Silicon supply promotes differences in growth and C:N:P stoichiometry between bamboo and tree saplings

Abstract Background Si can be important for the growth, functioning, and stoichiometric regulation of nutrients for high-Si-accumulating bamboo. However, other trees do not actively take up dissolved silicic acid [Si(OH)4] from the soil, likely because they have fewer or no specific Si transporters...
