A meta-analysis of leaf nitrogen distribution within plant canopies
Leaf N is generally highest in top leaves and decreases with depth in leaf canopies. Although such a gradient contributes to efficient use of canopy N for photosynthetic production, the gradient of leaf N is suboptimal...
Modelling phosphorus and reproductive phenology
Modelling phosphorus and reproductive phenology Delayed reproduction in soils with low phosphorus (P) availability is common among annuals, in contrast to the accelerated reproduction typical of other low-nutrient...
