Total root length (m) of N. reynaudiana grown in high and low P patches under heterogeneous and homogenous P distribution for 30 (top panel), and 90 days (bottom panel). T1, T2 and T3 had high P concentration gradient between patches (0 and 30 mg.kg− 1), T5, T6 and T7 had moderate P concentration gradient (7.5 and 30 mg kg− 1), T9, T10 and T11 had initial P concentration of 7.5 mg kg− 1 in the central interior patch; i.e. P-enriched patch, and subsequently high P concentration gradient between patches (0 and 30 mg kg− 1); and T4, T8 and T12 had homogenous P distribution of 15, 18.5 and 7.5 + 15 mg kg− 1, respectively. Values are mean ± SE (n = 3), * indicates significant difference at p < 0.05 and lowercase letters indicate significant difference between treatments
