Ge et al. (2012b)

Above-ground mean biomass of all treatments of plants growing in peat monoliths maintained at three different water contents (high, normal and low) within controlled-environment chambers that mimicked boreal environmental conditions typical of the Fenno-Scandinavian region for the length of an entire growing season

Kinmonth-Schultz and Kim (2011)

Plants grown for ten weeks within closed-top chambers in a greenhouse in the summer in 13.2-liter pots of sterilized construction grade sand hosting 15 ramets, each possessing two buds, which were supplied with a full-strength Hoagland solution (HS), containing N, P and K nutrients
