Changes of Aboveground and Belowground Biomass Allocation in Four Dominant Grassland Species Across a Precipitation Gradient

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Climate change is predicted to affect plant growth, but also the allocation of biomass to aboveground and belowground plant parts. To date, studies have mostly focused on aboveground biomass, while belowground biomass and allocation patterns have ...

Remote Sensing Estimates of Grassland Aboveground Biomass Based on MODIS Net Primary Productivity (NPP): A Case Study in the Xilingol Grassland of Northern China

Remote Sensing, 2014
The precise and rapid estimation of grassland biomass is an important scientific issue in grassland ecosystem research. In this study, based on a field survey of 1205 sites together with biomass data of the Xilingol grassland for the years 2005–2012 and ...

The Arctic Plant Aboveground Biomass Synthesis Dataset. [PDF]

Sci Data
AbstractPlant biomass is a fundamental ecosystem attribute that is sensitive to rapid climatic changes occurring in the Arctic. Nevertheless, measuring plant biomass in the Arctic is logistically challenging and resource intensive. Lack of accessible field data hinders efforts to understand the amount, composition, distribution, and changes in plant ...

MODIS Based Estimation of Forest Aboveground Biomass in China. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Accurate estimation of forest biomass C stock is essential to understand carbon cycles. However, current estimates of Chinese forest biomass are mostly based on inventory-based timber volumes and empirical conversion factors at the provincial scale ...

Field experiments underestimate aboveground biomass response to drought [PDF]

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2022
AbstractResearchers use both experiments and observations to study the impacts of climate change on ecosystems, but results from these contrasting approaches have not been systematically compared for droughts. Using a meta-analysis and accounting for potential confounding factors, we demonstrate that aboveground biomass responded only about half as ...

Effects of plant diversity and big-sized trees on ecosystem function in a tropical montane evergreen broad-leaved forest

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionScale dependencies play a vital role in defining the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationship in forest ecosystems, which varies based on the magnitude of multiple plant diversity attributes, soil properties, and aboveground biomass in

Estimating the Aboveground Biomass of Bornean Forest [PDF]

Biotropica, 2014
AbstractWe apply a process‐based model, called 3‐PG (physiological principles for predicting growth), to estimate aboveground biomass for the primary forests of Borneo. Using publicly available soil and climate data, and parameterized with physiological traits of Bornean forest, the modeled aboveground biomass and basal area showed statistically ...

Relationship between aboveground biomass and environmental factors of typical karst secondary forest in Tianlong Mountain, central Guizhou

Guangxi Zhiwu, 2023
In order to explore the relationship between the aboveground biomass of karst secondary forest land and environmental factors, we took the typical secondary forest sample of karst Tianlong Mountain in Puding County, Central Guizhou as the research object,

Modelling the scaling of belowground biomass with aboveground biomass in tropical bamboos

Trees, Forests and People, 2021
Abstract Bamboo forests cover approximately 1% of the total global forest area and thus hold great potential in climate change mitigation. Quantifying the contribution of bamboo forests to ecosystem level carbon storage is challenging because it is composed of a complex system of rhizomes and roots.
