Background Many biological questions about N availability and the N cycle require
knowledge of the abundance and identity of molecules comprising the pool of organic N …

This paper reviews current knowledge of Eucalyptus pellita plantations to identify
management practices for optimizing productivity and maintaining sustainability in the …

Aim Anthropogenic additions of nitrogen (N) are expected to drive terrestrial ecosystems
toward greater phosphorus (P) limitation. However, a comprehensive understanding of how …

Leaf N and P stoichiometry covaries with many aspects of plant biology, yet the drivers of
this trait at biogeographic scales remain uncertain. Recently we reported the patterns of leaf …

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 …

Forest managers now operate in an information-rich but increasingly challenging
environment in which the competing demands of environmental stewardship and …

Leaf traits related to life-span and nutrient-use efficiency were studied in the dominant
Hawaiian tree species, Metrosideros polymorpha, at both ends of a natural fertility gradient …

The sustainability of plantation forests requires the consideration of environmental and
economic factors. Fertilization is an important practice in eucalypt plantations that should be …

The native tree Metrosideros polymorpha dominates Hawaiian forests across a very wide
range of soil fertility, including both sites where forest production is limited by nitrogen (N) …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the nutrients that most commonly limit tree growth.
Interactions between fertilization and soil type are well known, and in soils with moderate or …
