Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect High nitrogen seedlings grew more than low nitrogen seedlings.
- Intervention effect Restricted watering did not affect nitrogen remobilization from roots during bud burst and initial shoot elongation.
- Intervention effect At T1, water stress did not affect nitrogen uptake.
- Intervention effect At T1, high nitrogen seedlings absorbed significantly less soil nitrogen than low nitrogen seedlings.
- Intervention effect At T3, drought stressed plants had lower nitrogen uptake than well watered plants.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that fall nitrogen fertilization to increase stored nitrogen can mitigate moderate spring drought effects on growth.
