perennis marsh
(Elsevier, 2015-03)
Biomass dynamics, decomposition and nutrient cycling were studied in a Sarcocornia perennis salt marsh in the Bahia Blanca estuary (Argentina) to achieve a better understanding of these processes and provide information ...
Disparate responses of above- and belowground properties to soil disturbance by an invasive mammal
(Ecological Society of America, 2014-04-04)
Introduced mammalian herbivores can negatively affect ecosystem structure and function if they introduce a novel disturbance to an ecosystem. For example, belowground foraging herbivores that bioturbate the soil, may alter ...
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 ...
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 ...
Allometric relations for biomass partitioning of Nothofagus antarctica trees of different crown classes over a site quality gradient
(Elsevier, 2010-03)
Data on tree biomass are essential for understanding the forest carbon cycle and plant adaptations to the environment. We determined biomass accumulation and allometric relationships in the partitioning of biomass between ...
Genetic variation within a dominant shrub structures green and brown assemblages and ecosystem processes
(Ecological Society Of America, 2014-02)
Two rising challenges in ecology are understanding the linkages between above- and belowground components of terrestrial ecosystems and connecting genes to their ecological consequences. Here, we blend these emerging ...
