Sentence examples for growth and allocation from inspiring English sources
High nutrient treatment resulted in higher RGR and allocation to asexual reproduction resulting in higher biomass accumulation compared to the low nutrient treatment, which had higher root growth and allocation to sexual reproduction.
Three coffee varieties were grown under four levels of radiation (30 100% full sun) and four rates of nitrogen supply (0 88 g tree−1 y−1), arranged in a randomized split-split plot design at Jimma University horticultural farm, Ethiopia, and their biomass increment (growth) and allocation, and crown characteristics were measured.
BALANCE reproduces growth and allocation patterns via the availability of light, nutrients and water (figure 9).
Thinning goals such as increased individual tree growth and allocation of energy to the forest floor for plant diversity lead to lower overstory biomass accumulation in thinned plots.
In a previous QTL study, we have demonstrated that a simple change in nitrogen availability completely changes the genetic control of biomass growth and allocation, as well as carbon partitioning within wood components [ 62].
Time-course changes in plant growth and allocation parameters following a defoliation event have been reported (Oesterheld and McNaughton 1988; Anten et al. 2003; Van Staalduinen and Anten 2005).
Under fertilisation and full light or shade conditions, the TLA of the invasive species reached three-fold higher values than either early- and late-successional species (p < 0.01), similarly to that observed for relative growth rate and allocation to foliage.
In the present study, we compared the growth, physiology and allocation patterns of an invasive tree species, A. negundo, to co-occurring native tree species across a wide range of controlled environmental conditions including light, nutrient availability and disturbance using 1 year-old seedlings under greenhouse conditions and adult trees in the field.
Ageratina adenophora was reported to allocate greater amounts of nitrogen to photosynthesis (growth) and reduced allocation to cell walls (defence), thus resulting in an increase in its growth and vigour in the introduced ranges (Feng et al. 2009, 2011).
In India's big cities onerous permitting procedures, tight rent control, and strict limits on how land may be used have heavily distorted patterns of growth and the allocation of its benefits.Growth in the rents available to property owners fuels corruption and wastes resources.
In this paper, changes in clonal growth and biomass allocation pattern of C. brevicuspis in response to sedimentation were studied.
