High functional diversity is related to high nitrogen availability in a deciduous forest - evidence from a functional trait approach [PDF]
, 2010 The current study tested the assumption that floristic and functional diversity patterns are negatively related to soil nitrogen content. We analyzed 20 plots with soil N-contents ranging from 0.63% to 1.06% in a deciduous forest near Munich (Germany ...
