Carbon fluxes in a mature deciduous forest under elevated CO₂ [PDF]
This PhD thesis addressed several major aspects of the carbon (C) cycle in a c. 100-year-old, mixed deciduous forest under elevated CO₂ with an emphasis on below-ground processes.

A dataset of spatial biomass of different types of natural grasslands in Xinjiang (2000-2023)
Xinjiang, located in the heart of Central Asia, features a variety of grassland types, with distinct characteristic. However, upscaling limited observational biomass data to regional spatial datasets poses significant challenges.

BEHAVIOR OF LEGUMINOUS TREES INOCULATED WITH ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI
The effect of the inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on the growth of two legume trees (Cassia leiandra and Chamaecrista desvauxii) was evaluated. The experimental design was completely randomized with four treatments and twenty-five repetitions.

Benthic biomass size spectra in shelf and deep-sea sediments [PDF]
The biomass distributions of marine benthic metazoans (meio- to macro-fauna, 1 µg–32 mg wet weight) across three contrasting sites were investigated to test the hypothesis that allometry can consistently explain observed trends in biomass spectra ...

Non-destructive allometric estimates of above-ground and below-ground biomass of high-mountain vegetation in the Andes [PDF]
Aim: Studies that monitor high‐mountain vegetation, such as paramo grasslands in the Andes, lack non‐destructive biomass estimation methods. We aimed to develop and apply allometric models for above‐ground, below‐ground and total biomass of paramo plants.

Abstract Seagrasses are important ecosystem engineers that maintain biodiversity and modify the abiotic and biotic environment. At present, we are lacking a wider understanding of the functional traits that predict seagrass biomass stock, whether trait‐biomass associations vary across multispecies seagrass habitats, and which biodiversity mechanisms ...
