Biomass allocation of three sandhills
grasses with
spatially
different nutrient regimes
Teresa L. Hock and Beverly Collins
Conclusions
| • |
The lack of mass differences between enriched and unenriched quads in pots suggests that roots of the three grasses do not finely track soil nutrient heterogeneity.
|
| • |
Greater overall root mass of Aristida in C8 than E8 suggests that soil nutrient heterogeneity promotes root mass in this species.
|
| • |
Andropogon and Aristida do not allocate more biomass to shoots in a more heterogenous or more enriched environment.
|
| • | Spatially heterogenous nutrients in pots enhanced overall root growth of Aristida, but grass roots do not track enriched and unenriched patches. |
