Influence of aridity and salinity on plant nutrients scales up from species to community level in a desert ecosystem
Abstract Soil moisture and salt play key roles in regulating desert plant nutrient cycles on a local scale. However, information on the response of plant nutrient stoichiometric patterns to soil water and salt gradients is limited. Here, we assessed leaf N and P levels of 18 species of desert plants...
