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 Allocation and Leaf Morphology of Saplings Grown under Various Conditions of Light Availability and Competition Types [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Plant growth is almost always limited by light availability and competition. However, plants are generally plastic and can change their morphology and biomass allocation to optimize growth under suboptimal conditions.

Nitrogen fixation and fertilization have similar effects on biomass allocation in nitrogen‐fixing plants [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPlants adjust their allocation to different organs based on nutrient supply. In some plant species, symbioses with nitrogen‐fixing bacteria that live in root nodules provide an alternate pathway for nitrogen acquisition.
