Patterns of carbon allocation, storage and remobilization in a common resprouting savanna species - Acacia karoo
… a comprehensive understanding of the patterns of carbon partitioning, storage and remobilization in Acacia karroo during the juvenile life history stage. Tuber total nonstructural carbohydrate (TNC) concentrations and δ¹³C values were determined in plants from two different stages in the juvenile …

Respuestas ecofisiológicas al enriquecimiento de amonio en angiospermas marinas
… strong internal demand for ATP and organic carbon skeletons, which must be provided by photosynthesis or from C-reserves. Thus, any factor affecting NH4+ uptake and/or assimilation could intensify or ameliorate NH4+ toxicity in seagrasses. This PhD Thesis studies the interactive effect of …

Can the season of burning affect the growth of Dichrostachys cinerea populations: A hypothesis of phenology
… as at this stage in the plant's phenology carbon reserves are lowest after the initial spring flush and therefore post-bum re-growth would be stunted. Initial slow re-growth would affect the time taken to reach maturity and the size of the plant in the next bum, thus indirectly affecting …

The Role of Nitrogen Availability, Hydroperiod and Litter Quality in Root Decomposition Along a Barrier Island Chronosequence
<p>The decomposition of organic matter regulates carbon and nutrient flux between biotic and abiotic pools. Traditional research emphasizes above ground decomposition processes and, by inference, extends these findings to below ground systems. The study, conducted along a southeastern Atlantic …

Carbon Accumulation Rates Over the Holocene in Flow Country Peatlands and the Direct Comparison of Open and Afforested Peatland Carbon Stocks Using Tephrochronology
No other terrestrial biome stores carbon as efficiently as peatland. Covering 2-3% of global land surface they are estimated to store as much as half the carbon contained in the atmosphere. With >30% peatland cover, Scotland has more blanket bog than any other country in Western Europe and are …

New Zealand seagrass (Zostera muelleri) response to acute sedimentation: Linking non-structural carbohydrate reserves to resilience
… is unable to meet metabolic demands. Hence, NSC reserves can be used to measure the impact of a disturbance and/or the resilience of seagrass. A literature review in Chapter 2 illustrates that multiple methods are used to estimate NSC reserves. Experimental comparisons of a selection of these …
