Net Assimilation Rate Determines the Growth Rates of 14 Species of Subtropical Forest Trees.
Growth rates are of fundamental importance for plants, as individual size affects myriad ecological processes. We determined the factors that generate variation in RGR among 14 species of trees and shrubs that are abundant in subtropical Chinese forests. We grew seedlings for two years at four light...
