Nitrogen fixation and fertilization have similar effects on biomass allocation in nitrogen-fixing plants. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIt has long been known that plants adjust allocation to different tissues based on supply of soil nitrogen, but the degree to which nitrogen supplied by symbiotic nitrogen‐fixing bacteria has similar effects on allocation is less well known. Using an experiment with 15 plant species with and without access to symbiotic nitrogen‐fixing bacteria, grown ...
