Modeling Compatible Single-Tree Aboveground Biomass Equations of Masson Pine (Pinus massoniana) in South China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In the background of facing up to the global climate change, it is becoming the inevitable demand to add forest biomass estimation to national forest resource monitoring.

Sustainable Plant‐Based Water Repellent Coatings Using Hydrophobic Pine and Palm Pollen

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A novel formulation strategy for creating superhydrophobic coatings using plant‐derived waxes and chemically treated pine and palm pollen. By employing acid modification, the hydrophobicity of the pollen surface is enhanced, resulting in water contact angles exceeding 150°.

Carbon storage in old hedgerows: The importance of below‐ground biomass

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy
Ambitious climate change mitigation goals require novel carbon (C) sinks in agricultural systems. Thus, the establishment of new hedgerows is increasingly attracting attention as a C sequestration measure.

Interannual Variation in Root Production in Grasslands Affected by Artificially Modified Amount of Rainfall

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2012
The effect of different amounts of rainfall on the below-ground plant biomass was studied in three grassland ecosystems. Responses of the lowland (dry Festuca grassland), highland (wet Cirsium grassland), and mountain (Nardus grassland) grasslands were ...

Effects of soil compaction on seedling morphology, growth, and architecture of chestnut-leaved oak (Quercus castaneifolia)

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2017
Soil compaction following traffic by heavy-timber harvesting machinery usually causes an increase in soil strength, that is a stress factor negatively affecting the growth of newly germinated seedlings.

Below-ground microbial community development in a high temperature world.

open access: yes, 1999
The response of above-ground plant and ecosystem processes to climate change are likely to be influenced by both direct and indirect effects of elevated temperature on soil biota and their activities.

Smart Antibacterial Coatings: Harnessing Bacterial Redox Activity for Infection Control

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
In this study, we have shown that ceftazidime‐loaded poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT@CAZ) functions as a smart, redox‐responsive antibacterial coating that couples bacterial electrical activity with localized antibiotic delivery. Shewanella oneidensis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa induced distinct redox responses in PEDOT, reflecting their ...

Decomposition of stump and root systems of Norway spruce in Sweden [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The demand for quantifying the biomass of stumps and roots and the carbon stored therein is related to aspects of biodiversity, site productivity, atmospheric carbon cycling issues, and the demand for bioenergy.

Ground penetrating radar: a case study for estimating root bulking rate in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

open access: yesPlant Methods, 2017
Background Understanding root traits is a necessary research front for selection of favorable genotypes or cultivation practices. Root and tuber crops having most of their economic potential stored below ground are favorable candidates for such studies ...

Below- and above-ground growth of Eucalyptus nitens in a young plantation I. Biomass

open access: yes, 1998
The relative distribution of below- and above-ground biomass in an Eucalyptus nitens plantation was studied under a set of five fertilizer regimes. In addition to a control (unfertilized) treatment, N and P fertilizers were applied at a ratio of 2:1 with
