Hierarchical reproductive allocation and allometry within a perennial bunchgrass after 11 years of nutrient addition.
Bunchgrasses are one of the most important plant functional groups in grassland ecosystems. Reproductive allocation (RA) for a bunchgrass is a hierarchical process; however, how bunchgrasses adjust their RAs along hierarchical levels in response to nutrient addition has never been addressed. Here, u...
