Foliar tern erature-respiration response functions for bl’oad-leaved a tree specie in the southern Appalachians
نویسنده
چکیده
We n&asured leaf respiration in 18 eastern deciduous forest tree species to determine if there were differences in tempera i m-respiration response functions among species or among c opy positions. Leaf respiration rates were measured in situ an4 on detached branches fordcerpensylvanicum L., A. rubrum i., Betula spp. (B. alleghaniensis Britt. and B. renta L.), Caryq glabra (Mill.) Sweet, Cornus jloridu L., Fraxinus spp. (primarily E americana L.), Liriodendmn tulipijkra L., Mag~oliafraseri Walt., Nyssa sylvatica Marsh., Oxydendrum arbo kun L., Platanus occidentalis L., Quercus alba L., Q. cocci Rhododendron imum 7’ilia americana L USA. Dark respira ‘on was measured on fully expanded leaves

Foliar and ecosystem respiration in an old-growth tropical rain forest.
Foliar respiration is a major component of ecosystem respiration, yet extrapolations are often uncertain in tropical forests because of indirect estimates of leaf area index (LAI). A portable tower was used to directly measure LAI and night-time foliar respiration from 52 vertical transects throughout an old-growth tropical rain forest in Costa Rica. In this study, we (1) explored the effects o...
متن کاملShifts in Aboveground and Forest Floor Carbon and Nitrogen Pools After Felling and Burning in the Southern Appalachians
Changes in aboveground and forest floor mass, carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) pools were quantified on three sites in the southern Appalachians 2 yr after felling and burning. Before felling and burning, stands were characterized by sparse overstories and dense Kalmia latifolia L. understories. Two years after burning, foliar C and N pools had reached 25% and 29% of pretreatment levels, respective...

The concentrations of cadmium, copper, nickel, zinc and lead were investigated in various components of smooth-leaved elm (Ulmus carpinifolia) tree in three sites (polluted, moderately polluted, and control) in Abadeh, Iran, in July 2015. The experiment was conducted using factorial experiment in a Completely Randomized Design with three replications. The concentration of heavy metals was measu...
متن کاملVariation in foliar respiration and wood CO2 efflux rates among species and canopy layers in a wet tropical forest.
As tropical forests respond to environmental change, autotrophic respiration may consume a greater proportion of carbon fixed in photosynthesis at the expense of growth, potentially turning the forests into a carbon source. Predicting such a response requires that we measure and place autotrophic respiration in a complete carbon budget, but extrapolating measurements of autotrophic respiration ...
