Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association Xanthium sibiricum infructescence and seed number and biomass declined as soil thickness or water availability declined.
- Association Bidens pilosa infructescence and seed biomass increased as water availability declined.
- Association Xanthium sibiricum seed quantity and biomass were uncorrelated after parental resource reduction.
- Association Bidens pilosa seed number and seed biomass had a significant positive relationship.
- Association Xanthium sibiricum offspring seed germination rate did not change with decreasing soil thickness across water treatments.
- Association Bidens pilosa offspring seed germination rate decreased with soil thickness under control water.
- Mechanism The authors interpret Xanthium sibiricum as maintaining offspring quantity and quality to compete in shallow dry karst habitats.
- Mechanism The authors interpret Bidens pilosa production of more and larger seeds as an attempt to expand its survival range.
- Association The authors report that this Bidens pilosa strategy results in lower progeny seed number and germination rate under resource reduction.
