Defoliation affects the root competitive balance for N between Poa annua plants grown in a split‐root box
Abstract Background Plants compete aboveground for light and belowground for patchily distributed nutrients. Defoliation causes an immediate loss of leaf area and photosynthetic capacity, leading to reduced root growth, with hypothesised implications for nutrient uptake and nitrogen use efficiency....
