Do morphological changes mediate plant responses to water stress? A steady-state experiment with two C4 grasses
• We hypothesized that plant growth reduction under water stress is caused primarily by a reduction of leaf-area ratio (LAR, leaf area per unit of total plant dry mass). • Two perennial Chihuahuan desert grass species (slow-growing Bouteloua eriopoda and fast-growing Eragrostis lehmanniana) were s...
