Allocation of foliar phosphorus fractions and leaf traits of tropical tree species in response to decreased soil phosphorus availability on Mount Kinabalu, Borneo (2011, methodology): “By analysing a data set of 340 tree and shrub species in various biomes, Hidaka & Kitayama (2009) found that plants growing on P-poor soils could simultaneouslymaximize both LMAandPPUE, and they suggested that a greater P fraction could be allocated to metabolic P rather than to structural P to…”
Foliar phosphorus fractions reveal how tropical plants maintain photosynthetic rates despite low soil phosphorus availability (2019, methodology): “…maintain functions despite low availability of soil P. Increased PPUE has been observed in response to decreasing P availability along a natural soil fertility gradient, where plants were able to maintain rates of photosynthesis despite a remarkable decline in foliar [P] (Hidaka & Kitayama, 2009).”
