Sentence examples for increase resource acquisition from inspiring English sources

As AMF effectively extend plant roots and increase resource acquisition, grasses that associate with distinct AMF may experience enhanced functional complementarity relative to other grasses.

Therefore, in the primary phase of invasion when resources are initially high, population growth may depend on TGP to increase resource acquisition within the patch.

If increased root overlap increases the overall exploration of soil space and resource acquisition, then our results suggest that mixtures of population-accession might increase resource acquisition and growth due to increased root overlap.

Intriguingly, this increased resource acquisition capacity was coupled with an adjustment in the allocation of these resources such that the investment in litter size was limited.

A schematic representation of the hypothesis that V36 females allocated resources to functions related to the rapid change in priority between litters, rather than to increasing resource acquisition, is in Figure  6 (reprinted from Pascual et al. [ 18]).

Transgenesis can increase biomass by improving resource acquisition and product utilization and by enhancing competitive ability for solar energy, water, and mineral nutrients.

Conversely, 20 generations of selection to increase litter size at weaning was not accompanied by an overall increase in the female's resource acquisition capacity.

However, 20 generations of selection for litter size at weaning did not lead to an increased capacity of nutrient (or resource) acquisition.

Increases in available nutrients may make trade-offs less pronounced assuming that an increase in nutrient availability decreases variation across individuals in resource acquisition.

Therefore, 20 generations of selection for litter size at weaning did not increase the environmental sensitivity of rabbit females with respect to resource acquisition capacity.

Species with greater tissue density are thought to minimize nutrient loss and to maintain growth at low resource supply (= conservative species), while species with low tissue density are capable of fast resource acquisition and are more responsive in terms of growth to increased nutrient availability (= exploitative species) (Chapin 1980; Reich et al. 2003 b ).
