Interacting effects of soil nitrogen supply and light availability on understory sapling growth and foliar attributes
Light availability in forest understories is a well recognized constraint on sapling growth, but limitations in soil nitrogen (N) availability, and the link to foliar photosynthetic capacity, typically receive less consideration in describing stand dynamics. My primary hypothesis is that light and...
