2.3.2 Growth and biomass
At the end of the experiment, the number of tillers was recorded and the
plant height was measured as the distance from the highest point of the
stem and leaves to the ground for each S. krylovii individual.
The shoots and roots were carefully harvested by pot and dried in an
oven at 60℃ for 72 h to obtain the aboveground biomass and belowground
biomass.
