Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of ozone on the stable carbon isotope composition, δ13C, of leaves and grain of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
TL;DR: According to models of (13)C discrimination in C(3) plants, these results indicate increasing limitation of photosynthesis by CO(2) diffusion relative to limitation by carboxylation with increasing O(3), not in agreement with results from gas exchange analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Inoculation and Leaf Litter Amendment on Establishment of Nodule-Forming Frankia Populations in Soil
Anja Nickel,Oliver Pelz,Dittmar Hahn,Dittmar Hahn,Matthias Saurer,Rolf T. W. Siegwolf,Josef Zeyer +6 more
TL;DR: Through inoculation or leaf litter amendment, Frankiapopulations with high specific N2-fixing capacities can be established in soils and remain infective on their host plants, successfully compete for nodule formation with other indigenous or inoculated Frankia populations, and thereby increase plant growth performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volcanic explosive eruptions of the Vesuvio decrease tree-ring growth but not photosynthetic rates in the surrounding forests
Giovanna Battipaglia,Paolo Cherubini,Matthias Saurer,Rolf T. W. Siegwolf,S. Strumia,M. Francesca Cotrufo +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between individual volcanic eruptions, tree primary productivity, photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance are investigated, to understand the impact of volcanic eruption on net primary production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth and physiological responses to ozone and mild drought stress of tree species with different ecological requirements
Martina Pollastrini,Rosanna Desotgiu,Chiara Cascio,Filippo Bussotti,Paolo Cherubini,Matthias Saurer,Giacomo Gerosa,Riccardo Marzuoli +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an open-top chamber experiment was carried out in Curno (Northern Italy) in 2004 and 2005 on seed lings of Fagus sylvatica (FS), Quercus robur (QR), and an ozone-sensitive Populus (POP) clone, to investigate the role of two stress factors: tropospheric ozone and water shortage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isotope signals and anatomical features in tree rings suggest a role for hydraulic strategies in diffuse drought-induced die-back of Pinus nigra.
TL;DR: The authors' results suggest that H trees adopted a more conservative water-use strategy under drought stress compared with D trees, and speculate that this diversity might have a genotypic basis, but other possible explanations, like different rooting depth, cannot be ruled out.
