Weeds under the canopies of tree species submitted to different planting densities and intercropping Plantas daninhas sob copas de espécies arbóreas submetidas a consórcios e densidades de plantio diferentes

Planta Daninha, 2013
Assessing the growth and floristic composition of species that grow under the canopy of trees is important for weed control (WC). The objective of this study was to assess two experiments (E1 and E2), when the trees were two years and one year of age ...

Bacterial multi-resistance to antibiotics in water from plant cavities (phytotelms) in a deep tropical forest from Costa Rica

Cuadernos de investigación UNED, 2023
Introduction: The spread of antimicrobial resistance in natural environments continues to be reported throughout the world; nevertheless, there is no study about phytotelms (water in the natural cavities of plants) in the deep understory of tropical ...

Net Ecosystem Exchange of CO₂ in Deciduous Pine Forest of Lower Western Himalaya, India

Resources, 2019
Carbon cycle studies over the climate-sensitive Himalayan regions are relatively understudied and to address this gap, systematic measurements on carbon balance components were performed over a deciduous pine forest with an understory layer.

Estimating aboveground live understory vegetation carbon in the United States

Environmental Research Letters, 2017
Despite the key role that understory vegetation plays in ecosystems and the terrestrial carbon cycle, it is often overlooked and has few quantitative measurements, especially at national scales.

Site and soil drivers of growth and ginsenoside accumulation in forest-grown ginseng

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
Forest-grown ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Mey.) is widely valued for its high medicinal quality; however, the ecological factors governing plant growth and ginsenoside accumulation under natural forest ecosystems remain insufficiently understood.

The persistence of carbon in the African forest understory [PDF]

Nature Plants, 2019
Quantifying carbon dynamics in forests is critical for understanding their role in long-term climate regulation1-4. Yet little is known about tree longevity in tropical forests3,5-8, a factor that is vital for estimating carbon persistence3,4. Here we calculate mean carbon age (the period that carbon is fixed in trees7) in different strata of African ...
