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

Altitudinal pattern of shrub biomass allocation in Southwest China. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2020 Shrubs play an important role in the global carbon cycle and are particularly sensitive to climate change. However, the altitudinal pattern of biomass allocation in mountainous shrubs and its responses to climate change are still unclear. In this study, biomass accumulation and allocation of the shrub community and their relationships with climatic ...

Diversity, 2023 To better understand the phenotypic plasticity of the highly invasive native weed, Pedicularis kansuensis, we investigated and compared phenotypes (morphology, biomass, and nutrient composition) at different levels of invasion (low: 0 < cover ≤ 30 ...

Effect of soil waterlogging on below-ground biomass allometric relations in Norway spruce [PDF]
, 2010 An increasing importance is assigned to the estimation and verification of carbon stocks in forests. Forestry practice has several long-established and reliable methods for the assessment of aboveground biomass; however we still miss accurate predictors ...

Pitfalls and Possibilities in the Analysis of Biomass Allocation Patterns in Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 Plants can differentially allocate biomass to leaves, stems, roots, and reproduction, and follow ontogenetic trajectories that interact with the prevailing climate. Various methodological tools exist to analyze the resulting allocation patterns, based either on the calculation of biomass ratios or fractions of different organs at a given point in time,

PLoS ONE, 2012 In resource-poor environments, adjustment in plant biomass allocation implies a complex interplay between environmental signals and plant development rather than a delay in plant development alone.

Carbon dioxide level and form of soil nitrogen regulate assimilation of atmospheric ammonia in young trees. [PDF]
, 2015 The influence of carbon dioxide (CO2) and soil fertility on the physiological performance of plants has been extensively studied, but their combined effect is notoriously difficult to predict.

Effect of fine-scale spatial variation of soil nitrogen on the performance of the sexes of Poa ligularis in patchy ecosystems of northern Patagonia [PDF]
, 2002 In patchy environments of arid Patagonia, males of the dioecious grass Poa ligularis dominate in N-poor microsites, while females are more common in N-rich microsites. In order to explore functional differences related to spatial segregation of the sexes,
