The direction of carbon and nitrogen fluxes between ramets in Agrostis stolonifera changes during ontogeny under simulated competition for light.

In mother ramets, the effect of integration alone was not significant, but integration with shaded daughters had a marginally significant negative effect on the growth of mothers ( Table 5 , Fig. 4 ) Discussion Our results showed changes in the translocation of both above-ground (carbon) and below-ground (nitrogen) resources between mother and daughter ramets of Agrostis stolonifera during the course of daughter ramet development, as well as an effect of light gradients on resource translocation.
