Leaf N resorption efficiency and litter N mineralization rate have a genotypic tradeoff in a silver birch population.

Ecology - 1 May 2018

Abstract excerpt

Plants enhance N use efficiency by resorbing N from senescing leaves. This can affect litter N mineralization rate due to the C:N-ratio requirements of microbial growth. We examined genotypic links between leaf N resorption and litter mineralization by collecting leaves and litter from 19 Betula pendula genotypes and following the N release of litter patches on forest ground. We found significant genotypic...
