Effect of different nitrogen fertilizer application rates on Dichrostachys cinerea and Acacia karroo sapling growth, foliar nutrient and antinutrient concentrations in a southern African savanna

Nitrogen (N) fertilization influences woody plant growth, foliar nutrient and antinutrient concentrations. We conducted a nursery experiment to determine the effect of five N fertilization rates on Dichrostachys cinerea and Acacia karroo sapling height, basal diameter, growth of longest shoots and root length, crude protein (CP), acid and neutral detergent fiber (NDF), condensed tannins (CT) and total phenolic (TP) concentrations. Eight potted...
