Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Plant growth was linear during establishment.
- Observation Nutrient concentrations stayed relatively constant or declined during establishment.
- Association The percent biomass increase always exceeded the percent nutrient-concentration decline.
- Observation About 50% of biomass was lost over winter, mainly foliage.
- Observation Within six spring weeks, plant size recovered to the previous autumn level.
- Observation Roots alone lost biomass during fruiting.
- Observation Foliar nutrient concentrations showed varying patterns during fruiting.
- Observation Nutrient limitations likely have their strongest effects during the fluctuating fruiting period.
