Species‐specific responses of foliar nutrients to long‐term nitrogen and phosphorus additions in a lowland tropical forest (2014, background): “For instance, the magnitude of increase relative to control plots was similar to the 11% average increase observed across five seedling species after 2 years of N fertilization in the Gigante Fertilization Experiment, three of which were the eudicots included in this study (Santiago et al. 2012).”
Experimental assessment of nutrient limitation along a 2‐million‐year dune chronosequence in the south‐western Australia biodiversity hotspot (2012, background): “Our consideration ofK is important because any rock-derived nutrient (not just P) could theoretically limit productivity during ecosystem development, as recently shown by strong K limitation of tree seedling and sapling growth in a tropical forest soil (Santiago et al. 2012; Wright et al. 2011).”
Global change effects on humid tropical forests: Evidence for biogeochemical and biodiversity shifts at an ecosystem scale (2016, background): “Finally, in lowland N-rich Panama forests, N fertilization increased foliar N concentrations by 11%, but there was no related effect on herbivory [Santiago et al., 2012].”
Nitrogen and phosphorus interact to control tropical symbiotic N2 fixation: a test in Inga punctata (2013, methodology): “In the case of potassium, which has been shown to influence some plant processes in Panamanian forests (Santiago et al. 2011; Wright et al. 2011), we adjusted the Hoagland’s solution to account for the potassium added with the phosphorus solution.”
