Accumulation of nitrogen and phosphorus in aboveground biomass following fertilization in two alpine tundra communities.

To determine whether there are differences in the relative capacity of communities to accumulate nutrients N and P standing crops were measured following fertilization in two alpine tundra communities. Dry meadow had greater increases in aboveground N standing crop and tissue N concentration in resp...

Description
Summary:To determine whether there are differences in the relative capacity of communities to accumulate nutrients N and P standing crops were measured following fertilization in two alpine tundra communities. Dry meadow had greater increases in aboveground N standing crop and tissue N concentration in response to N fertilization than the wet meadow. The wet meadow had a greater P accumulation response to P fertilization than the dry meadow.
