Species‐specific responses of foliar nutrients to long‐term nitrogen and phosphorus additions in a lowland tropical forest (2014, background): “trees (Vergutz et al. 2012), suggesting it is a robust estimate.”
Scaling from individual trees to forests in an Earth system modeling framework using a mathematically tractable model of height-structured competition (2015, background): “25(1−p(t)) represents the retranslocated carbon stored by a tree in the non-growing season, when p(t)< 1, assuming that a quarter of leaf carbon is retranslocated after senescence (Vergutz et al., 2012).”
Patterns and Mechanisms of Nutrient Resorption in Plants (2015, methodology): “…studies have provided both positive and contradictory evidence for these null claims (Eckstein et al., 1999; Diehl et al., 2003; Yuan et al., 2005b; Yuan and Chen, 2009a), supported by increased efforts with global syntheses and updated research methods (Vergutz et al., 2012; Yuan and Chen, 2015b).”
Effects of nitrogen and phosphorus supply on growth rate, leaf stoichiometry, and nutrient resorption of Arabidopsis thaliana (2014, neutral): “These acclimatory responses can alter the stoichiometry and nutrient resorption efficiency of the plant (Aerts and Chapin 2000; Elser et al. 2010b; Vergutz et al. 2012).”
Age-Related Modulation of the Nitrogen Resorption Efficiency Response to Growth Requirements and Soil Nitrogen Availability in a Temperate Pine Plantation (2016, background): “The exogenous N input did not alter the annual N requirement for leaves, branches, and stems, but increased the annual N requirement for roots, although the increase was significant only in the 45-year-old stands (Table 3).”
Is Tree Species Diversity or Species Identity the More Important Driver of Soil Carbon Stocks, C/N Ratio, and pH? (2016, result): “This higher C/N ratio 385 could be caused by higher retranslocation of N by the above- and below-ground biomass before litterfall as a 386 result of competition for N as reported from other studies of mixtures and monocultures (Vogt et al., 1989; 387 Oelmann et al., 2010; Vergutz et al., 2012).”
Foliar nutrient concentrations and resorption efficiency in plants of contrasting nutrient‐acquisition strategies along a 2‐million‐year dune chronosequence (2014, background): “Grey dashed lines indicate global averages for (a) mature leaf [P], (b) senesced leaf [P], and (c) P-resorption efficiency, uncorrected for leaf mass loss (Vergutz et al. 2012).”
Linking above- and belowground resource use strategies for native and invasive species of temperate deciduous forests (2015, methodology): “These results are consistent with recent meta-analyses of leaf nutrient resorption rates showing that species of lower leaf N have higher N resorption rates (Kobe et al. 2005; Vergutz et al. 2012).”
