Journal ArticleDOI
Above- and belowground biomass and net primary production in a 73-year-old Scots pine forest
Chunwang Xiao,J. Curiel Yuste,Ivan A. Janssens,P Roskams,L Nachtergale,Arnaud Carrara,B Y Sanchez,Reinhart Ceulemans +7 more
TL;DR: Stems, needles and cones made relatively high contributions to total NPP compared with branches, however, branch NPP was possibly underestimated because litterfall of big branches was neglected, and the ratio NPP/GPP was low compared with other coniferous forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allometric relationships for below- and aboveground biomass of young Scots pines
Chunwang Xiao,Reinhart Ceulemans +1 more
TL;DR: For 10-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees allometric relationships describing branch and needle biomass at the branch level, as well as biomass of stems, branches, needles, coarse roots, small roots and total biomass at that level, were developed and compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrasting net primary productivity and carbon distribution between neighboring stands of Quercus robur and Pinus sylvestris
TL;DR: In the oak stand, litter is less recalcitrant to decay and soil acidity is less severe; hence, organic matter does not accumulate and nutrients are recycled, which probably explains why NPP was much higher in the oaks than in the pines and why only a small proportion ofNPP was allocated to oak fine roots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Priming of soil organic matter decomposition scales linearly with microbial biomass response to litter input in steppe vegetation
TL;DR: In this paper, a large field litter manipulation experiment in Mongolian steppe was conducted, and the authors showed that priming intensifies with increasing litter inputs, but at a decreasing efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Irrigation and enhanced soil carbon input effects on below-ground carbon cycling in semiarid temperate grasslands.
TL;DR: The response of plant productivity to POM addition (and associated release of nutrients) leads us to believe that plant productivity in the semiarid grassland ecosystems of northern China is primarily limited by nutrients and not by water.
