Pattern and control of biomass allocation across global forest ecosystems
The underground part of a tree is an important carbon sink in forest ecosystems. Understanding biomass allocation between the below- and aboveground parts (root:shoot ratios) is necessary for estimation of the underground biomass and carbon pool. Nevertheless, large-scale biomass allocation patterns and their control mechanisms are not well identified. In this study, a large database of global ...
متن کاملNear Isometric Biomass Partitioning in Forest Ecosystems of China
Based on the isometric hypothesis, belowground plant biomass (MB) should scale isometrically with aboveground biomass (MA) and the scaling exponent should not vary with environmental factors. We tested this hypothesis using a large forest biomass database collected in China. Allometric scaling functions relating MB and MA were developed for the entire database and for different groups based on ...
متن کاملLogistics and pretreatment of forest biomass
In large regions of the world, biomass is a very important source of energy. The global bioenergy market based on forest biomass is growing rapidly. About 92 % of the bioenergy in Sweden comes from forests. Biomass from forests is not homogenous. The locations, transport distances, and transport methods, can differ very much and the industries that need biomass as input prefer raw materials wit...
متن کاملSimulating The Impacts Of Climate Change On Ecosystems: The Importance Of Mortality
The potential for marine plankton ecosystems to influence climate by the production of dimethylsulphide (DMS) has been an important topic of recent research into climate change. Several general circulation models used to predict climate change have or are being modified to include interactions of ecosystems with climate. Climate change necessitates that parameters within ecosystem models must c...
