Body
We evaluated shoot and root biomass yields of four native grasses of NSW and an introduce species in order to establish if differences in shoot- and root-biomass yields as well as root:shoot ratios existed among the species. We also explored the potential to predict root biomass from shoot biomass of each species. The species were grown in trays with conical holes of volume 180 cm3 uniformly packed with sand (0.1 – 0.8 mm grain size) amended with potting mix (50/50 v/v) in a glasshouse experiment. ...
