Based on the observation that organism‐specific elemental content creates ecologically relevant mismatches such as between plant and animal tissue, it was postulated—and …
Abstract C, N and P are three of the most important elements used to build living beings, and their uptake from the environment is consequently essential for all organisms. We have …

Summary 1 Nitrogen and phosphorus supply influences the rate of litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics during decomposition. Besides the total amount of N and P available to …

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the N/P ratio on biomass growth with the simultaneous removal of nutrients from municipal wastewaters. An optical panel …
It is widely recognized that the stoichiometry of nutrient elements in phytoplankton varies within the ocean. However, there are many conflicting mechanistic explanations for this …
Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 244–250 Abstract One of the most intriguing patterns in the biosphere is the similarity of the atomic nitrogen‐to‐phosphorus ratio (N: P)= 16 found in …
We aim to define the best nutrient limitation indicator predicting phytoplankton biomass increase as a result of nutrient enrichment (N, P, or both). We compare the abilities of …
In their seminal paper, Goldman et al. suggested that phytoplankton close to maximum growth rate attains a restricted optimal N: P ratio close to the Redfield ratio of molar N: P= 16 …
We studied the impacts of anthropogenic changes in land use on the stoichiometric imbalance of soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in Phragmites …
