Multiple phosphorus acquisition strategies adopted by fine roots in low-fertili...
Lugli, Laynara F.; Andersen, Kelly M.; Aragao, L. E.O.C.; Cordeiro, Amanda L.; Cunha, Hellen Fernanda Viana; Fuchslueger, Lucia; Meir, Patrick W.Background and aims: Ancient Amazon soils are characterised by low concentrations of soil phosphorus (P). Therefore, it is hypothesised that plants may invest a substantial proportion of their resources belowground to adjust their P-uptake strategies, including root morphological, physiological (phosphatase enzyme activities) and biotic (arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) associations) adaptations. Since these strateg...
Amazon forest ecosystem responses to elevated atmospheric Co2 and alterations i...
Hofhansl, Florian; Andersen, Kelly M.; Fleischer, Katrin; Fuchslueger, Lucia; Rammig, Anja; Schaap, Karst J.; Valverde-Barrantes, Oscar J.The impacts of elevated atmospheric CO2 (eCO2) and alterations in nutrient availability on the carbon (C) storage capacity and resilience of the Amazon forest remain highly uncertain. Carbon dynamics are controlled by multiple eco-physiological processes responding to environmental change, but we lack solid experimental evidence, hampering theory development and thus representation in ecosystem models. Here, we...
Climatic and edaphic controls over tropical forest diversity and vegetation car...
Hofhansl, Florian; Chacón-Madrigal, Eduardo; Fuchslueger, Lucia; Jenking, Daniel; Morera-Beita, Albert; Plutzar, Christoph; Silla, FernandoTropical rainforests harbor exceptionally high biodiversity and store large amounts of carbon in vegetation biomass. However, regional variation in plant species richness and vegetation carbon stock can be substantial, and may be related to the heterogeneity of topoedaphic properties. Therefore, aboveground vegetation carbon storage typically differs between geographic forest regions in association with the loc...
