Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Light environment affected leaf energy partitioning and photosynthetic characteristics more than competition or allelopathy.
- Association The quantum yield of PSII in invasive P. serotina increased with a competitor.
- Observation P. serotina had higher crown-level net CO 2 assimilation than Q. petraea.
- Observation Juvenile P. serotina had a higher relative growth rate than Q. petraea.
- Observation Juvenile P. serotina allocated more biomass to foliage than Q. petraea.
- Observation Juvenile P. serotina used absorbed light for photosynthesis more efficiently than Q. petraea.
- Observation Q. petraea allocated more biomass to roots than P. serotina.
- Mechanism Greater root allocation in Q. petraea may support belowground competition and coexistence with P. serotina.
