Woody plants constitute a great sink of carbon storage, mitigating thus the greenhouse effect
phenomenon. They are considered key players in ecosystems, and among others, they help …

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentrations in the earth's atmosphere are projected to rise from
current levels near 400 ppm to over 700 ppm by the end of the 21st century. Projections over …

The present investigation comprises a total of fifty potassium solubilizing bacterial (KSB)
strains which were isolated from Oryza sativa, Musa paradisiaca, Zea mays, Sorghum …

The Sundarbans, the largest mangrove ecosystem in the world, is under threat from
historical and future human exploitation and sea level rise. Limited scientific knowledge on …

Potassium (K) is an important limiting factor of tree growth, but little is known of the effects of
K supply on the long-distance transport of photosynthetic carbon (C) in the phloem and of …

Primary productivity of terrestrial vegetation is expected to increase under the influence of
increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations ([CO 2]). Depending on the fate of …

Purpose The relationships among resorption, leaf nutrient status, and soil nutrient
availability remain unresolved. Moreover, the dynamics of resorption in leaf and soil …

Aim Terrestrial ecosystems sequester about 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions annually;
however, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) limitation of plant productivity and microbial …

The upper soil provides support, water, and nutrients to terrestrial plants and is therefore
crucial for forest dynamics. We hypothesised that a tree's metabolic activity (and therefore its …

Because of global warming, the frequency and severity of droughts are expected to
increase, which will have an impact on forest ecosystem health worldwide 1. Although the …
