Abstract/Contents: | "This study tested predictions about the effect of soil nutrient availability on compensatory growth by grazed plants. A factorial experiment was conducted in the greenhouse to examine effects of soil nutrient availability (three soil types differing in content of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium) on total leaf length and biomass of three perennial grasses (Poa compressa, Poa pratensis, and Dactylis glomerata) that were subjected to simulated grazing (plants clipped 2 cm above the soil). Clipped plants of D. glomerata were not able to compensate for lost biomass in one soil type, and clipped plants of P. pratensis did not compensate for an initial reduction in total leaf length in another soil type. Otherwise, clipped plants compensated for lost biomass or leaf length independent of soil type. These results indicate that soil nutrient availability may affect compensatory growth by clipped plants, but compensatory responses of the three grasses studied here were only partly consistent with predictions of current models." |
