Definition
- [R. M. Ceriani] Relative growth rate (RGR) is a fundamental trait for comparative plant ecology but cannot be\ measured in situ, leading to problems in interpreting vegetation function. However, the components\ of RGR (net assimilation rate (NAR), leaf area ratio (LAR), leaf weight ratio (LWR), and specific\ leaf area (SLA)) can be calculated for wild plants from morphological measurements (leaf area, leaf\ dry mass, whole plant dry mass), which potentially reflect RGR. Seeds of 19 species from Italian\ prealpine calcareous grasslands were collected and seedlings were cultivated under controlled\ conditions...
