The leaf analysis in a crop can present the need of a nutrient determined in the plant. The macronutrients deficiency in the cotton crop can be identified by specific type of colors variation by leaves images. Early ...

Species loss due to an increasing the number of added nutrients has been explained by both light competition through biomass increase and by niche dimension reduction as a result of species-specific limiting soil resources ...

Plant stoichiometry, the relative concentration of elements, is a key regulator of ecosystem functioning and is also being altered by human activities. In this paper we sought to understand the global drivers of plant ...

Human activities are enriching many of Earth’s ecosystems with biologically limiting mineral nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). In grasslands, this enrichment generally reduces plant diversity and increases ...

Soil stores approximately twice as much carbon as the atmosphere and fluctuations in the size of the soil carbon pool directly influence climate conditions. We used the Nutrient Network global change experiment to examine ...
