The relation between interspecific variation in relative growth rate and carbon nitrogen economy was investigated. Twentyfour wild species were grown a chamber with nonlimiting nutrient supply growth, whole plant photosynthesis, shoot respiration, root respiration determined. No correlation found the of these their photosynthesis expressed on leaf area basis. There positive correlation, however, per unit dry weight. Also rates weight correlated positively rate. Due to higher ratio (leaf...
Leaf dark respiration (Rdark ) is an important yet poorly quantified component of the global carbon cycle. Given this, we analyzed a new database Rdark and associated leaf traits. Data for 899 species were compiled from 100 sites (from Arctic to tropics). Several woody nonwoody plant functional types (PFTs) represented. Mixed-effects models used disentangle sources variation in . Area-based at prevailing average daily growth temperature (T) each site increased only twofold tropics, despite...
Plant diversity in experimental systems often enhances ecosystem productivity, but the mechanisms causing this overyielding are only partly understood. Intercropping faba beans (Vicia L.) and maize (Zea mays result also, enhanced nodulation by beans. By using permeable impermeable root barriers a 2-y field experiment, we show that root-root interactions between bean significantly increase both symbiotic N2 fixation intercropped bean. Furthermore, exudates from promote nodulation, whereas...
Summary Plant roots exhibit diverse root functional traits to enable soil phosphorus (P) acquisition, including changes in morphology, exudation and mycorrhizal symbioses. Yet, whether these are differently coordinated among crop species enhance P acquisition is unclear. Here, eight for were characterized 16 major herbaceous grown a glasshouse under limiting adequate availability. We found substantial interspecific variation species. Those with thinner showed more branching less first‐order...
