Journal ArticleDOI
The vegetation N:P ratio: a new tool to detect the nature of nutrient limitation
TL;DR: The vegetation N:P ratio is of diagnostic value and its use may increase the understanding of numerous facets of physiological, population, community and ecosystem ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution of soil nutrients with depth: Global patterns and the imprint of plants
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the importance of plants in structuring the vertical distributions of soil nutrients and found that the nutrients that are most limiting for plants would have the shallowest average distributions across ecosystems, and the vertical distribution of a limiting nutrient would be shallower as the nutrient became more scarce.

William F. Laurance,William F. Laurance,Diego R. Pérez-Salicrup,Patricia Delamônica,Philip M. Fearnside,Sammya D'Angelo,Adriano Jerozolinski,Luciano Pohl,Thomas E. Lovejoy +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of forest fragmentation, tree fall disturbance, soils, and stand attributes on liana communities in central Amazonian rain forests were assessed, and liana abundance increased significantly near forest edges and was significantly positively associated with forest disturbance and significantly negatively associated with tree biomass.

Impact of grazing management on the carbon and nitrogen balance of a mixed-grass rangeland
TL;DR: In this article, the plant-soil C and N balances of a mixed-grass rangeland under three livestock stocking rates using an area that had not been grazed by domestic livestock for more than 40 years.
