Title: Importance of soil moisture and its interaction with competition and clipping for two montane meadow grasses
Journal: Plant Ecology
Authors: J. S. Kluse, and B. H. A. Diaz
Date: 2005
Summary: Characteristics of Deschampsia cespitosa (tufted hairgrass) and Poa pratensis (Kentucky bluegrass) were measured at 30 montane meadow sites on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains (39° N 25\' 57", 120° W 14\' 13") to determine how clipping and soil moisture affect grass growth and competition. The results of the field study were compared to a greenhouse study that mimicked the conditions at the montane meadow as well as several other types of growing conditions. Both studies measured cover, density, aboveground biom ...
