Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation At 250 µmol/(m2 s) PAR, juvenile growth rate was 80 mg/g dry mass day.
- Observation At spring light levels, most biomass was allocated to leaves.
- Observation At spring light levels, net photosynthesis was high.
- Intervention effect Reduced illumination lengthened petioles.
- Intervention effect Reduced illumination lowered leaf density.
- Intervention effect Reduced illumination enlarged the leaf pigment light-harvesting complex.
- Intervention effect Restored light activated growth.
- Intervention effect Restored light promoted storage of plastic substances in underground organs.
- Mechanism Authors interpret seasonal structural and functional changes as efficient light use in spring and autumn and lower metabolic activity in summer shade.
