Title: Factors limiting seasonal growth and peak biomass accumulation in Eriophorum vaginatum in Alaskan tussock tundra
Journal: Journal of Ecology
Authors: G. R. Shaver, F. Chapin III, and B. L. Gartner
Date: 1986
Summary: Clipped and unclipped plants were exposed to various light, temperature, and fertilizer treatments to determine the factor limiting the growth of Eriophorum vaginatum in an Alaskan tundra. Varying light and temperature levels did not affect plant growth, however, fertilizers greatly enhanced plant growth and nitrogen was determined to be the nutrient that was limiting growth of E. vaginatum plants in this area. Clipping reduced root biomass, individual tiller weight, and end of season total biomass, however, clipping increased N and P concentrations ...
