Figure 5: Correlation between photosynthetic rates and the square root of leaf area index of 16 plant species growing in a moderately grazed pasture. Photosynthetic rates were averaged based on measured values on 33 clear to mostly clear days during the growing seasons from 2008 to 2010, and leaf area indices were averaged values based on field surveys conducted in the same location from 2009 to 2011. Abbreviations of plant species are defined in Table 1, as well as: Psoarg=Pediomelum argophyllum (Pursh) J. Grimes [Psoralea argophylla Pursh] and Solmol=Solidago mollis Bartl.
