Effects of clipping intensity, N enrichment and their interaction on the SOD activity, POD activity, CAT activity, MDA content and proline content of younger ramets of Leymus chinensis growing in saline-alkali patches in July and September.

Moderate clipping can induce significant over-#CompensatoryGrowth in #LeymusChinensis #Clones, effectively facilitating their spatial colonization, and enhanced soil nitrogen availability amplifies the compensatory growth response induced by clipping.

Spring frost characteristics on the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains. (a) Occurrence times of spring frost at various station, (b) temperature anomalies during spring frost periods, and (c) duration of spring frost.

#BiomassAllocation in alfalfa and ryegrass ➡️ #SimulatedSpringFrost

Significant impact:
🔗 #Alfalfa:
1️⃣ High-intensity spring frost
2️⃣ Early-stage spring frost
🔗 #Ryegrass:
1️⃣ Late-stage spring frost: significant impact

Biomass allocation in different layers (divided every 10 or 20 cm along the vertical direction of the main stem) of plants that emerged in spring (ET1; a), late spring (ET2; b, c) and summer (ET3; d, e) at day 70 (80).

Shu Wang et al. found that #PlantArchitecture in #BiomassAllocation of #AbutilonTheophrasti can vary with growth stage and emergence time, transforming from an ‘inverted-cone’ shape at #VegetativeGrowthStage to a ‘vertical arch’ shape at #ReproductiveStage.
