The below graph is from Qin et al. 2024 in which the researchers grew native and non-native plant species in a variety of watering/drought treatments and measured plant root:shoot ratios at the end of the experiment. W1 pots were watered every other day, W2 pots were watered the same amount but only every 4 days, W3 pots were watered every 8 days, and W4 pots were only watered twice over the course of a summer. The researchers planted non-native seedlings into pots at the beginning of the summer and then harvested and weighed roots and shoots at the end of the summer to determine root:shoot ratios.
