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 ...

Non-native populations of an invasive tree outperform their native conspecifics [PDF]
, 2015 Introduced plants often face new environmental conditions in their non-native ranges. To become invasive, they need to overcome several biotic and abiotic filters that may trigger adaptive changes in life-history traits, like postgermination processes ...

Nitrogen forms affect root structure and water uptake in the hybrid poplar [PDF]
, 2011 The study analyses the effects of two different forms of nitrogen fertilisation (nitrate and ammonium) on root structure and water uptake of two hybrid poplar (Populus maximowiczii x P. balsamifera) clones in a field experiment.

Precipitation and nitrogen addition enhance biomass allocation to aboveground in an alpine steppe
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 There are two important allocation hypotheses in plant biomass allocation: allometric and isometric. We tested these two hypotheses in an alpine steppe using plant biomass allocation under nitrogen (N) addition and precipitation (Precip) changes at a ...

Above- and below-ground competition in high and low irradiance: tree seedling responses to a competing liana Byttneria grandifolia [PDF]
, 2008 : In tropical forests, trees compete not only with other trees, but also with lianas, which may limit tree growth and regeneration. Liana effects may depend on the availability of above- and below-ground resources and differ between tree species.

Jena Soil Model (JSM v1.0; revision 1934): a microbial soil organic carbon model integrated with nitrogen and phosphorus processes [PDF]
, 2020 Plant–soil interactions, such as the coupling of plants' below-ground biomass allocation with soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition, nutrient release and plant uptake, are essential to understand the response of carbon (C) cycling to global changes ...

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.
