Observation In the mildest winter, grass continued to gain weight throughout.
Observation In the mildest winter, clover lost weight.
Observation Clover lost between 60% and 95% of lamina weight, especially from leaves.

Other claims from this paper (6)

Observation Seed longevity in plants ranges from months to decades.
Observation In agricultural soils, weeds challenge future crops.
Association In natural ecosystems, climax species tend to produce shorter-lived seeds than pioneer species.

Association Species with lower wood density had lower soluble sugar increases after rain.
Association In low-WD species, plants with severe leaf loss had lower NSC than undefoliated plants.
Association No significant relationship was found between height or specific leaf area and C content or dynamics.
Association C stocks overall diminished in plants affected by prolonged drought.
Association C stocks did not increase after a pulse of seasonal rain.
Association Dynamics were faster for soluble sugars than for NSC.
