Nitrogen enrichment alters plant N: P stoichiometry and intensifies phosphorus limitation in a steppe ecosystem (2017, background): “These findings highlight the importance of soil N and P availability in controlling the inter-annual shift in patterns of N and P limitation in semiarid steppe ecosystems (Elser et al., 2007; Harpole et al., 2011).”
Stoichiometric N:P flexibility and mycorrhizal symbiosis favour plant resistance against drought (2017, background): “plant productivity (Harpole et al. 2011) and plants require both nutrients in specific ratios for optimal growth (Sterner & Elser 2002; Cernusak, Winter & Turner 2010).”
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi as mediators of ecosystem responses to nitrogen deposition: A trait‐based predictive framework (2018, background): “In many ecosystems, plants cannot access sufficient N or P, which limits their growth and function (Elser et al., 2007; Fay et al., 2015; Harpole et al., 2011; Vitousek & Howarth, 1991).”
Nitrogen inputs accelerate phosphorus cycling rates across a wide variety of terrestrial ecosystems. (2012, positive): “This economic analogy would seem to contrast with the idea of single nutrient limitation, as evidenced by N and P co-limitation in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems (Elser et al., 2007; Harpole et al., 2011).”
A comprehensive evaluation of predictive performance of 33 species distribution models at species and community levels (2019, background): “…ecological theory and empirical studies suggest that how ecological processes depend on one covariate may depend on the value of other covariates (Harpole et al. 2011), including interactions among covariates increases model complexity and, therefore, the risk of statistical overfitting (Guisan…”
Patterns and Mechanisms of Nutrient Resorption in Plants (2015, background): “Interest in nutrient limitation of plant communities has shifted from the limitation of single nutrients (Williams, 1955; Vitousek, 1982) to factors that affect nutrient co-limitation at large spatial scales (Harpole et al., 2011; Fisher et al., 2012; Yuan and Chen, 2012b) and long temporal scales (”
