Root nutrient concentration and biomass allocation are more plastic than morphological traits in response to nutrient limitation

Background and aims Understanding the magnitude of phenotypic plasticity within a species is important, particularly when comparing species from diverse habitats or when using traits from global databases. Our objective was to quantify the magnitude of intraspecific variability of fine root, stem, a...
