The Nature of Nutrient Limitation in Plant Communities
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is suggested that nutrient limitation in communities can be best measured by assessing the plants' response to large nutrient additions that are sufficient to saturate chemical and microbial immobilization processes and still meet plant nutrient requirements.
