The effect of allometric partitioning on herbivory tolerance in four species in South China
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Herbivory tolerance can offset the negative effects of herbivory on plants and plays an important role in both immigration and population establishment. Biomass reallocation is an important potential mechanism of herbivory tolerance.

Leaf-age and petiole biomass play significant roles in leaf scaling theory
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Foliage leaves are essential for plant survival and growth, and how plants allocate biomass to their leaves reveals their economic and ecological strategies. Prior studies have shown that leaf-age significantly influences leaf biomass allocation patterns.

Altitudinal pattern of shrub biomass allocation in Southwest China
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 ...

Biomass Allocation is an Important Determinant of the Tannin Concentration in Growing Plants [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2007 • Background and aims: Condensed tannins (CTs) in the diet affect consumers in a concentration-dependent manner. Because of their importance in plant defence against herbivores and pathogens as well as their potential application against gastrointestinal parasites of ruminants in agronomy, an understanding of the seasonal dynamics of CT concentrations ...

Variance in biomass‐allocation fractions is explained by distribution in European trees [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2019 SummaryIntraspecific variability in ecological traits confers the ability of a species to adapt to an ever‐changing environment. Fractions of biomass allocation in plants (BAFs) represent both ecological traits and direct expressions of investment strategies and so have important implications on plant fitness, particularly under current global change ...

Biomass Utilization Allocation in Biofuel Production: Model and Application [PDF]
, 2012 Various biomass sources can potentially be used for biofuel production, and many of these same biomass sources also have other uses. This raises an important question about biomass utilization allocation.
