Fig. 7

Soluble sugar/starch (SS/ST) ratio concerned three compartments (leaf, stem, root) of Amorpha fruticosa (a, c, e) and Robinia pseudoacacia (b, d, f) under different defoliation treatments through time. The values shown are mean ± SE (n = 4). Different letters indicate significant differences among different defoliation treatments (p < 0.05) with Duncan’s test. CK, no defoliation; TD, defoliation of the top down 50% of the crown; BU, defoliation of the bottom up 50% of the crown
