Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Community green leaf nitrogen concentration did not differ significantly among restoration sites.
- Observation Community senesced leaf nitrogen concentration did not differ significantly among sites.
- Observation Community nitrogen resorption efficiency did not differ significantly among sites.
- Observation Community aboveground biomass did not differ significantly among sites.
- Observation Poaceae had higher nitrogen resorption efficiency than forbs.
- Observation Poaceae had lower senesced-leaf nitrogen than forbs and Fabaceae.
- Observation Poaceae replaced forbs as the dominant group during restoration.
- Observation Soil nutrient availability increased as restoration progressed.
- Association Poaceae nitrogen resorption efficiency declined with increasing soil nutrients.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that Poaceae low-nitrogen litter and nutrient uptake may slow soil nutrient accumulation.
- Recommendation The authors suggest managing Poaceae dominance to improve nutrient enrichment and biodiversity in restored grasslands.
