The role of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage by trees will be discussed in terms of
uncoupling their growth from resource acquisition. There are profound differences between …

Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important nutrients for plant growth. However, improper
management of N fertilization in agriculture has led to a large amount of nitrate leaching …

Although perennial fruit crops represent 1% of global agricultural land, they are of a great
economic importance in world trade and in the economy of many regions. The perennial …

Forest ecosystems with low soil nitrogen (N) availability are characterized by direct
competition for this growth‐limiting resource between several players, ie various …

Fertilization of temperate fruit trees, such as grapevine (Vitis spp.), apple (Malus domestica),
and pear (Pyrus communis) is an important tool to achive maximum yield and fruit quality …

In 2018, 23.2 Mt of pears were produced in the world across 1.3 million hectares (ha) of
cultivated land. This review analyzes different training systems and management styles that …

Plants require inorganic nutrients in addition to carbon dioxide and water for growth and
production. Nutrients are present in soil, but get depleted unless supplied through …

The distribution of nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) pools in 100-year-old sessile oaks was
investigated in situ at four key periods of tree phenology. Leaves, twigs, trunk and roots were …

Non-destructive and timely determination of leaf nitrogen (N) concentration is urgently
needed for N management in pear orchards. A two-year field experiment was conducted in a …

Understanding the fate of nitrogen (N) in agricultural soils as affected by crop N uptake is
important in order to develop management practices that maximize nitrogen uptake …
