Habitat diversity of central European fens in relation to environmental gradients and an effort to standardise fen terminology in ecological studies (2006, background): “Güsewell et al. (2005) have found that plots with intermediate tissue N”
N : P ratios in terrestrial plants: variation and functional significance. (2004, background): “For European wetlands, published data on N : P ratios in plant species at multiple sites indicate that few species occur naturally with high N : P ratios (Güsewell & Koerselman, 2002; Güsewell et al., 2005).”

The elemental stoichiometry of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and its relationships with organismic lifestyle and ecosystem structure and function: a review and perspectives (2011, background): “Some important ecosystems around the world such as meadows or boreal forests are frequently K-limited (Olde Venterink et al. 2001; Nilsen and Abrahamsen 2003), and the plant N:K ratio can account for variations in the composition and diversity of species of ecosystems (Roem and Berendse 2000).”
Does phosphorus limitation promote species-rich plant communities? (2011, unknown): “…hypothesis; Braakhekke & Hooftman 1999; Harpole and Tilman 2007), provokes the question of whether it might be possible to promote species richness in N-limited sites by fertilizing them with N to produce conditions of P limitation or NP colimitation (see Aerts et al. 2003; Güsewell et al. 2005).”
