Studies on ecological stoichiometry (ES) have increased rapidly in number in recent years.
Continuous exploration of classical concepts such as the growth-rate hypothesis (GRH),) …

I present a meta‐analysis of plant responses to 48 nutrient addition experiments conducted
with native species in naturally growing tropical forests, exclusive of mangrove forests. The …

Although the existence of a large carbon sink in terrestrial ecosystems is well-established,
the drivers of this sink remain uncertain. It has been suggested that perturbations to forest …

Potassium (K+) is the most abundant inorganic cation in plant cells, playing a critical role in
various plant functions. However, the impacts of K on natural terrestrial ecosystems have …

Because the capability of terrestrial ecosystems to fix carbon is constrained by nutrient
availability, understanding how nutrients limit plant growth is a key contemporary question …

Every living creature on Earth is made of atoms of the various bioelements that are
harnessed in the construction of molecules, tissues, organisms, and communities, as we …

Biogeochemistry is a key but relatively neglected part of the abiotic template that underlies
ecology. The template has a geography, one that is increasingly being rearranged in this era …

Experimental evidence for limitation of net primary productivity (NPP) by nitrogen (N) or
phosphorus (P) in lowland tropical forests is rare, and the results from the few existing …

Tropical forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle, but the drivers of net forest
biomass change (ie net carbon sequestration) are poorly understood. Here, we evaluate …

Competition among trees is an important driver of community structure and dynamics in
tropical forests. Neighboring trees may impact an individual tree's growth rate and …
