Mowing Modulates the Biotic Filter of Expansive Species. [PDF]
Management type and expansive species influence plant community diversity in complex ways. Overall increase of expansive species cover acts as biotic filter in reducing the alpha and beta taxonomic and phylogenetical diversity. However, the filtering effect is modulated by management type, being more intense under mown grasslands.

Biodiversity loss disrupts seasonal carbon dynamics in a species-rich temperate grassland. [PDF]
Abstract Biodiversity loss poses a significant threat to ecosystem functioning. However, much of the empirical evidence for these effects is based on artificial experiments that often fail to simulate the structure of natural communities. Hence, it is still unclear whether natural diversity losses would significantly affect the functioning of “real ...

Climate Change-Induced Landscape Alterations Increase Nutrient Sequestration and Cause Severe Oligotrophication of Subarctic Lakes. [PDF]
Warming of the Arctic regions stimulates plant growth and the storage of nutrients in plant biomass. Long‐term increases in plant biomass (greening) in the Swedish Arctic/alpine ecoregion were linked to the dramatic declines in nutrient concentrations in downstream lakes.

Root system size of alfalfa varieties under different plant densities
The field experiment was established from pre-grown alfalfa sprouts in 2008. In 2009 and 2010, the harvest was carried out. The yield and the root size system (RSS) were evaluated in the total of five cuts.

REMOTE SENSING METHODS FOR PHYTOMASS ESTIMATION AND MAPPING OF TUNDRA VEGETATION
Mapping of above-ground phytomass provides a baseline for monitoring climate-induced changes, especially in the northern regions. This is important for practical applications, such as assessing quality of pastures and defining reindeer migration routes ...

Above-ground phytomass and below-ground biomass production of Salvia verbenaca Linné
Salvia verbenaca L. est une herbacée rudérale très commune dans la région méditerranéenne. Ses fleurs sont très prisées pour des raisons esthétiques. Cette espèce présente un degré d’adaptation important pour des habitats pauvres en ressources. L’objectif de cette étude a consisté à analyser la production de la phytomasse et de la biomasse racinaire ...

Vegetation in the Arctic is often sparse, spatially heterogeneous, and difficult to model. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has shown some promise in above-ground phytomass estimation at sub-arctic latitudes, but the utility of this type of data is not ...
