Ecosystem Carbon Stock of Mangroves at the Batticaloa Lagoon, Sri Lanka [PDF]

open access: yesOUSL Journal, 2018
Mangroves play an important role in sequestering organic carbon in tropical and subtropical coastal areas, accounting up to 15% of the total carbon deposited in coastal sediments.

Below-Ground Growth of Alpine Plants, Not Above-Ground Growth, Is Linked to the Extent of Its Carbon Storage

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Understanding carbon allocation in plants is essential for explaining their growth strategies during environmental adaptation. However, the role of mobile carbon in plant growth and its response to habitat conditions is still disputed. In degraded meadow

Assessment of Allometric and Biomass Relationship in Thalassia hemprichii Seagrass as an Environmental Bioindicator

open access: yesJurnal Ilmu Pertanian Indonesia, 2020
Seagrass has long been known to be very sensitive to environmental changes, especially caused by human activities (anthropogenic disturbance) and has been used as a bioindicator for environmental condition.

Quantifying Dynamics in Tropical Peat Swamp Forest Biomass with Multi- Temporal LiDAR Datasets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Tropical peat swamp forests in Indonesia store huge amounts of carbon and are responsible for enormous carbon emissions every year due to forest degradation and deforestation.

Contrasting effects of nutrient enrichment on below‐ground biomass in coastal wetlands [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, 2015
Summary Anthropogenically enhanced nutrient availability is often cited among the most important drivers of altered ecosystem function and loss of services world‐wide. Although the above‐ground consequences of nutrient enrichment on plant growth patterns are numerous and well documented, below‐ground impacts are less clear but nonetheless critical ...

Model-based inference for biomass estimation in a LiDAR sample survey in Hedmark County, Norway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In forest inventories, regression models are often applied to predict quantities such as biomass at the level of sampling units. In this paper, we propose a model-based inference framework for combining sampling and model errors in the variance ...

Below-ground physiological processes enhancing phosphorus acquisition in plants

open access: yes, 2021
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for crop growth and development. In acid soils, inorganic P (Pi) is immobilised with Fe3+ and Al3+, whereas in calcareous soils, it is fixed with Ca2+. Therefore, P nutrition is not constrained by soil P content per

Grazing exclusion reduces below‐ground biomass of temperate subhumid grasslands of South America: A meta‐analysis and a database

open access: yes, 2023
There are several plant below-ground biomass databases for grasslands, but the contribution from the southern hemisphere is minimal. Particularly, no study has compiled the published values of plant below-ground biomass for the temperate subhumid ...
