Humans are transforming the biosphere in unprecedented ways, raising the important
question of how these impacts are changing biodiversity. Here we argue that our …

This study examined the literature in ISI Web of Science to identify the effects that the main
drivers of global change have on the nutrient concentrations and C: N: P stoichiometry of …

Highly diverse microbial assemblages colonize plant roots. It is still poorly understood
whether different members of this root microbiome act synergistically by supplying different …

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 …

Studies on ecological stoichiometry (ES) have increased rapidly in number in recent years.

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 …

Background and aims Nitrogen (N) and/or phosphorus (P) limitation to primary productivity
and other biological processes can change in a variety of ways as ecosystems develop …

This book provides an introductory text in ecology aimed at undergraduate students and is
divided into sections entitled: introduction; conditions and resources; individuals …

Potassium (K+) is the most abundant inorganic cation in plant cells, playing a critical role in
various plant functions. However, the impacts of K on natural terrestrial ecosystems have …
