Effect of intraspecific competition on biomass partitioning of Larix principis-rupprechtii

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2018
It is acknowledged that trees biomass allocation in response to environmental conditions. However, it remains poorly understood what strategies of plant biomass allocation with inter- and intraspecific interactions of tree species in forest stands.

Plasticity in Meristem Allocation as an Adaptive Strategy of a Desert Shrub under Contrasting Environments

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The pattern of resource allocation to reproduction vs. vegetative growth is a core component of a plant’s life-history strategy. Plants can modify their biomass allocation patterns to adapt to contrasting environments.

Grazing alters plant biomass allocation by regulating soil available nutrients and root biomass distribution in alpine meadows

Geoderma
Plant biomass allocation is important for understanding the material cycle and turnover in grassland ecosystems under environmental changes. However, biomass allocation involves two main hypotheses, optimal and isometric allocation, that remain ...

Competition alters predicted forest carbon cycle responses to nitrogen availability and elevated CO₂: simulations using an explicitly competitive, game-theoretic vegetation demographic model [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2019
Competition is a major driver of carbon allocation to different plant tissues (e.g., wood, leaves, fine roots), and allocation, in turn, shapes vegetation structure.

Clonal Patch Size and Ramet Position of Leymus chinensis Affected Reproductive Allocation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Reproductive allocation is critically important for population maintenance and usually varies with not only environmental factors but also biotic ones. As a typical rhizome clonal plant in China's northern grasslands, Leymus chinensis usually dominates ...

Precipitation-driven biomass reallocation in a desert steppe: Unraveling adaptive strategies through a 6-year manipulative experiment

Global Ecology and Conservation
Understanding biomass allocation patterns is critical for predicting plant adaptation strategies under climate change scenarios. At present, the theory of biomass allocation (optimal allocation and equidistant allocation) is still controversial ...

Assessing the sustainability of biomass supply chains for energy exploitation [PDF]

, 2014
Biomass use has increased significantly lately, partly due to conventional fuels price increase. This trend is more evident in rural areas with significant local biomass availability. Biomass may be used in various ways to generate heat.

Age-dependent biomass allocation indicates ecosystem responses to chronic nitrogen addition in artificial Poa pratensis grasslands

Global Ecology and Conservation
Nitrogen (N) addition strongly affects plant biomass allocation, yet most existing studies are based on short-term observations, leaving long-term changes in biomass allocation patterns and organ-level construction strategies across stand development ...
