Functional equilibrium: sense or nonsense?

Open access
Brouwer, R.·1983·Netherlands Journal of Agricultural Science

Abstract

DM distribution in shoots and roots of vegetative plants depending on various environmental conditions and experimental interventions is discussed. Because of the difficulties in maintaining conditions at a sufficiently constant level for some time, functional equilibria are not likely to exist during prolonged periods of time. From the responses occurring after transferring plants including perennial ryegrass and maize from one condition to another or after disturbance of existing relationships, it is demonstrated once more that nutritional control, i.e. functional control, of distribution is still the most reasonable interpretation of the observed reaction patterns.

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.
