Biomass and leaf-level gas exchange characteristics of three African savanna C₄ grass species under optimum growth conditions

C₄ savanna grass species, Digitaria eriantha, Eragrostis lehmanniana and Panicum repens, were grown under optimum growth conditions with the aim of characterizing their above- and below-ground biomass allocation and the response of their gas exchange to changes in light intensity, CO₂ concentration...
