Despite the myth about vacations, that they'll sink productivity, the data shows they don't.
The development of homoeologue-specific markers for, and SNPs within the wheat SPSII genes will enable the definition of any associations between SPSII genotype and plant phenotype in terms of vigour, biomass productivity or source-sink relationships.
The expanding measurement base has continued to support the inference of a large, long-term carbon sink into forest biomass, also showing that while the sink results from productivity exceeding mortality, both the rate of growth and the rate of death have tended to increase [e.g., 35], and that the sink extends beyond Amazonia to other tropical forests [e.g., 36].
Carbonate mineral dissolution, which increases dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations, may represent a net atmospheric CO2 sink as primary productivity consumes DIC, resulting in organic C burial in fluvial systems of carbonate terrains.
In 1920, old-growth forest dominated the area and the long-term landscape-level net ecosystem C balance (net biome productivity, NBP) was a small sink (NBP 0.2 Mg C ha−1 year−1).
Rich economies showed little sign of escaping the productivity doldrums into which they sank in the early 1970s; the tech boomlet of the late 1990s and early 2000s came and went all too quickly.On reviewing the evidence, this newspaper came to a rather more optimistic assessment than Mr Gordon.Closer analysis of recent figures, though, suggests reason for optimism.
