Title
Biomass allocation strategies of Lilium regale and their altitudinal effects
Ding Jianli Chinese Journal of Appplied Environmental Biology 2014
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Individual total biomass of Lilium regale was higher at the middle altitude than at the lower altitude.
- Association Vegetative partitioning percentages decreased with increasing altitude.
- Association Reproductive partitioning percentages increased with increasing altitude.
- Observation Each pair of module biomass allocation components shows an isometric relationship, except leaf mass versus other components.
- Association Reproductive allocation was higher at higher altitudes than at lower altitudes for a given vegetative biomass.
- Mechanism The allometric scaling between leaf mass and total biomass might be due to a diminishing returns effect of leaf area.
- Observation A common isometric scaling relationship of biomass allocation also exists within the species along an altitudinal gradient.
- Association Reproductive biomass partitioning was higher than vegetative biomass partitioning in plants at stressful environments.
