Sentence examples for foliar mass from inspiring English sources

A similar influence of tree species on C turnover was indicated by the litterfall C to forest floor C ratio and by foliar mass loss; rates of C turnover increased in the order spruce < beech < oak < ash = lime = maple with significant differences between several of the species.

Karst).. Rates of C turnover were estimated by (i) the ratio of estimated soil heterotrophic respiration (Rh) to C stock in forest floor and top mineral soil, (ii) the ratio of litterfall C to forest floor C, (iii) foliar mass loss in litterbags, and (iv) mineral soil C turnover assessed by laboratory incubation.

Valentine and Hilton (1977) used this method to obtain estimates of leaf counts, foliar area, and foliar mass of mature Quercus species.

To determine SLA (foliar area : mass ratio), leaf area was measured via WinFOLIA (Regent Instruments, Toronto, Canada) and leaves were oven dried at 70 °F for 48 h and the oven-dried leaf mass was recorded.

Seedling leaf mass and foliar nitrogen (N) content were also greatest in shelterwood plantings on mesic sites.

For both sites, KL increased with increasing Qint, leading to a greater foliar area and dry mass per unit shoot length, as well as to larger MS and foliar nitrogen content per unit silhouette area at higher irradiance.

We calibrated and validated the retrieval of 15 canopy foliar chemicals and leaf mass per area (LMA) across a network of 79 1-hectare field plots using a new VSWIR-LiDAR fusion approach designed to accommodate the enormous scale mismatch between field and remote sensing studies.

However, the chlorophyll values reported for the site in 1999 appear to be too low, suggesting a poor extraction yield occurred with the ethanol solvent as described earlier in the Methods section: 'Foliar biochemistry and leaf mass per area'.

But, because foliage mass per tree or leaf/needle size was not correlated to foliar N concentration, the hypothesis that N was diluted by an enhanced growth due to +CO2 (Eller et al. 2011) has to be refuted at the foliage level.

Mass-based foliar N content in eCO2 leaves was significantly lower than for aCO2 in 2008 and 2009 (P < 0.001), but not in 1999 (P = 0.22) (Fig.  1C).

Whereas Cavaleri et al. (2008) found no differentiation between functional types with respect to mass-based respiration, a study by Slot et al. (2013) conducted in an upper forest canopy in Panama showed a greater mass-based dark foliar respiration in lianas than in trees (and no pattern in area-based respiration).
