(Scion, 2020)Background: Additivity has long been recognised as a desirable property of systems of equations to predict the biomass of components and the whole tree. However, most tree biomass studies report biomass equations fitted ...
-
(Springer, 2015)Background: Water accounts for around half of the total mass in living trees, and therefore large savings can be achieved if logs are dried before transporting or burning. Methods: An air-drying model for piled logs of ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)Forest plantations have a large potential for carbon sequestration, playing an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, despite the large amount of research carried out worldwide, the absolute contribution of ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012)We studied the effects of afforestation on soil respiration (Rs) in an arid shrubland in northern Chile. We sampled Rs monthly for three years in two adjacent plots, one left as control in natural condition, and one afforested ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)The linkage between above-ground biomass production and below-ground carbon fluxes as influenced by silviculture has been insufficiently studied. We tested the effects of stocking, clone, fertilization, and follow-up ...
-
(Springer, 2014)Background: Quillaja saponaria Mol., Cryptocarya alba Mol. Looser, and Lithraea caustica Molina Hook et Arn., are common sclerophyllous species in Mediterranean Central Chile. Mesophyll conductance, gm, may strongly ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)The prediction of carbon uptake by forests across fertility gradients requires accurate characterisation of how biochemical limitations to photosynthesis respond to variation in key elements such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus ...
-
(2014)Sclerophyllous shrubs and forests are predominant in semiarid Central Chile and have a long history of degradation by fire, cultivation, firewood extraction and grazing. The aim of this study was to compare the amount ...
-
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de Agronomía Ingeniería Forestal, 2016)Stem CO2 efflux is a highly variable component of the carbon budget of forest ecosystems. It reflects the balance between the CO2 respired by the living stem tissues, less the CO2 dissolved in the xylem sap moving upward ...
-
(Springer, 2020)Key message Prosopis tamarugo undergoes several modifications of its hydraulic architecture, which has a homeostatic effect on its performance under descent of phreatic level. Groundwater extraction for mining has generated ...
