Nutrient limitation and stoichiometry of carnivorous plants.
The cost-benefit model for the evolution of carnivorous plants posits a trade-off between photosynthetic costs associated with carnivorous structures and photosynthetic benefits accrued through additional nutrient acquisition. The model predicts that carnivory is expected to evolve if its marginal benefits exceed its marginal costs. Further, the model predicts that when nutrients are scarce but...
متن کاملNutrient Limitation in Tropical Streams of Tanzania
Communities of plants are thought to grow until they reach some limiting factor such as light, space, available nutrients or other limitation. Very often this limiting factor is a nutrient limitation. Therefore, if plants are provided with the essential nutrient they lack, they will expand their community’s biomass. This phenomenon is well studied in temperate communities. In those ecosystems, ...

متن کاملNutrient Availability in Tropical Rain Forests: The Paradigm of Phosphorus Limitation
A long-standing paradigm in tropical ecology is that phosphorus (P) availability limits the productivity of most lowland forests, with the largest pool of plant-available P resident in biomass. Evidence that P limits components of productivity is particularly strong for sites in Panama and the Amazon basin. Analyses of forest communities in Panama also show that tree species distributions are s...
متن کاملResponse of plant nutrient stoichiometry to fertilization varied with plant tissues in a tropical forest
Plant N:P ratios are widely used as indices of nutrient limitation in terrestrial ecosystems, but the response of these metrics in different plant tissues to altered N and P availability and their interactions remains largely unclear. We evaluated changes in N and P concentrations, N:P ratios of new leaves (<1 yr), older leaves (>1 yr), stems and mixed fine roots of seven species after 3-years ...
