Strength and size of phosphorus-rich patches determine the foraging strategy of Neyraudia reynaudiana

Abstract Background Under natural conditions, soil nutrients are heterogeneously distributed, and plants have developed adaptation strategies to efficiently forage patchily distributed nutrient. Most previous studies examined either patch strength or patch size separately and focused mainly on root...
