Effects of drought on leaf carbon source and growth of European beech are modulated by soil type
Drought potentially affects carbon balance and growth of trees, but little is known to what extent soil plays a role in the trade-off between carbon gain and growth investment. In the present study, we analyzed leaf non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) as an indicator of the balance of photosynthetic carbon gain and carbon use, as well as growth of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) saplings, wh...
متن کاملIncreased ratio of electron transport to net assimilation rate supports elevated isoprenoid emission rate in eucalypts under drought.
Plants undergoing heat and low-CO2 stresses emit large amounts of volatile isoprenoids compared with those in stress-free conditions. One hypothesis posits that the balance between reducing power availability and its use in carbon assimilation determines constitutive isoprenoid emission rates in plants and potentially even their maximum emission capacity under brief periods of stress. To test t...
متن کاملCarbon/Nitrogen Imbalance Associated with Drought-Induced Leaf Senescence in Sorghum bicolor
Drought stress triggers mature leaf senescence, which supports plant survival and remobilization of nutrients; yet leaf senescence also critically decreases post-drought crop yield. Drought generally results in carbon/nitrogen imbalance, which is reflected in the increased carbon:nitrogen (C:N) ratio in mature leaves, and which has been shown to be involved in inducing leaf senescence under nor...
متن کاملHigh temperature causes negative whole-plant carbon balance under mild drought.
Theoretically, progressive drought can force trees into negative carbon (C) balance by reducing stomatal conductance to prevent water loss, which also decreases C assimilation. At higher temperatures, negative C balance should be initiated at higher soil moisture because of increased respiratory demand and earlier stomatal closure. Few data are available on how these theoretical relationships i...
متن کاملFinal Report : Investigation Group : CD - 01 PIs
We have completed a multi-year study of ecosystem carbon fluxes across Amazônia using the Simple Biosphere model (SiB2) at several spatial and temporal scales. We have developed understanding and confidence in the model simulations at local scales by direct evaluation against data collected in the field, and extrapolated to regional, Basin, and even global scales by coupling our local ecophysio...
متن کاملTo Review the Situation of Carbon Footprint in Iran Trade Balance by CGE Approach
Pollutants of Carbon flow virtually by streaming the Goods and services among the countries. Due to the Carbon Footprint (CFP) in economical divisions as well as subdivisions in Iran, the main objective of this paper is to specify the effects of Carbon footprint on import and export of various sections in the framework of Computable General Equilibrium Model. It’s used the social accounting mat...
