Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Drought reduced white clover leaf size and dry matter by over 50%.
- Intervention effect Strawberry clover leaf size and dry matter remained unaffected by drought.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced white clover photosynthesis nearly 50%.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced white clover leaf water potential by over one third.
- Observation Under drought, strawberry clover maintained higher water status, photosynthesis and transpiration than white clover.
- Recommendation Authors suggest testing strawberry clover as a pasture complement or alternative in droughtprone environments.
