Growth responses of four sub-Arctic dwarf shrubs to simulated environmental change
Summary 1 Vegetative responses of Empetrum hermaphroditum, Vaccinium vitis-idaea, V. uli ginosum and V. myrtillus to environmental change (temperature (T), water (W) and fertilizer (F)) were investigated in a factorial field perturbation study in sub-Arctic Sweden over two growing seasons (1991 and...
