Claim · model-written summary
Reducing photon flux density decreased Rumex relative growth rate by 38%.
Verbatim
e0“The decrease in the relative growth rate that resulted from reducing the photon flux density from 500 to 50 μmol m −2 s −1 was lower for R. obtusifolius (−38%) than for L. perenne (−53%).”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Rumex relative growth rate always exceeded Lolium.
- Observation Rumex allocated more dry matter to leaves than Lolium.
- Observation Rumex specific leaf area and leaf area ratio increased.
- Intervention effect Reducing photon flux density decreased Lolium relative growth rate by 53%.
- Intervention effect Rumex net assimilation rate decreased less than the grass under reduced light.
- Observation Rumex seedlings maximized dry matter production at low photon flux density.
- Observation Shade of an established sward may not prevent Rumex seedling establishment.
