Effect of Soil Properties on Growth of Quercus ilex L. in Humid and Cold Mountains of Morocco

Figure 1

Growth of seedling organs: (a) Dry mass in mg/organ, (b) water content in %, (c) dry mass in % of dry mass of the whole plant, and (d) dry mass in % of dry mass of all the roots of the plant. The different letters in upper and lower case indicate the significant differences (, n = 3). The absence of letter indicates no significant difference at except for SDM. LDM: leaf dry mass; SDM: stem dry mass; MRDM: main root dry mass; SRDM: secondary root dry mass; WPDM: whole plant dry mass; L: leaves, S: stem; MR: mean root; SR: secondary roots.
