Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Carex acutiformis had the highest production in all soils.
- Association Carex acutiformis changed belowground biomass allocation with soil P status.
- Observation Carex acutiformis specific root length and root length to leaf area ratio did not change with P status.
- Observation Carex lasiocarpa had intermediate biomass production.
- Observation Carex diandra had low biomass production in all three fen soils.
- Observation Carex diandra specific root length and root weight ratio did not change with P status.
- Observation All three Carex species grew best under P-poor conditions.
- Observation All three Carex species had very reduced growth on P-limited soil.
- Association Carex phosphorus uptake was lowest under P-deficient conditions.
- Association Carex nitrogen uptake was lower in P-deficient soil than the other two soils.
- Observation The authors conclude that the small Carex species success in nutrient poor sites is not explained by superior growth or nutrient uptake.
