Above- and below-ground biomass relationships across 1534 forested communities.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Prior work has shown that above- and below-ground dry biomass across individual plants scale in a near isometric manner across phyletically and ecologically diverse species. Allometric theory predicts that a similar isometric scaling relationship should hold true across diverse forest-types, regardless of vegetational composition. METHODS To test this hypothesis, two compe...
متن کاملReciprocal feeding facilitation between above- and below-ground herbivores.
Interspecific interactions between insect herbivores predominantly involve asymmetric competition. By contrast, facilitation, whereby herbivory by one insect benefits another via induced plant susceptibility, is uncommon. Positive reciprocal interactions between insect herbivores are even rarer. Here, we reveal a novel case of reciprocal feeding facilitation between above-ground aphids (Amphoro...
متن کاملBelow-ground plant–fungus network topology is not congruent with above-ground plant–animal network topology
In nature, plants and their pollinating and/or seed-dispersing animals form complex interaction networks. The commonly observed pattern of links between specialists and generalists in these networks has been predicted to promote species coexistence. Plants also build highly species-rich mutualistic networks below ground with root-associated fungi, and the structure of these plant-fungus network...
متن کاملHow planting density and grazing intensity affect the above- and below-ground carbon pools in a dryland ecosystem?
Climate change is known as one of the most important environmental challenges. Sequestration of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems is a low-cost option that may be available in the near-term to mitigate increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations, while providing additional benefits. In this study, we estimated the effects of planting density and grazing intensity on the potential of Atriplex canes...
متن کاملModeling Carbon Allocation below Ground
Belowground carbon expenditure has been difficult to measure, and even more so to predict. Root growth is influenced by both direct effects on plant metabolism and indirect effects of soil drying and interactions with soil organisms. In Concord grape, crop load may compete with root growth when soil moisture is not limiting. Root lifespan also is difficult to predict but some success can be ach...
