Elemental stoichiometry constitutes an inherent link between biogeochemistry and the
structure and processes within food webs, and thus is at the core of ecosystem functioning …

Limitation of grain crop productivity by phosphorus (P) is widespread and will probably
increase in the future. Enhanced P efficiency can be achieved by improved uptake of …

Global-scale variation in mangrove ecosystem properties has been explained using a
conceptual framework linking geomorphological processes to distinct coastal environmental …

Macroclimatic variation along latitudinal gradients provides an excellent natural laboratory to
investigate the role of temperature and the potential impacts of climate warming on terrestrial …

Mangrove forests dominate the world's tropical and subtropical coastlines. Similar to other
plant communities, nutrient availability is one of the major factors influencing mangrove …

Despite their importance in sustaining livelihoods for many people living along some of the
world's most populous coastlines, tropical mangrove forests are disappearing at an alarming …

Nutrient resorption (NR) plays a key role in the nutrient conservation of plants. However, a
fundamental understanding of the mechanisms that control NR remains limited. In this …

Mangroves are one of the few woody ecosystems that grow in hot-arid climates. They can
survive extreme conditions of low precipitation, high solar radiation, wide temperature …

Better understanding of the responses of terrestrial plant species under global nitrogen (N)
enrichment is critical for projection of changes in structure, functioning, and service of …

Abstract C, N and P are three of the most important elements used to build living beings, and
their uptake from the environment is consequently essential for all organisms. We have …
