Stand structure adjustment influences the biomass allocation in naturally generated Pinus massoniana seedlings through environmental factors [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The natural regeneration of seedlings is a key factor for forest succession. Nevertheless, studies explaining the mechanism of growth and biomass allocation in regenerated seedlings after disturbance are lacking.

Different biomass allocation strategies of geophytes and non-geophytes along an altitude gradient
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Biomass allocation strategies among geophytes and non-geophytes generally determine the ecological adaptation and impacts of herbaceous plants. Although geophytes and non-geophytes are key components of the biodiversity of subtropical forest ecosystems ...

Biomass allocation in response to salinity and competition in native and invasive species
Ecosphere, 2022 Biomass allocation to different plant parts affects the subsequent capture rate of resources and reproduction. Thus, many studies have been conducted on the biomass allocation to learn growth, reproduction, and competitive ability of plants. However, few

Biomass and its allocation of Chinese forest ecosystems [PDF]
Ecology, 2014 Forest biomass and its allocation have long been considered important in forest ecosystem structure and function. However, discrete forest biomass data and its allocation to various forest components must be standardized to explore many ecological questions, e.g., plant allometric scaling laws, biomass allocation theory, and terrestrial carbon cycling.

Allometry and phylogeny of within-diaspore biomass allocation: A global analysis. [PDF]
Biol LettAllometry, the study of size and its effects on biological traits, provides a quantitative and predictive framework for the evolution of plant allocation strategies. While most studies focus on scaling relationships between distinct structures (e.g., leaves, stems, and roots), the allometry within reproductive structures remains underexplored. Here, we
