“…Among non-woody plants, the even lower fine-root tissue density of graminoid species as compared to those of forbs is generally consistent with the absence of secondary growth generally observed in graminoids (Kutschera 1960;Craine et al 2001;Roumet et al 2008). However, in contrast to results from a previous synthesis (Kerkhoff et al 2006; but see Salpagarova et al 2014), we observe lower fine-root N in graminoid than in woody species, and no difference in fine-root N between forb and woody species. In the light of fine-root economics, the low N concentration of graminoids, which is characteristic of resource-conservative species, is surprising as graminoids also show high SRL and low fine-root tissue density.…”
