Plant productivity and belowground resource partitioning in gradients of tropical land-use intensity and tree species diversity (B04)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The project measures plant biomass at the landscape scale and relates it to above- and belowground plant traits for analysing leaf, wood and root economics spectra using the EFForTS trait database. Root competition in the Oil Palm Biodiversity Enrichment Experiment is analysed with a mechanistic approach. In addition, the existing multi-year record of productivity data in the EFForTS plots is extended to a 10-yr time series of NPP and NEP with the aim to analyse inter-annual productivity fluctuation in dependence on climate variation and system diversity and complexity.
