Below- and above-ground biomass, structure and patterns in ancient lowland coppices
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2017 Ancient coppice woods are areas that reflect long-term human influence and contain high species biodiversity. In this type of forest we aimed to: (i) analyze the below- and above ground biomass of stools and estimate the age of largest stool; (ii) define

Uncertainty in below-ground carbon biomass for major land covers in Southeast Asia [PDF]
Forest Ecology and Management, 2013 Abstract Owing to difficulties associated with measuring root biomass accurately in space and time, below-ground root biomass is often calculated indirectly from above-ground biomass measurements via general allometric equations. Of concern is that general equations may not provide accurate site-specific calculations for accurate carbon stock ...

Spatial distribution of forest biomass carbon (Above and below ground) in Indian forests
Ecological Indicators, 2018 Abstract Forest carbon (C) estimates are the key inputs to the understanding of the global C cycle. We report the estimates of forest carbon pool and its spatial distribution in the Indian forests for the years 1994 and 2010 at 5 km grid level. This study improves upon earlier spatial estimates of Indian forest biomass carbon by using data from a ...

The 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 ...

Grazing increases below-ground biomass and net primary production in a temperate grassland
Plant and Soil, 2015 Grazing can affect the stock and flow of C between above and below-ground vegetation layers. Components of below-ground stratum are one of the less studied. The goals of this research were: 1) to characterize and estimate the vertical distribution of below-ground biomass in grazed and ungrazed areas during a growing season, and 2) to evaluate grazing ...

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

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