Hardwood Seedling Root and Nutrient Parameters for a Model of Nutrient Uptake

Abstract: Use of mechanistic models is an increasingly accepted way to evaluate complex processes. The Barber-Cushman model provides a means to simulate nutrient uptake once information on root system characteristics, nutrient uptake, and soil nutrient supply are developed. Objectives of this study were to determine during a growing season: (i) root growth for 1-yr-old black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.), northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.), and red maple (Acer rubrum L.) seedlings; (ii) net plant increase in N, P, K, … Show more

“…For the traits of our base species, we set root N concentration to 10 mg N g −1 biomass, root tissue density to 2 × 10 −4 g mm −3 and median longevity to 0.5 yr. Consequently, equilibrium below‐ground productivity was equivalent to 250 g m −2 yr −1 to 10 cm depth and equilibrium biomass was 180 g m −2 , which is the equivalent of 90 roots per 100 × 100 grid. Measurements of nitrate uptake kinetics of grasses are rare and we used values measured on Acer rubrum (Kelly et al ., 2000, 2001). I max , K m and C min were set to 100 × 10 −12 mmol mm −2 s −1 , 1.0 × 10 −6 mmol mm −3 and 2.0 × 10 −9 mmol mm −3 , respectively.…”

“…In perennial plant species, in spite of the evidence for changes in root physiological properties (Escamilla and Comerford 2000; Kelly et al 2001), most studies used similar models as those developed for annual plants to simulate nutrient acquisition (Cropper and Comerford 2005;Gregory 2006;Kabba et al 2009;Kelly et al 1992;Lin and Kelly 2010). To satisfy the hypothesis of stability of plant physiological properties, most of these works on perennial plant species were conducted in controlled conditions, i.e.…”

“…mesocosm, for short time periods ranging from several weeks to months. Under these conditions, adequate simulations of nutrient uptake for several perennial species such as loblolly pine (Pinus taeda, Kelly et al 2001), maritime pine (Pinus pinaster, Jonard et al 2010) or poplar (Populus tremula, Kelly and Ericsson 2003) were performed when soil nutrient availability was high. However, such results obtained over short time periods can hardly be used to estimate nutrient acquisition over longer study periods.…”

“…Mechanistic nutrient uptake modeling has been shown to successfully estimate availability of plant nutrients from soils (Barber, 1995;Tinker and Nye, 2000). The Cushman-Barber simulation model (Barber, 1995) has been used to predict P uptake in both agronomic crop species (Chen and Barber, 1990;Lu and Miller, 1994) and woody plant species (Kelly et al, 1992(Kelly et al, , 2001. The Cushman-Barber model uses three parameters to describe the soil nutrient supply process: initial concentration, buffering capacity, and diffusion coefficient.…”
