Legumes are ecologically and economically important plants that contribute to nutrient
cycling and agricultural sustainability, features tied to their intimate symbiosis with nitrogen …

Simple Summary The legume–rhizobium symbiosis is one of the most beneficial interactions
with high importance in agriculture, as it delivers nitrogen to plants and soil, thereby …

Using robust, pairwise comparisons and a global dataset, we show that nitrogen
concentration per unit leaf mass for nitrogen-fixing plants (N2FP; mainly legumes plus some …

Tropical forest productivity is widely assumed to be limited by soil phosphorus (P), but
biogeochemical processes that deplete P also could deplete base cations, suggesting …

The symbiosis between plants and nitrogen‐fixing bacteria is widespread among legumes
and actinorhizal plants within the nitrogen‐fixing root nodule (NFN) clade. However, there …

The association of N2-fixing species (NFS) could be an attractive option for achieving a
sustainable increase of Eucalyptus plantations (EP) productivity through a positive balance …

Systems analysis of two alfalfa varieties, Wisfal (Medicago sativa ssp. falcata var. Wisfal) and
Chilean (M. sativa ssp. sativa var. Chilean), with contrasting tolerance/sensitivity to drought …

Studies of water stress commonly examine either gas exchange or leaf metabolites, and
many fail to quantify the concentration of CO2 in the chloroplasts (Cc). We redress these …

Tropical forests have long been thought to be in stable state, but recent insights indicate that
global change is leading to shifts in forest dynamics and species composition. These shifts …

Purpose Much tropical land requires rehabilitation but the capacity of reforestation with
plantations or naturally regenerating secondary forests for overcoming soil degradation …
