A global analysis of water and nitrogen relationships between mistletoes and their hosts: broad‐scale tests of old and enduring hypotheses [PDF]
Mistletoes use far more water per unit carbon fixed during photosynthesis than their hosts (i.e. they have lower ‘water use efficiency’, WUE). The widely cited ‘nitrogen-parasitism hypothesis’ posits that N is the most limiting resource for mistletoes ...
