Partitioning of soil phosphorus regulates competition between Vaccinium vitis-idaea and Deschampsia cespitosa
It has been hypothesized that the wide range of forms and complexities of phosphorus (P) in soil may result in resource partitioning that contributes to the maintenance of plant species diversity. Here, we test whether the graminoid, Deschampsia cespitosa, and the ericaceous shrub, Vaccinium vitis-idaea, which often coexist, display preferences in utilization of P forms, and differ in their pro...
متن کاملRegeneration Patterns of European Oak Species (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl., Quercus robur L.) in Dependence of Environment and Neighborhood
Quercus robur L. (pedunculate oak) and Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl. (sessile oak) are two European oak species of great economic and ecological importance. Even though both oaks have wide ecological amplitudes of suitable growing conditions, forests dominated by oaks often fail to regenerate naturally. The regeneration performance of both oak species is assumed to be subject to a variety of v...
متن کاملSeasonal changes in carbon and nitrogen compound concentrations in a Quercus petraea chronosequence.
Forest productivity declines with tree age. This decline may be due to changes in metabolic functions, resource availability and/or changes in resource allocation (between growth, reproduction and storage) with tree age. Carbon and nitrogen remobilization/storage processes are key to tree growth and survival. However, studies of the effects of tree age on these processes are scarce and have not...
متن کاملEfficiency of nitrogen fertilization in spring wheat
An assessment of the nitrogen fertilization efficiency should not only include quantitativeand qualitative yield changes, but also an analysis of formation some indicators such as: Nharvest index (NHI), N use efficiency (NUE), N utilization efficiency (NUtE), N agronomicefficiency (NAE), N physiological efficiency (NPE) and N apparent recovery fraction (NRF).The objective of the study was the e...
متن کاملLegume Growth and Nitrogen Fixation as Affected by Plant Competition for Light and for Soil Nitrogen'
395 ABSTRACT Since the legume responses to environmental factors may be different in grass mixtures than in pure stands, a pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of plant top and root competition on the growth and N fixation of Desmodium intortum, cv. ‘Greenleaf’ grown in association with Setaria anceps, cv. 'Nandi' The plants were grown in deep, narrow pots which provided for ± t...
