The Nitrogen Paradox in Tropical Forest Ecosystems (2009, background): “At the ecosystem level, however, plant P content appears to be responsive to local differences in soil P (Kitayama & Aiba 2002, Nardoto et al. 2008, Richardson et al. 2008, Santiago et al. 2005, Silver 1994).”
Leaf element concentrations of terrestrial plants across China are influenced by taxonomy and the environment (2012, background): “This is probably due to the low soil P concentration in China (Han et al., 2005) as the shift in leaf N/P ratio is linked to soil P (Richardson et al., 2008).”
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): “:P ratio uptake (Ryser and Lambers 1995; Phoenix et al. 2004; Güsewell et al. 2003a), in reabsorption (Shaver and Melillo 1984; Richardson et al. 1999, 2008; Ratnam et al. 2008) and in N2 fixation (Eisele et al. 1989; Smith 1992; Wall et al. 2000), with all varying according to the N”
