Detecting terrestrial nutrient limitation: a global meta-analysis of foliar nutrient concentrations after fertilization

Examining foliar nutrient concentrations after fertilization provides an alternative method for detecting nutrient limitation of ecosystems, which is logistically simpler to measure than biomass change. We present a meta-analysis of response ratios of foliar nitrogen and phosphorus (RRN, RRP) after...
