Interactive effects of soil nutrient heterogeneity and belowground herbivory on the growth of plants with different root foraging traits

AIMS: Plants with precise root foraging patterns can proliferate roots preferentially in nutrient-rich soil patches. When nutrients are distributed heterogeneously, this trait is often competitively advantageous in pot experiments but not field experiments. We hypothesized that this difference is du...
