Fine root dynamics for forests on contrasting soils in the Colombian Amazon

Jimenez, Eliana; Patiño, Sandra; Peñuela, Maria Cristina; Moreno, F. H.; Lloyd, Jon (Copernicus Publications, 2009)

It has been hypothesized that as soil fertility increases, the amount of carbon allocated to below-ground production (fine roots) should decrease. To evaluate this hypothesis, we measured the standing crop fine root mass ...

Regional and large-scale patterns in Amazon forest structure and function are mediated by variations in soil physical and chemical properties

Quesada, C. A.; Lloyd, Jon; Schwarz, M.; Baker, T. R.; Phillips, O. L.; Patiño, Sandra; Czimczi, C.; Hodnett, M. G.; Herrera, R.; Arneth, A.; Lloyd, G.; Malhi, Y.; Dezzeo, N.; Luizâo, F.

Forest structure and dynamics have been noted to vary across the Amazon Basin in an east-west gradient in a pattern which coincides with variations in soil fertility and geology. This has resulted in the hypothesis that ...
