Differentiation in seed mass and seedling biomass allocation in Prosopis laevigata throughout its distribution range in Mexico is associated to water availability

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2022
Background: Seedling establishment depends on the quality of the seeds and environmental conditions. Differential biomass allocation in emergent seedlings probably constitutes a relevant adaptive response of populations along environmental gradients.

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

, 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.

Leaf Traits, Biomass Accumulation and Allocation of Gentiana lawrencei Burkill Along an 800 m Elevation Gradient in Alpine Grasslands

Agronomy
Elevation, as a comprehensive ecological variable, is considered one of the decisive factors in the distribution pattern of plants in a region. We explored changes in functional traits and biomass accumulation and allocation of Gentiana lawrenceni along ...

Tree biomass allocation is governed by allometry but modulated by optimization

Forest Ecosystems
Understanding the patterns and drivers of biomass allocation among organs at a broad scale is crucial for predicting the responses of plant growth and carbon sequestration to environmental change.

Shifts in Aboveground Biomass Allocation Patterns of Dominant Shrub Species across a Strong Environmental Gradient.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Most plant biomass allocation studies have focused on allocation to shoots versus roots, and little is known about drivers of allocation for aboveground plant organs.

Effects of aspect on clonal reproduction and biomass allocation of layering modules of Nitraria tangutorum in nebkha dunes.

PLoS ONE, 2013
The formation of many nebkha dunes relies on the layering of clonal plants. The microenvironmental conditions of such phytogenic nebkha are heterogeneous depending on the aspect and slope.

Biomass allocation, compensatory growth and internal C/N balance of Lolium perenne in response to defoliation and light treatments

, 2016
Light environments can have a considerable influence on how plants respond to defoliation through influencing the biomass allocation patterns and internal C/N ratio.

Canopy closure altered biomass allocation in young spruce stand

Journal of Forest Science, 2015
Growth intensity of particular tree components is controlled by a variety of factors and as a consequence, biomass allocation also changes over time.

Biomass partitioning and its relationship with the environmental factors at the alpine steppe in Northern Tibet. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Alpine steppe is considered to be the largest grassland type on the Tibetan Plateau. This grassland contributes to the global carbon cycle and is sensitive to climate changes. The allocation of biomass in an ecosystem affects plant growth and the overall

Competition in mixed Scots pine and Pyrenean oak stands modifies allometry and partially affects biomass allocation during early stand development

Ecological Indicators
Understanding how trees allocate growth and resources in response to competition is crucial for managing mixed-species forests under changing climatic conditions.
