Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect In all Carex species, nitrogen use efficiency decreased with increasing N supply.
- Association Nitrogen productivity of C. diandra was significantly higher than that of C. rostrata and C. acutiformis.
- Observation Mean residence time of nitrogen differed substantially between Carex species.
- Intervention effect Mean residence time of nitrogen was not significantly affected by N supply.
- Observation C. diandra had the highest nitrogen turnover rate, with the lowest mean residence time of nitrogen.
- Observation C. acutiformis had the lowest nitrogen turnover rate, with the highest mean residence time of nitrogen.
- Observation C. diandra had the lowest nitrogen use efficiency among the three Carex species.
- Observation C. acutiformis had the highest nitrogen use efficiency among the three Carex species.
- Recommendation Generalizations of NUE patterns along productivity gradients should consider which growth forms are compared.
- Recommendation Factoring NUE into its components is a useful tool for analysing the adaptive significance of the N economy of plants.
