Synopsis The effect of soil moisture levels on the concentration of 12 elements was determined in fieldgrown Atlantic and African alfalfa; red, intermediate white, and Ladino clover; fescue, reed canarygrass, and orchardgrass. The phosphorus content in all forage species increased as soil moisture supply increased but other elements were not consistently affected.
