• Habitat engineering under dry conditions: The impact of pikas (Ochotona pallasi) on vegetation and site conditions in southern Mongolian steppes (2007, background): “Phosphate concentrations were also low in our study region, and phosphorus may also be another limiting factor in desert regions (Drenovsky & Richards 2004; James et al. 2005) Central Asia is characterized by a highly continental climate, where thermal conditions restrict the growing period to a…”
• Nutrient Addition Differentially Affects Ecological Processes of Avicennia germinans in Nitrogen versus Phosphorus Limited Mangrove Ecosystems (2007, background): “ecosystems may result in large differences in their sensitivity and susceptibility to eutrophication (Cloern 2001). Ulanowicz and Abarca-Arenas (1997) further predicted that different ecological processes within coastal ecosystems may also have different patterns of nutrient limitation.”
• Multiple resources limit plant growth and function in a saline‐alkaline desert community (2005, background): “Additionally, individual species within a community may be limited by different resources, making community level and individual plant responses in species-rich communities difficult to interpret (Aerts & Chapin 2000; Drenovsky & Richards 2004).”
• Effects of large herbivore exclusion on southern Mongolian desert steppes (2010, background): “Our sampling scheme did not allow for inferences on the also crucial plant-available nitrogen fractions (nitrate, ammonium), but phosphorus can be a limiting element in drylands (Drenovsky and Richards, 2004).”
• Foliar nitrogen and phosphorus accumulation responses after fertilization: an example from nutrient-limited Hawaiian forests (2010, background): “While the limitation definitions of N:P values from 14–16 (mass based) shown of Fig. 1 do not apply in all systems ( Drenovsky and Richards 2004, Soudzilovskaia et al. 2005), they have been widely applied in both aquatic and terrestrial systems (Gusewell 2004), and represent the concept of isolatin”
• Co-limitation of plant primary productivity by nitrogen and phosphorus in a species-rich wooded meadow on calcareous soils (2005, methodology): “Thus, knowledge of foliar P and N concentrations alone is not always sufficient to draw conclusions on which of them is limiting, especially because plants widely differ in N and P requirements (McJannet et al., 1995; Ryser and Lambers, 1995; Gordon et al., 2001; Tomassen et al., 2003, 2004; Drenovs”
