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 ...
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 ...
Differential root and shoot biomass recovery in wheat and barley with transient waterlogging during preflowering
(Springer, 2017-08)
Aims: Wheat and barley plants exposed to waterlogging reduced their growth, but the final impact on grain yield depends on the capacity of the plant to recover after stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate shoot and ...
PLASTICITY OF BIOMASS COMPONENT ALLOCATION PATTERNS IN SEMIARID TAMAULIPAN THORNSCRUB AND DRY TEMPERATE PINE SPECIES OF NORTHEASTERN MEXICO
(Polibotánica Núm. 31, pp. 117-137, México, 2011, 2011)
The question of how plant communities
respond to variation in the availability of
resources in the environment was answered
by testing the hypotheses of true adjustments
and ontogenetic drift in biomass allocation
patterns. ...
Below-ground biomass and productivity of a grazed site and a neighbouring ungrazed exclosure in a grassland in central Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2004-04)
We estimated the below-ground net plant productivity (BNPP) of different biomass components in an intensively and continuously 45-ha grazed site and in a neighbouring exclosure ungrazed for 16 years for a natural mountain ...
Vertical distribution of root biomass and soil carbon stocks in forage cropping systems
(Springer, 2018-02)
Background and aims:
Forage cropping systems may differentially affect the vertical distribution of roots and soil organic C stock (C-OM). In annual crops sequences (ACS) and perennial pastures (PP), we assessed the ...
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 ...
Stump and coarse root biomass from eucalypt forest plantations in a commercial-scale operation for bioenergy
(2020-11-01)
Bioenergy can contribute to low-carbon economy of Latin-America and African countries, where the biomass is a viable alternative to obtain a global energy matrix. The harvesting forest residue left on the ground of industrial ...
Early arbuscular mycorrhiza colonization of wheat, barley and oats in Andosols of southern Chile
(SOC CHILENA CIENCIA SUELO, 2012)
Mixing Eucalyptus and Acacia trees leads to fine root over-yielding and vertical segregation between species
(2013-07-01)
The consequences of diversity on belowground processes are still poorly known in tropical forests. The distributions of very fine roots (diameter <1 mm) and fine roots (diameter <3 mm) were studied in a randomized block ...
