Abstract: Abstract Little is known about environmental factors that mitigate or intensify drought effects on tree functioning. We hypothesized that higher nutrient availability and manipulations of the source:sink ratio can partially compensate negative drought effects when… read more here.

Abstract: Trade-offs between growth and reproduction in soybean require resource availability manipulations. Decapitation and reducing sink strength through deflowering can affect the source–sink ratio that affects plant growth, development, and yield. The current study assesses the… read more here.
