Christian Körner has been at the forefront of research investigating treelines, and in the late
1990s and early 2000s he proposed a unifying theory to explain the global occurrence of …

High yield and product quality of crops grown in soilless systems are only possible if
nutrition is optimized. This implies the accurate management of all factors involved in crop …

Root phenoty** is a challenging task, mainly because of the hidden nature of this organ.
Only recently, imaging technologies have become available that allow us to elucidate the …

Aim Across all latitudes, high‐elevation tree lines represent a drastic change in the dominant
plant life‐form, from upright trees to low‐stature alpine plants. Although associated with low …

In view of the current increase of atmospheric CO 2 concentrations, the question if carbon is
a limiting resource for tree growth or not gained large attention over the last decades. This …

1. As essential compounds of plant cell walls, hemicelluloses account for about a quarter of
all plant biomass worldwide. 2. In seed cotyledons and endosperm of species from several …

The nutrient uptake and allocation of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) seedlings at different
root-zone temperatures (RZT) and different concentrations of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) …

Summary 1 Natural climatic driven tree line positions follow a mean growing season
temperature of around 6° C in seasonal as well as non‐seasonal climates. The influence of …

Abstract Effects of root-zone temperatures (RZT)(12° C-RZT and 20° C-RZT) and different N,
P, and K nutrient regimes on the growth, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and antioxidant …

Temperature is the most important factor driving the cold edge distribution limit of temperate
trees. Here, we identified the minimum temperatures for root growth in seven broad-leaved …
