AN ANALYSIS OF COMPETITIVE ABILITY IN THREE PERENNIAL GRASSES
Open accessAbstract
SUMMARY: Competitive interactions between three perennial grasses of contrasted ecology were investigated using an experimental design which permitted measurement of the effects of paired species upon each other. Under productive conditions, each pairing resulted in the total elimination of one species and the order of competitive ability was Arrhenatherum elatius > Agrostis tenuis > Festuca ovina. Under conditions of severe nitrogen stress, the impact of competition upon yield was reduced but the order of competitive ability was unaffected. The results suggest (1) that competitive abilities above and below ground are interdependent and covariable and (2) that the ability to compete for mineral nutrients may be of relatively minor importance in the adaptive physiology of species colonizing very infertile soils.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
