Silicon uptake by a pasture grass experiencing simulated grazing is greatest under elevated precipitation
Abstract Background Grasses are hyper-accumulators of silicon (Si) and often up-regulate Si following herbivory. Positive correlations exist between Si and plant water content, yet the extent to which Si uptake responses can be mediated by changes in soil water availability has rarely been studied a...
