Leaf functional traits profoundly impact the function of diverse-biomes under different environmental conditions. Thus, it is urgent to deeply understand how leaf and nitrogen (N) develop photosynthesis adaptive-strategies across groups biomes. We compiled information from previous studies on six climates determine difference in (forbs, deciduous-shrubs, deciduous-trees, evergreen-needle) related traits: (Amass, Aarea), dark respiration (dRmass, dRarea), Nmass, Narea, life-span (LL),...
The unbridled expansion of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) occurs throughout the world and has a series consequences. However, effect on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is still poorly understood. We assessed changes in AMF community during into Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) forests by analyzing three forest types-Japanese (JC), bamboo-cedar mixed (BC) (MB)-using 454 pyrosequencing technology. found that composition differed significantly among types. relative abundance...
Si can be important for the growth, functioning, and stoichiometric regulation of nutrients high-Si-accumulating bamboo. However, other trees do not actively take up dissolved silicic acid [Si(OH)4] from soil, likely because they have fewer or no specific transporters in their roots. It is unclear what causes differential growth C:N:P stoichiometry between bamboo across levels supply.Si supply increased relative rate height basal diameter saplings, by increasing its net photosynthetic ratios...
Both canopy gaps (CG) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play key roles in seedling establishment increasing species diversity forests. The response of AMF to is poorly understood. To assess the long-term effects on soil community, we sampled from plots a 50-year Cryptomeria japonica (L.f.) D. Don. plantation, located Lushan Mountain, subtropical China. We analyzed identified through 454 pyrosequencing, edaphic characteristics. richness CG decreased significantly compared closed (CC)....
Competition is an important driver of tree mortality and thus affects forest structure dynamics. Tree architectural traits, such as height-to-diameter (H-D) branch length-to-diameter (L-d) relationships are thought to influence species competitiveness by affecting light capture. Unfortunately, little known about how the H vs. D L d scaling exponents related performance (defined in context growth vigor) competition.
Competition is an important factor influencing the structure and dynamics of plant communities, understanding species coexistence. Tree architectural traits, such as height-to-diameter (H-D) branch length-to-diameter (L-d) relationships influence competitiveness through affecting light capture by altering occupation space. Unfortunately, little known about how H-D L-d scaling allometric exponent related to tree performance (growth vigour) in competition. We surveyed 1739 (1642 living 97...
Abstract Background Silicon (Si), while not an essential element for plant growth, can be important high Si-accumulating Poaceae, such as Moso bamboo. However, other trees do actively take up dissolved silicic acid [Si(OH) 4 ] from the soil, likely because they have fewer or no specific Si transporters in their roots. It is unclear what causes different growth and nutrient status between bamboo under varying supply. Results In this study, we found that addition increased biomass production...
Abstract Aims Silicon (Si), while not an essential element for plant growth, can be important high Si-accumulating Poaceae, such as Moso bamboo. However, other trees do actively take up dissolved silicic acid [Si(OH) 4 ] from the soil, likely because they have fewer or no specific Si transporters in their roots. It is unclear what causes different growth and nutrient status between bamboo under varying supply. To explore influences of availability on photosynthesis, C:N:P stoichiometry...
