A novel motif in the 5’‐UTR of an orphan gene ‘Big Root Biomass’ modulates root biomass in sesame [PDF]

Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2021
SummaryDeveloping crops with improved root system is crucial in current global warming scenario. Underexploited crops are valuable reservoirs of unique genes that can be harnessed for the improvement of major crops. In this study, we performed genome‐wide association studies on seven root traits in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) and uncovered 409 ...

A global map of root biomass across the world's forests [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2021
As a key component of the Earth system, roots play a key role in linking Earth's lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere. Here we combine 10 307 field measurements of forest root biomass worldwide with global observations of forest structure ...

Root architecture, root biomass and nutrient cycling in a mixed‐species agroforestry system

Land Degradation & Development, 2023
AbstractUnderstanding root development in soil profiles of agroforestry systems is challenging. It is uncertain to what extent the proximity of cash crops, such as cocoa and coffee, to shade trees reduces nutrient concentrations in the topsoil and whether the cash crops continue to develop fine roots in the topsoil when they are planted in close ...

Fine root biomass and morphology in a temperate forest are influenced more by the nitrogen treatment approach than the rate

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Global nitrogen (N) deposition patterns have profoundly affected the production and morphological structure of fine roots, which in turn changed the distribution of carbon in forests. However, traditional experiments of N addition in forests have ignored

Root Biomass Estimation in Natural and Planted Mangrove [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2021
Belowground root biomass plays an essential role in the mangrove ecosystem as potential carbon storage, nutrient gain, or sediment accumulation yet is still overlooked. Therefore, estimation of root biomass is necessary.

Shrubland biomass and root-shoot allocation along a climate gradient in China [PDF]

Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background – Shrublands are receiving increasing attention because of climate change. However, knowledge about biomass allocation of shrublands at the community level and how this is regulated by climate is of limited availability but critical for ...

Allometric equations for the estimation of above- and below-ground biomass for Larix sibirica Ledeb. in Northern Mongolia

Forest Science and Technology, 2023
The accurate estimation of tree above-ground (AGB) and below-ground (BGB) biomass components and their root/shoot ratio play key roles in stand and country-level forest biomass and carbon stock estimation.

Fine root biomass of European beech trees in different soil layers show different responses to season, climate, and soil nutrients

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Fine roots are crucial for water and nutrient acquisition in plants; yet it is unknown how nutrient inputs and soil fertility in forests influence fine root biomass seasonal trajectories.

Root production and belowground seagrass biomass [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1998
The root and rhizome biomass of the seagrass species present in 3 mixed and 2 monospecific meadows representative of different floras (Spanish Mediterranean, Mexican Caribbean, Kenyan coast, and the South China Sea off The Philippines) was examined to test for the existence of general patterns in the distribution of their biomass in the sediments, and ...

Stump and Root Biomass of Poplar Stands [PDF]

Forests, 2012
Today there is an increasing demand for biomass for use in energy production. In this study we investigated stumps and roots from six poplar (Populus sp.) stands growing on former farmland in Sweden, situated between latitudes 55 and 60°N. The mean age of the poplar was 20 years (range 16–23), the mean stand density 1151 stems ha−1 (range 361–3279 ...
