Abstract
Researches effects of simulated belowground herbivory on Solidago canadensis. When roots were removed through pruning, current shoots quickly restored equilibrium through compensatory belowground growth. When plants were fertilized, shoots increased allocation to aboveground parts. Unfertilized plants showed very little aboveground growth.Suggested Citation
