The elemental stoichiometry of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and its relationships with organismic lifestyle and ecosystem structure and function: a review and …

J Sardans, A Rivas-Ubach, J Penuelas - Biogeochemistry, 2012 - Springer
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 …

Differential Nutrient Limitation of Soil Microbial Biomass and Metabolic Quotients (qCO2): Is There a Biological Stoichiometry of Soil Microbes?

WH Hartman, CJ Richardson - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Background Variation in microbial metabolism poses one of the greatest current
uncertainties in models of global carbon cycling, and is particularly poorly understood in …

C: N: P stoichiometry and nutrient limitation of the soil microbial biomass in a grazed grassland site under experimental P limitation or excess

BS Griffiths, A Spilles, M Bonkowski - Ecological Processes, 2012 - Springer
Introduction The availability of essential nutrients, such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P),
can feedback on soil carbon (C) and the soil microbial biomass. Natural cycles can be …

Are you what you eat? Physiological constraints on organismal stoichiometry in an elementally imbalanced world

PC Frost, MA Evans‐White, ZV Finkel, TC Jensen… - Oikos, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The relative supply of energy and elements available to organisms in the environment has
strong effects on their physiology, which, in turn, can alter important ecological processes …

N: P stoichiometry and protein: RNA ratios in vascular plants: an evaluation of the growth‐rate hypothesis

V Matzek, PM Vitousek - Ecology Letters, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The growth‐rate hypothesis states that fast‐growing organisms need relatively more
phosphorus‐rich RNA to support rapid rates of protein synthesis, and therefore predicts …

Does Liebig's law of the minimum scale up from species to communities?

M Danger, T Daufresne, F Lucas, S Pissard, G Lacroix - Oikos, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Liebig's law of the minimum, which states that only one element limits the growth of
organisms at any given time, is widely used in ecology. This principle is routinely applied to …

A genomic perspective on stoichiometric regulation of soil carbon cycling

WH Hartman, R Ye, WR Horwath, SG Tringe - The ISME journal, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Similar to plant growth, soil carbon (C) cycling is constrained by the availability of nitrogen
(N) and phosphorus (P). We hypothesized that stoichiometric control over soil microbial C …

Recent advances in ecological stoichiometry: insights for population and community ecology

SJ Moe, RS Stelzer, MR Forman, WS Harpole… - Oikos, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Conventional theories of population and community dynamics are based on a single
currency such as number of individuals, biomass, carbon or energy. However, organisms …

Bioavailable DOC: reactive nutrient ratios control heterotrophic nutrient assimilation—An experimental proof of the macronutrient-access hypothesis

D Graeber, Y Tenzin, M Stutter, G Weigelhofer… - Biogeochemistry, 2021 - Springer
We investigate the" macronutrient-access hypothesis", which states that the balance
between stoichiometric macronutrient demand and accessible macronutrients controls …
