Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Seed size increased with grazing intensity.
- Observation The coefficient of variation exceeded 0.6 for seed size and seed number under heavy grazing.
- Association The model found a negative grazing effect on reproductive stem weight.
- Intervention effect Grazing did not affect resource allocation to reproductive and vegetative stems per unit length.
- Intervention effect Heavy grazing significantly reduced the number of reproductive individuals relative to no grazing.
- Association The negative spatial correlation between reproductive and nonreproductive individuals became negative at small scales and positive at large scales.
