Root: shoot ratio in develo** seedlings: How seedlings change their allocation in response to seed mass and ambient nutrient supply

T Mašková, T Herben - Ecology and evolution, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Root: shoot (R: S) biomass partitioning is one of the keys to the plants' ability to
compensate for limiting resources in the environment and thus to survive and succeed in …

Contrasting effects of biochar on phosphorus dynamics and bioavailability in different soil types

ML Bornø, DS Müller-Stöver, F Liu - Science of the Total Environment, 2018 - Elsevier
We investigated how two different biochars (wood biochar-WBC and straw biochar-SBC)
affected P dynamics and bioavailability in five different soils differing in pH, C%, texture, Fe …

Does reducing seed-P concentrations affect seedling vigor and grain yield of rice?

J Pariasca-Tanaka, E Vandamme, A Mori, Z Segda… - Plant and Soil, 2015 - Springer
Aims Phosphorus (P) removed in grains causes losses of P from fields each year. Reducing
grain P may therefore improve the P efficiency of crop** systems. This study quantified …
