Leaf traits, shoot growth and seed production in mature Fagus sylvatica trees after 8 years of CO2 enrichment.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Masting, i.e. synchronous but highly variable interannual seed production, is a strong sink for carbon and nutrients. It may, therefore, compete with vegetative growth. It is currently unknown whether increased atmospheric CO(2) concentrations will affect the carbon balance (or that of other nutrients) between reproduction and vegetative growth of forest species. In this stu...
متن کاملRoot biomass and biomass increment in a beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) stand in North-East France
This study is part of a larger project aimed at quantifying the biomass and biomass increment of an experimental beech stand aged 30 years, and comparing the carbon sequestration in trees to carbon fluxes. The below ground part of trees is expected to play an important role in carbon sequestration. A method has been developed to estimate the biomass and biomass increment of coarse, small and fi...
متن کاملShort communication Estimating Arundo donax shoot biomass
We developed an equation for estimating Arundo donax shoot dry weight from shoot length. The equation, shoot dry weight (g) = 14.254 (standard error = 0.275) shoot height (m), was as effective at explaining a high proportion of total variation in shoot dry weight (R = 0.90) as more complicated equations containing additional morphometric parameters. Tested against two independent datasets, the ...
متن کاملA role for shoot protein in shoot-root dry matter allocation in higher plants.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS It is stated in many recent publications that nitrate (NO3-) acts as a signal to regulate dry matter partitioning between the shoot and root of higher plants. Here we challenge this hypothesis and present evidence for the viewpoint that NO3- and other environmental effects on the shoot:root dry weight ratio (S:R) of higher plants are often related mechanistically to changes ...
متن کاملShoot Turgor Does Not Limit Shoot Growth of NaCl-Affected Wheat and Barley.
The aim of this work was to test the hypothesis that the reduced growth rate of wheat and barley that results when the roots are exposed to NaCl is due to inadequate turgor in the expanding cells of the leaves. The hypothesis was tested by exposing plants to 100 millimolar NaCl (which reduced their growth rates by about 20%), growing them for 7 to 10 days with their roots in pressure chambers, ...
