Nutrient and secondary metabolite concentrations in a savanna are independently affected by large herbivores and shoot growth rate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Carbon-based secondary metabolites (CBSMs) such as tannins are assumed to function as plant defences against herbivores. CBSMs are thought to be inversely related to growth rate and nutrient concentrations because a ...
