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

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

Article describes how silicon can be important for the growth, functioning, and stoichiometric regulation of nutrients for high-Si-accumulating bamboo. The authors demonstrated that silicon supply can decrease the ratio of C:Si in bamboo leaves and increase the ratio of N:P without altering nutrient status or the N:P ratio of tree spalings.
