Article Synopsis
- Earth system models are incorporating soil phosphorus dynamics and plant traits to better understand changes in global forests, but there's a gap in empirical data, particularly in mature forests.
- Researchers conducted a study in a subtropical forest involving nearly 10,000 trees to analyze how soil phosphorus affects plant traits and confirmed phosphorus limitations on tree growth through leaf nutrient ratios.
- Results showed that soil phosphorus significantly influences variations in key plant traits, explaining 44%-53% of these variations, and its effects were found to be stronger than those of nitrogen, emphasizing the importance of soil phosphorus in forest dynamics.
