Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation The grasses had similar potential growth rates at warm soil temperatures.
- Intervention effect A. desertorum had 66% greater aboveground relative growth rate than A. spicatum under prolonged cold greenhouse soil temperature.
- Observation Early spring tiller growth rates did not show the greenhouse difference in the field.
- Observation A. desertorum had greater winter and early spring root growth than A. spicatum.
- Observation A. desertorum invaded disturbed soil faster than A. spicatum, especially soon after snowmelt.
- Observation A. desertorum roots proliferated sooner than A. spicatum in early spring nutrient enrichment zones.
- Observation Later in spring A. desertorum extracted more water than A. spicatum.
- Observation Later in spring A. desertorum acquired more radiophosphorus than A. spicatum.
- Association Resource extraction differences occurred weeks before A. spicatum reached maximum root length.
- Mechanism Early root growth probably gives A. desertorum a seasonal head start in soil exploration.
- Mechanism Resource extraction differences appear only when plant demand exceeds soil supply to roots.
