Below-ground herbivory mitigates biomass loss from above-ground herbivory of nitrogen fertilized plants [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractHerbivorous insects can influence grassland ecosystem functions in several ways, notably by altering primary production and nutrient turnover. Interactions between above- and belowground herbivory could affect these functions; an effect that might be modified by nitrogen (N) addition, an important global change driver. To explore this, we added

Ozone-induced reductions in below-ground biomass: an anatomical approach in potato [PDF]
Plant, Cell & Environment, 2010 Potato plants were grown in open-top chambers under three ozone concentrations during two complete cropping seasons (93 and 77 d in 2004 and 2005, respectively). The effects of chronic exposure to ozone on leaf anatomy, cell ultrastructure and crop yield were studied.

Impact of Ex-Closure in above and below Ground Carbon Stock Biomass [PDF]
Forests, 2021 Globally, there is a serious issue in carbon stock due to high deforestation and the loss of land, limited carbon storage pools in aboveground and underground forests in different regions, and increased carbon emissions to the atmosphere. This review paper highlights the impact of exclosures on above and below ground carbon stocks in biomass as a ...

Carbon sequestration potential of trees from urban green spaces of Kolhapur city, Maharashtra, India
Environmental & Socio-economic Studies, 2023 This study was an investigation into the carbon storage and sequestration of trees grown in the green spaces of Kolhapur city, Maharashtra. Urban gardens and green spaces, mainly considering big trees, have a great potential to sequester carbon from the ...

International Journal of Plant Biology, 2023 Estimation of carbon (C) stocks revealed a very high carbon sequestration potential of mangroves, which play a major role in the global C cycle. The C stored in the biomass of live trees can be estimated from above- and below-ground measurements, i.e ...

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

Above- and below-ground competition in high and low irradiance: tree seedling responses to a competing liana Byttneria grandifolia [PDF]
, 2008 : In tropical forests, trees compete not only with other trees, but also with lianas, which may limit tree growth and regeneration. Liana effects may depend on the availability of above- and below-ground resources and differ between tree species.

Implications of contrasted above- and below-ground biomass responses in a diversity experiment with trees [PDF]
, 2020 While tree diversity has been proven to enhance above‐ground forest biomass in many instances, the effect on below‐ground biomass has often been neutral, or even negative.
