Effects of shading on biomass production.

Abstract

<p>The log ratio of the change in shoot biomass (relative values) during (A) Pre-shading, (B) Post-shading and (C) Recovery and in root biomass (relative values) during (D) Pre-shading, (E) Post-shading and (F) Recovery in shaded and non-shaded mono- and polycultures. To ascertain equal samples at each sampling event, Pre-shading treatments that had not received shading were labeled shaded (see Materials and Methods). Statistical analyses presented in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0064064#pone-0064064-t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a>.</p
