High yielding biomass genotypes of willow (Salix spp.) show differences in below ground biomass allocation [PDF]
Willows (Salix spp.) grown as short rotation coppice (SRC) are viewed as a sustainable source of biomass with a positive greenhouse gas (GHG) balance due to their potential to fix and accumulate carbon (C) below ground. However, exploiting this potential has been limited by the paucity of data available on below ground biomass allocation and the extent

Below-ground biomass in healthy and impaired salt marshes [PDF]
Twelve salt marshes in south Louisiana (USA) were classified as either ‘impaired’ or ‘healthy’ before a summer sample collection of above‐ and below‐ground biomass and determination of sediment accretion rates. The above‐ground biomass of plant tissues was the same at both impaired and healthy salt marshes and was not a good predictor of marsh health ...

Above and Below Ground Biomass and Carbon Stock in Permanent Grasslands of Slovakia
This paper aimed to monitory the dry matter biomass production and carbon stocks of above-and below-ground biomass in five types of grasslands in Slovakia: i) lowland oversowed pasture ii) lowland hay meadows, iii) mesophilous pasture, iv) mountain hay ...

What lies beneath: Predicting seagrass below-ground biomass from above-ground biomass, environmental conditions and seagrass community composition [PDF]
Seagrass condition, resilience and ecosystem services are affected by the below-ground tissues (BGr) but these are rarely monitored. In this study we compiled historical data across northern Australia to investigate biomass allocation strategies in 13 ...

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

Allometric models for above- and below-ground biomass of Sonneratia spp.
Allometric models are needed to estimate the stored carbon stocks in a mangrove forest ecosystem (blue carbon). Nevertheless, the development of allometric models for above- and below-ground biomass models for Sonneratia spp. species specifically has not

Below- and above-ground biomass, structure and patterns in ancient lowland coppices [PDF]
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

The accurate estimation of tree above-ground (AGB) and below-ground (BGB) biomass components and their root/shoot ratio play key roles in stand and country-level forest biomass and carbon stock estimation.
