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

Communities of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Their Effects on Plant Biomass Allocation Patterns in Degraded Karst Grasslands of Southwest China [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
The biomass allocation patterns between aboveground and belowground are an essential functional trait for plant survival under a changing environment. The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities on plant biomass allocation, particularly

Belowground clonal expansion and biomass allocation of Phragmites australis along a sand burial gradient in mobile dunes [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background and aims Sand burial is a dominant physical disturbance in arid dune ecosystems, profoundly altering soil moisture, temperature regimes and mechanical resistance, and thereby constraining belowground plant growth. Rhizomatous clonal plants are

Influence of forest age, tree size, and climate factors on biomass and carbon storage allocation in Chinese fir forests

Ecological Indicators
Biomass and carbon allocation among plant organs are influenced by the individual tree's development and climate conditions. Chinese fir forests play an important role in the carbon cycle and climate change mitigation in China.

Biomass allocation between reproductive and vegetative organs of Artemisia along a large environmental gradient [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Biomass allocation reflects functional tradeoffs among plant organs and thus represents life history strategies. However, little is known about the patterns and drivers of biomass allocation between reproductive and vegetative organs along ...
