Tree growth changes with climate and forest type are associated with relative allocation of nutrients, especially phosphorus, to leaves and wood (2013, background): “:P concentration ratio in leaves is also related to functions such as metabolism (respiration), storage or the investment and maintenance of structural organs (Ågren, 2004, 2008; Niklas et al., 2005; Reich et al., 2010).”
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): “Ågren (2004, 2008) developed a mathematical model that predicted that the growth rate, estimated as the rate of assimilation of C, is directly dependent on N content, assuming that it is a function of enzyme concentration, whereas increases in N in proteins are a function of P content, assuming…”
Effects of nitrogen and phosphorus supply on growth rate, leaf stoichiometry, and nutrient resorption of Arabidopsis thaliana (2014, unknown): “In plants, the carbon assimilation capacity is proportional to the N content in leaf proteins, while leaf protein synthesis is positively related to the P content in ribosomes (Ågren 2004).”
CO2 bio-mitigation using microalgae (2008, background): “Of particular relevance, photosynthesis requires large amounts of proteins (notably Rubisco), and the proteins are synthesized by phosphorusrich ribosomes (Agren 2004).”
Biological stoichiometry of plant production: metabolism, scaling and ecological response to global change. (2010, methodology): “Plant ecophysiologists and terrestrial ecosystem ecologists are confronted with the challenge of connecting simultaneous changes in multiple biogeochemical cycles (e.g. rising CO2, enhanced nitrogen (N) deposition) with alterations in climate (temperature, rainfall) and land use to make useful predi”

IS THE GROWTH RATE HYPOTHESIS APPLICABLE TO MICROALGAE? 1 (2010, methodology): “Turning to reports in which total P is used as a surrogate for rRNA, Ågren (2004) analyzed data on the growth rate and P content of the freshwater green planktonic microalga Selenastrum as well as seedlings of the dicotyledonous tree Betula and found very limited agreement with the GRH (see also…”
