Increased nitrogen deposition increased the competitive effects of the invasive plant Aegilops tauschii on wheat

Based on an external nitrogen source NH4NO3, the impacts of different nitrogen deposition treatments (i.e., CK, N5, N10, and N15) on the growth of the A. tauschii and its competition with wheat were investigated. This experiment was conducted in pots using simulated N deposition tests. The results showed that: (1) the plant height, leaf area, and tiller number of both monocultured and mixed planted A. tauschii and wheat increased gradually with...
