Claim · model-written summary
Proline and soluble sugar contents increased in both species as soil moisture decreased, more in A. frigida.
Verbatim
e0“Proline and total soluble sugar contents of A frigida and Ahalodendron tended to increase with decrease of soil moisture and the former had a larger increaseamplitude than the latter”
