Nitrogen enrichment alters plant N: P stoichiometry and intensifies phosphorus limitation in a steppe ecosystem (2017, background): “It is also important to note that multiple-year nutrient additions may cause changes in species composition, which influence aboveground productivity responses to N and P (Avolio et al., 2014).”
A comprehensive approach to analyzing community dynamics using rank abundance curves (2019, methodology): “Next, we apply RAC and multivariate change and difference measures to a long-term nitrogen and phosphorus addition experiment in tallgrass prairie at the Konza Prairie Biological Station near Manhattan, Kansas, USA (see Avolio et al. 2014, Koerner et al. 2016 for details).”
Plant functional diversity modulates global environmental change effects on grassland productivity (2018, background): “The need for the trait-based approach is further necessitated by the fact that environmental changes may cause species turnover without influencing species diversity (Avolio et al. 2014; Jones, Ripplinger & Collins 2017; Hillebrand et al. 2018), which can be readily captured by changes in functional”
C:N:P stoichiometry in China's forests: From organs to ecosystems (2018, background): “Furthermore, based on leaf element content for several species, these studies have noted that the limiting element has higher homeostasis (Avolio et al., 2014; Yu et al., 2015).”
