Effect of different decay classes of Eucalyptus stump substrates on microbial resource limitation and carbon-use efficiency
AimsThe effect of Eucalyptus stump substrate decomposition on microbial resource limitation driving factors are unclear.
MethodsEucalyptus stump...

Plant Adaptation and Phosphorus Limitation in Tropical Forests: A Theoretical and Empirical Assessment
Ecosystem dynamics are shaped by plant adaptation to environmental stress, yet the conditions under which this occurs remain poorly understood. We...

Evaluating the effects of water and food limitation on the life history of an insect using a multiple-stressor framework
Many environmental stressors naturally covary, and the frequency and duration of stressors such as heat waves and droughts are increasing globally...

Different feeding preferences for macronutrients across seasons and sites indicate temporal and spatial nutrient limitation in the black bog ant
How the resource use by consumers vary in different environments and time scales is one of the fundamental ecological questions. Replicated field...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with wine fermentation and adaptation to nitrogen limitation in wild and domesticated yeast strains
For more than 20 years, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has served as a model organism for genetic studies and molecular biology, as well as a platform for...

Floral resource maps: a tool to explain flower-visiting insect abundance at multiple spatial scales
ContextFlower-visiting insects depend on floral resource availability from both cultivated and semi-natural habitats in agricultural landscapes....
-
Host plant limitation of butterflies in highly fragmented landscapes
Insect herbivores can be limited by host plants in two ways: density-dependent competition for food resources or density-independent search time...

Regulation of soil C–N–P stoichiometry by intercrop** mitigates microbial resource limitations and contributes to maize productivity
Background and aimsIntercrop** is known to have low fertilizer input but high production efficiency. However, only few studies have explored the...
-
Spatial and temporal patterns of stream nutrient limitation in an Arctic catchment
Arctic stream biofilm responses to ongoing climate-related changes in physical and chemical conditions have major implications for stream food webs...
-
Metabolic resource overlap impacts competition among phyllosphere bacteria
The phyllosphere is densely colonised by microbial communities, despite sparse and heterogeneously distributed resources. The limitation of resources...

Effects of Long-Term Warming on Microbial Nutrients Limitation of Soil Aggregates on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Global warming has increasingly detrimental impacts on the structure and function of the Tibetan Plateau ecosystem. However, the mechanism by which...

Plant-associated fungi support bacterial resilience following water limitation
Drought disrupts soil microbial activity and many biogeochemical processes. Although plant-associated fungi can support plant performance and...

Internal phosphorus loading alters nutrient limitation and contributes to cyanobacterial blooms in a polymictic lake
Clear Lake, a medium-sized hypereutrophic, polymictic lake in northern California, has had recurring harmful cyanobacteria blooms (HCBs) for over a...
-
Beyond resource limitation: an expanded test of the niche dimension hypothesis for multiple types of niche axes
The niche dimension hypothesis predicts that more species can coexist given a greater number of niche axes along which they partition the...

Water limitation intensity shifts carbon allocation dynamics in Scots pine mesocosms
Background and aimsTree species worldwide suffer from extended periods of water limitation. These conditions not only affect the growth and vitality...

Molecular mechanisms underlying iron and phosphorus co-limitation responses in the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Crocosphaera
In the nitrogen-limited subtropical gyres, diazotrophic cyanobacteria, including Crocosphaera , provide an essential ecosystem service by converting...

The Relative Importance of Environmental Filtering and Dispersal Limitation on the Multidimensional Beta Diversity of Desert Plant Communities Depends on Sampling Scales
Environmental filtering and dispersal limitation jointly determine patterns of beta diversity, for which little is known about how their relative...

Linkages of litter and soil C:N:P stoichiometry with soil microbial resource limitation and community structure in a subtropical broadleaf forest invaded by Moso bamboo
AimsInvasive plants not only alter aboveground biodiversity but also belowground microbial community composition to facilitate their growth and...

Emerging evidence of resource limitation in an Antarctic seabird metapopulation after 6 decades of sustained population growth
The influence of resource limitation on spatio-temporal population dynamics is a fundamental theme in ecology and the concepts of carrying capacity,...
