Pattern and control of biomass allocation across global forest ecosystems
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 AbstractThe underground part of a tree is an important carbon sink in forest ecosystems. Understanding biomass allocation between the below‐ and aboveground parts (root:shoot ratios) is necessary for estimation of the underground biomass and carbon pool.

BIOMASS ALLOCATION IN AN AGROPYRON SMITHII‐GLOMUS SYMBIOSIS
American Journal of Botany, 1987The type of response the steppe grass Agropyron smithii Rydb. exhibits to mycorrhizal fungi is dependent upon where along the resource gradient the experiment is conducted. At the lower end of a soil‐phosphorus (P) gradient (2 μg P g ‐1 soil ...

Climate‐driven changes in biomass allocation in pines
Global Change Biology, 2000SummaryFuture increases in air temperature resulting from human activities may increase the water vapour pressure deficit (VPD) of the atmosphere. Understanding the responses of trees to spatial variation in VPD can strengthen our ability to predict how trees will respond to temporal changes in this important variable. Using published values, we tested

Resource capture, biomass allocation and growth in herbaceous plants
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1991Plant species differ widely in their rate of biomass production, even when grown under optimal conditions. A key question concerns the extent to which these growth rates correlate with the uptake of carbon and nitrogen and with the biomass allocation between leaves and roots.

On the Comparative Allocations of Biomass, Energy, and Nutrients in Plants
Ecology, 1982The objective of this study was to test the assumption that biomass allocation, energy allocation, and nutrient element allocation are equivalent for studies involving ecological—strategy analysis in plants. The results for the semelparous Verbascum thapsus and five iteroparous Solidago species show that the mineral elements examined are allocated ...

Above‐ and belowground biomass allocation in Tibetan grasslands
Journal of Vegetation Science, 2009AbstractQuestion: Optimal partitioning and isometric allocation are two important hypotheses in plant biomass allocation. We tested these two hypotheses at the community level, using field observations from Tibetan grasslands.Location: Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau, China.Methods: We investigated allocation between above‐ and belowground biomass in alpine

Effect of temperature on biomass allocation in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum)
Physiologia Plantarum, 1995Temperature may influence dry matter partitioning between fruits and vegetative plant parts either directly or indirectly through its influence on development, flower and/or fruit abortion. The objective of the present work was to investigate whether there is any direct effect of temperature on dry matter partitioning between fruits and vegetative ...

Biomass and Nutrient Allocation of Tipularia Discolor (Orchidaceae)
Oikos, 1984Tipularia discolor (Orchidaceae) plants were sampled in a deciduous forest in Maryland to determine how biomass and nutrients were allocated to different plant structures during an annual cycle. Corms older than 1 year lose weight gradually during the year and most vegetative growth goes into current year corms.

Effects of fire on sandhill herbs: nutrients, mycorrhizae, and biomass allocation
American Journal of Botany, 1997Differences in growth responses, tissue and soil inorganic nutrients, and mycorrhizal relationships of four herbaceous species were studied on burned and unburned sandhill sites in south‐central Florida, USA. Three species, (Aristida stricta, Liatris tenuifolia var. laevigata, and Pityopsis graminifolia) responded positively to conditions following the

Global Allocation Rules for Patterns of Biomass Partitioning in Seed Plants
Science, 2002A general allometric model has been derived to predict intraspecific and interspecific scaling relationships among seed plant leaf, stem, and root biomass. Analysis of a large compendium of standing organ biomass sampled across a broad sampling of taxa inhabiting diverse ecological habitats supports the relations predicted by the model and defines the ...
