The relative importance of environmental factors on the N:P in legumes (a) and non-legumes (b).

Compared to #Non_legumes, #Legumes have an advantage in acquiring soil #NitrogenAndPhosphorus in warm-humid habitats via their root nodules and symbionts, and tightly couple in their leaf N and P.

Relative importance of abiotic and biotic variables on two community-level (i.e. community-weighed mean [CWM]) plant functional traits: (a) the specific leaf area (SLA), (b) the leaf dry matter content (LDMC) and (c) the leaf thickness (LT).

Climate factors and island area drive leaf economic trait variation by altering plant species richness and soil properties on tropical islands.

Permafrost study finds abrupt thaw accelerates soil phosphorus cycling, offsetting carbon release Permafrost thaw can stimulate the release of soil carbon, triggering a positive carbon-climate feedback that may be mediated by changes in soil phosphorus (P) availability.

🌍 Permafrost thawing isn’t only bad news. It speeds up phosphorus cycling, boosting plant growth and CO₂ uptake 🌱 A reminder that Earth’s feedbacks are complex and surprising.

Location of the study area in the lagoon of Marano and Grado in the northern Adriatic Sea (a), the barrier islands and 10 sampling areas (b) and an example of 10 points distribution inside each sampling area (San Andrea island) (c).

Effects of soil conductivity (a–c), organic carbon content in soil (d–f) and nitrogen content in soil (g–i) on standardized species cover (abundance) between status (native = solid line, alien = dashed line) and within habitats (vertical columns).

The N vs. P scaling exponents in above- and below-ground of moss.

To understand growth and adaptation strategy of the #Mosses, Yong-Gang Li et al. selected #SyntrichiaCaninervis in the #GurbantunggutDesert, determine their #Stoichiometry in different dunes and sites, as well as their relationships to #SoilNutrients and #Environment.
