Figure Lengend Snippet: N, P, and, K concentrations in different aboveground organs during the reproductive period of four Calligonum species in a common garden. CC, CA, CR, and CK refer to Calligonum caput-medusae , Calligonum arborescens , Calligonum rubicundum , and Calligonum klementzii , respectively. FP, UFP, and RFP refer to the flowering phase, unripe fruit phase, and ripe fruit phase, respectively. α, β, and γ: markers for differences between different reproductive periods for the same organ and the same species. A, B, and C markers for differences between different organs within the same species and the same period. a, b, and c markers for significant differences between the same organs in different species within the same period.
Article Snippet: A nested ANOVA (analysis of variance) was used to analyze the relative contributions of reproductive stages, species, and organs to the variation in stoichiometric traits among the four Calligonum species (Nested Procedure, SAS version 8.0; SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA) ( ).
