Abstract
Nine species comprised over 95% of the understorey foliage weight of the 20 vascular species present. The weights of the individual species were interrelated. Both plant size and shade tolerance contributed to these relationships. The foliage of the understorey contained between 37 and 44% of the dry weight, K, Ca, Mg, P and N of all the foliage in the stand.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
