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,

Stand structure adjustment influences the biomass allocation in naturally generated Pinus massoniana seedlings through environmental factors

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.

Biomass Resource Allocation Among Competing End Uses [PDF]

, 2012
The Biomass Scenario Model (BSM) is a system dynamics model developed by the U.S. Department of Energy as a tool to better understand the interaction of complex policies and their potential effects on the biofuels industry in the United States.

Distinguishing the biomass allocation variance resulting from ontogenetic drift or acclimation to soil texture.

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.

Phenotypic Plasticity Drives the Successful Expansion of the Invasive Plant Pedicularis kansuensis in Bayanbulak, China

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 ...

Drought effect on plant biomass allocation: A meta‐analysis [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2017
AbstractDrought is one of the abiotic stresses controlling plant function and ecological stability. In the context of climate change, drought is predicted to occur more frequently in the future. Despite numerous attempts to clarify the overall effects of drought stress on the growth and physiological processes of plants, a comprehensive evaluation on ...

Biomass production and allocation in Jatropha curcas L. seedlings under different levels of drought stress [PDF]

, 2010
In a greenhouse experiment we applied three levels of drought stress and monitored growth variables and biomass production of Jatropha curcas seedlings propagated from three seed accessions.

Allometry and phylogeny of within-diaspore biomass allocation: A global analysis. [PDF]

Biol Lett
Allometry, 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
