Effects of nitrogen and cutting management on root growth and productivity of a Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.) pasture
… and 10.2--20.3 cm, and analyzed for volume, dry weight and length. Soil NO3- was measured. At the 2.5 cm cut yield and fiber concentrations were higher; CP concentration was lower. Roots in the top depth had lower volume, dry weight and length. When no N was added, CP concentration of herbage …

Ecological strategies of two Ranunculus species in relation to seasonal submergence
… repens</i> plants maintain or increase their dry weight allocation to stolons in response to submergence independent of site of origin. A decrease in flowering in submerged <i>R. repens</i> plants was related to a change in the positive correlation between total dry weight and the probability …

Effects of nitrogen source and level on the growth and composition of Sinningia speciosa Lodd
… which the N source and level were varied. Shoot dry weight of gloxinias grown in an organic medium in the winter was lower with 100% NH₄ than with 100% NO₃ but was unaffected by N level, while in the fall shoot dry weight was lower with 100% NH₄ than with 0 or 50% NH₄, and was reduced at 16 …
