Coexistence of multiple leaf nutrient resorption strategies in urban forests by Pin Li, Zejin Wang, Kun Ran

“…Urban forests face substantially higher levels of environmental stress and anthropogenic disturbance than do peri-urban forests owing to the stark variations in environmental parameters observed along urban-periurban-rural gradients. Leaf nutrient resorption is an essential strategy employed by plants to conserve available resources, and three different mechanisms have been shown to be used for the control of such resorption, including nutrient concentration, nutrient limitation, and stoichiometric control. …”
