Herbaceous vegetation under temperate climatic conditions generally shows nitrogen-or phosphorus-limited plant growth, which creates conditions for a high botanical diversity. Is …
Publisher Summary In this chapter, the advances that have been made in understanding the ecology of the mineral nutrition of wild plants from terrestrial ecosystems have been …

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 …

Summary 1 Ratios of nitrogen to phosphorus (N: P) in plant foliage have been used to assess nutrient limitation in wetland ecosystems and to indicate nitrogen saturation …

The use of nutrient concentrations in plant biomass as easily measured indicators of nutrient availability and limitation has been the subject of a controversial debate. In particular, it has …
Few wetland studies from temperate North America have related either species richness or plant community composition to any direct measure of nutrient availability, or examined …
We evaluated whether the kind of nutrient limitation (N, P, or K) may affect species richness– productivity patterns and subsequently may explain variation in species richness and in …
