Industrial revolution brought prodigious encroachment on agricultural productivity but at
apparent environmental costs. One of the major unfortunate consequences of …

Aluminum (Al), cobalt (Co), sodium (Na), selenium (Se), and silicon (Si) are considered
beneficial elements for plants: they are not required by all plants but can promote plant …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Current definitions of essential or beneficial elements for plant growth rely on narrowly
defined criteria that do not fully represent a new vision for plant nutrition and compromise …

Abstract Background Aluminium (Al) toxicity is the most important soil constraint for plant
growth and development in acid soils. The mechanism of Al-induced inhibition of root …

We analysed 1040 individual trees, located in 62 plots across the Amazon Basin for leaf
mass per unit area (MA), foliar carbon isotopic composition (δ 13 C) and leaf level …

Leaf nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations are correlated in plants. Higher‐level
phylogenetic effects can influence leaf N and P. By contrast, little is known about the …

Abstract Aluminum (Al), a non-essential metal for plant growth, exerts significant phytotoxic
effects, particularly on root growth. Anthropogenic activities would intensify Al's toxic effects …

Elemental hyperaccumulation may have several functions, including plant defense against
natural enemies. A total of 34 studies, including 72 experimental tests, have been conducted …

Niche theory proposes that species differences underlie both coexistence within
communities and the differentiation in species composition among communities via limiting …
