Higher leaf nitrogen content is linked to tighter stomatal regulation of transpiration and more efficient water use across dryland trees
The least‐cost economic theory of photosynthesis shows that water and nitrogen are
mutually substitutable resources to achieve a given carbon gain. However, vegetation in the …

Different responses of leaf and root traits to changes in soil nutrient availability do not converge into a community-level plant economics spectrum
Background and aims Spatial heterogeneity in soil can influence the distribution of plant
communities because plants differ in their ability to acquire resources. In nutrient-poor soils …
