Climate and soil drive forest structure in Bolivian lowland forests
Climate is one of the most important factors determining variation in forest structure, but whether soils have independent effects is less clear. We evaluate how climate and soil independently affect forest structure, using 89 200 stems ≥ 10 cm dbh from 220 1-ha permanent plots distributed along environmental gradients in lowland Bolivia. Fifteen forest structural variables, related to vertical...

متن کاملGenotypic Differences in Potassium Nutrition in Lowland Rice Hybrids
China imports most of its potassium (K) requirements for crop production. The objective of this study was to evaluate indica rice hybrids for Kuse efficiency. Twenty-eight indica rice hybrids were evaluated in nutrient solution. The K influx rate was greatest in genotype Weiyou 64 (684.9 nmol K plant h) and least in genotype Xie A/909 (457.2 nmol K plant h). The K-use efficiency was greatest in...
