TL;DR: The results do not support the hypothesis that tropical plants have higher levels of resistance traits than do plants from higher latitudes, and if anything, plants haveHigher resistance toward the poles.

Growth of N2‐fixing African savanna Acacia species is constrained by below‐ground competition with grass
TL;DR: Competition for N is the main constraint imposed by grass on growth of Acacia seedlings and that the ability to fix N2 overcomes this limitation, however, the growth of N2 fixing Acacias may be additionally limited by grass competition for P.
