TY - T1 - Comparison of the nutrient resorption stoichiometry of Quercus variabilis Blume growing in two sites contrasting in soil phosphorus content SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/310158 T3 - A1 - Ji, Huawei; Wen, Jiahao; Du, Baoming; Sun, Ningxiao; Berg, Björn; Liu, Chunjiang A2 - PB - Y1 - 2018 LA - eng AB - Key message Foliar phosphorus (P) resorption in Quercus variabilis Blume was significantly lower at a P-rich than at a P-deficient site. Moreover, P resorption strongly decreased, and nitrogen: phosphorus and carbon: phosphorus resorption ratios increased with soil P content. This demonstrates a strong link between foliar P resorption and P content in soils, and emphasizes the importance of P resorption in leaves of trees growing in soils with contrasted P content.
