Studies on ecological stoichiometry (ES) have increased rapidly in number in recent years.
Continuous exploration of classical concepts such as the growth-rate hypothesis (GRH),) …

Increased soil N availability may often facilitate plant invasions. Therefore, lowering N
availability might reduce these invasions and favor desired species. Here, we review the …

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is a recognized threat to plant diversity in temperate
and northern parts of Europe and North America. This paper assesses evidence from field …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability limit plant growth in most terrestrial ecosystems.
This review examines how variation in the relative availability of N and P, as reflected by N …

Abstract 1 Herbivores, edaphic features and fire are primary factors regulating the balance
between woody and herbaceous vegetation in savannas. Many observational studies have …

Small‐scale fertilization experiments have shown that soil nutrients limit plant productivity in
many semiarid grasslands and savannas, but linkages among nutrients, grasses, and …

The effect of grazing was studied on vegetation structure, herbaceous biomass, basal and
bare ground covers, together with soil nutrient concentrations in two locations in an …

Competition and compatibility between livestock and wildlife in Africa has been a point of
considerable speculation, with implications for conservation. However, controlled replicated …

We examined patterns of nutrient heterogeneity in the mineral soil (0–15 cm depth) of 13
southern Appalachian forest stands in western North Carolina> 60 yr after abandonment …

Large herbivores can both positively and negatively affect primary productivity and rates of
nutrient cycling in different ecosystems. Positive effects of grazers in grasslands have been …
