- Method / resource The two models fit growth data with little statistical difference.
- Method / resource Model 1 parameter estimates conflicted with assumptions about growth physiology.
- Method / resource Model 1 made unrealistic predictions under acute nitrogen deficiency.
- Method / resource Model 2 offered a better mechanistic interpretation of growth data.
- Method / resource Model 2 predictions closely matched observed growth rate and nitrogen relationships for whole plants and shoots.
- Observation Nitrogen transfer to roots was greater in cabbage than lettuce.
