Piping and woody plants in peatlands: Cause or effect?
[1] This paper presents, for the first time, evidence to show that Calluna species are one causative factor of piping in blanket peat catchments. Ground-penetrating radar survey on 960 plots illustrated that piping was prevalent throughout blanket peats. However, soil pipe occurrence was significantly higher where bare peat (149 pipes/km) or Calluna (87 pipes/km) were present compared to other ...
متن کاملThe effects of a changing climate on root respiration of woody plants in sugar maple forests and northern peatlands
Climate change will potentially impact C cycling in terrestrial ecosystems during the next century. Plant respiration uses a significant portion of CO2 fixed during photosynthesis, and predicted warmer future temperatures could result in an exponential increase in plant respiration, increasing the amount of photosynthate returned to the atmosphere as new CO2, and decreasing the amount of C sequ...
متن کاملNonstructural carbon in woody plants.
Nonstructural carbon (NSC) provides the carbon and energy for plant growth and survival. In woody plants, fundamental questions about NSC remain unresolved: Is NSC storage an active or passive process? Do older NSC reserves remain accessible to the plant? How is NSC depletion related to mortality risk? Herein we review conceptual and mathematical models of NSC dynamics, recent observations and ...
متن کاملElectrophysiology of Woody Plants
A fundamental property of all living organisms is related to the continuous gathering of environmental information and the expression of physiological responses aimed to optimize its performance under new environmental conditions. In order to keep homeostasis, plants need to continuously gather information about its environment and to react physiologically, in order to synchronize its normal bi...
متن کاملInspection of Buried or Inaccessable Piping in Nuclear Power Plants Utilizing Ultrasonic Based Intelligent Pigging Technology
Buried or inaccessible piping systems within Nuclear Power plants present a challenge in terms of overall inspection. Limited access and complex piping configurations restrict the type of indirect or direct NDE methodologies which can be applied by inspectors. Due to the complexity of buried and above-grade piping systems routed in and around these facilities, many plants have been forced to lo...
