Abstract Accurate ground‐based estimation of the carbon stored in terrestrial ecosystems is critical to quantifying global budget. Allometric models provide cost‐effective methods for biomass prediction. But do such vary with ecoregion or plant functional type? We compiled 15 054 measurements individual tree shrub from across Australia examine generality allometric above‐ground This provided a robust case study because includes ecoregions ranging arid shrublands tropical rainforests, and has...
The leaf area-to-sapwood area ratio (LA:SA) is a key plant trait that links photosynthesis to transpiration. pipe model theory states the sapwood cross-sectional of stem or branch at any point should scale isometrically with leaves distal point. Optimization further suggests LA:SA decrease toward drier climates. Although acclimation climate has been reported within species, much less known about scaling this among species. We compiled measurements from 184 species Australian evergreen...
Although hydraulic redistribution has been observed for a range of tree species, including Eucalyptus kochii subsp. borealis (C. Gardner) D. Nicolle, there is limited direct evidence that water taken up by deep roots in moist soil fact exuded shallow dry soil. This paper reports an experiment designed to test this hypothesis. Water enriched with deuterium was added the groundwater via slotted tube at 4.5 m depth below 5-year-old E. trees. Nocturnal sap flow increased markedly immediately...
Overview: During the last two years, a major nationally-collaborative research program has been lead by CSIRO to improve estimation of biomass accumulation mixed-species environmental plantings and mallee eucalypt plantings. It involved evaluation uncertainties associated with using alternative approaches estimation, collation refinement new existing field inventories estimates for these plantings, growing in various configurations throughout non-arid (>300 mm mean annual rainfall) regions...
