The elemental stoichiometry of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and its relationships with organismic lifestyle and ecosystem structure and function: a review and perspectives (2011, background): “:P ratios and response to fertilization (Güsewell et al. 2003b; Craine et al. 2008), the trends towards an average optimal range of the leaf N”
Litter N:P ratios indicate whether N or P limits the decomposability of graminoid leaf litter (2006, methodology): “To obtain litter with a wide range of nutrient concentrations, we sampled plots from a fertilisation experiment (Güsewell et al. 2002, 2003).”
Nutrient co-limitation of primary producer communities. (2011, background): “Various authors have provided multiple definitions or sets of definitions of multiple nutrient limitation, which correspond with our definitions (Box 1) of simultaneous colimitation (Güsewell et al. 2003; Arrigo 2005; Craine 2009), independent co-limitation (Güsewell et al.”
N : P ratios in terrestrial plants: variation and functional significance. (2004, background): “However, these mechanisms are not necessarily related to biomass N : P ratios: N2-fixers often have higher N : P ratios than co-occurring nonfixers (Güsewell et al., 2003b), and species able to solubilize P may have relatively low N : P ratios even on soils with low P availability.”
Co-limitation of plant primary productivity by nitrogen and phosphorus in a species-rich wooded meadow on calcareous soils (2005, background): “Although the criterion of Koerselman and Meuleman (1996) has been almost universally applied to various ecosystems, recent work demonstrates that the critical N/P values may be species- or ecosystem-specific (Güsewell et al., 2003b; Tomassen et al., 2003, 2004; Drenovsky and Richards, 2004).”
Nutrient limitation and botanical diversity in wetlands: can fertilisation raise species richness? (2005, background): “:P ratios and to become more dominant after N fertilisation (De Kroon and Bobbink 1997, Pauli et al. 2002, Gough and Hobbie 2003, Güsewell et al. 2003).”
A conceptual framework for ecosystem stoichiometry: balancing resource supply and demand (2005, background): “At the ecosystem level, there is empirical evidence for co-limitation, most often by N and P, in aquatic (Elser et al. 1990) and terrestrial (Gusewell et al. 2003) ecosystems.”
Nutrient resorption of wetland graminoids is related to the type of nutrient limitation (2005, background): “Aerts & Chapin (2000) hypothesized that nutrient resorption is more important for nutrient 352 S. Güsewell © 2005 British Ecological Society, Functional Ecology, 19, 344–354 conservation at P-limited than at N-limited sites.”
The C:N:P stoichiometry of organisms and ecosystems in a changing world: A review and perspectives (2012, background): “An organism’s C:N:P stoichiometry can be strongly influenced by environmental stoichiometry (Sterner and George, 2000; Güsewell et al., 2003; Hall et al., 2005; Castle and Neff, 2009), despite an organism’s considerable capacity to maintain their body stoichiometry within ranges than are narrower th”
