Co-limitation of Fine Root Growth by Nitrogen and Phosphorus in Early Successional Northern Hardwood Forests
Functional balance theory predicts that plants will allocate less carbon belowground when the availability of nutrients is elevated. We tested this...

Increasing the intensity of regeneration treatments decreased beta diversity of temperate hardwood forest understory 20 years after disturbance
ContextIn temperate hardwood forests, increased intensity of soil and canopy disturbances tends to increase species richness due to the establishment...

Fine Root Growth Increases in Response to Nitrogen Addition in Phosphorus-limited Northern Hardwood Forests
Resource allocation theory posits that increased soil nutrient availability results in decreased plant investment in nutrient acquisition. We...

Liquid-phase water permeation pathways on outer-bark surfaces of teak (Tectona grandis): a tropical deciduous hardwood
It has recently been suggested that processes related to water uptake from the tree-stem surface, such as water vapor exchange and rainwater...
