Nitrogen to phosphorus ratio of plant biomass versus soil solution in a tropical pioneer tree, «Ficus insipida»

It is commonly assumed that the N:P ratio of a terrestrial plant reflects the relative availability of N and P in the soil in which the plant grows. Here it was assessed for a tropical pioneer tree, Ficus insipida. Seedlings were grown in sand and irrigated with nutrient solutions containing N:P r...
