Nutrient acquisition by orchid mycorrhiza
Results suggest that orchid mycorrhizal fungi can differentiate between niches in a constrained, highly resource-limited environment.
Responses of legumes to temperature and low phosphorus
Suriyagoda et al. investigate root and shoot responses of three perennial legumes (Cullen cinereum, Kennedia nigricans and Lotus australis) to a range of temperatures at limited phosphorus supply and find that faster...
Mineral nutrient stoichiometry of Hedera seeds
Analysis of variability in mineral allocation to seeds has rarely been considered in relation to allometric patterns and deviations from the allometric trajectory. Obeso examines the scaling of carbon, nitrogen...

Gender segregation and sex allocation in pine
Many sex-ratio-related studies have focused on dioecious or monoecious herbaceous plants, but relatively few have looked at trees. Ne’eman et al. examine changes in gender segregation and sex allocation in Pinus...
