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.

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.

Rates of sustainable forest harvest depend on rotation length and weathering of soil minerals [PDF]

, 2014
Removals of forest biomass in the northeastern US may intensify over the coming decades due to increased demand for renewable energy. For forests to regenerate successfully following intensified harvests, the nutrients removed from the ecosystem in the ...

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.

Generalization and evaluation of the process-based forest ecosystem model PnET-CN for other biomes [PDF]

, 2015
Terrestrial ecosystems play an important role in carbon, water, and nitrogen cycling. Process-based ecosystem models, including PnET-CN, have been widely used to simulate ecosystem processes during the last two decades.
