Aims Invasive species often have higher relative growth rates(RGR)than their native counterparts.Nutrient use efficiency,total leaf area and specific leaf area(SLA)are traits that may confer RGR differences between na...
Plants acclimate to nitrogen (N) or moisture stress by respectively increasing photosynthetic N use efficiency (PNUE) or water use efficiency (WUE), in order to maximize their relative growth rate (RGR). These two phe...
Aims Recent theories indicate that N is more in demand for plant growth than P;therefore,N concentration and N:C and N:P ratios are predicted to be positively correlated with relative growth rate(RGR)in plants under n...
