Adaptation of the C4 grass Panicum maximum to defoliation is related to plasticity of N uptake, mobilisation and allocation patterns

Dry mass production and persistence of Panicum maximum pastures depends on nitrogen supply.Defoliation influences N uptake and allocation patterns yet its effects on plasticity of N dynamics in P.maximum have not been investigated.Stable isotopes of N (15N) were used in order to test the hypothesis that defoliation in terms of proportion of the lea
