Other claims from this paper (12)
- Association Green foliage and litter nutrient concentrations had clone-specific correlations.
- Association Soil nutrient availability correlated with foliage or litter nutrient concentrations by clone.
- Association Only clone significantly affected biomass yield despite site variation.
- Association N and P resorption proficiency increased as soil NO3 and P availability declined across all clones.
- Association The most productive clones were more proficient at resorbing N, P, and K.
- Observation The least productive clone had the highest N, P, and K in foliage and litter.
- Observation Clone M × B-915311 maintained high litter Ca and Mg at low-pH, low-fertility sites.
- Observation Litter-quality differences did not yield significant soil-property differences.
- Observation Litter-quality differences did not yield significant differences in litter mass after two years.
- Observation Short-term litter decay trajectories varied between clones.
- Association Litter mass remaining was strongly correlated with elevation.
- Association Plantation site significantly affected litter mass remaining.
