Relative growth rate of leaf biomass and leaf nitrogen content in several Mediterranean woody species
S Mediavilla, A Escudero - Plant Ecology, 2003 - Springer
In many plant species, herbivory is a major determinant of leaf mortality and it can cause a
strong reduction in productive potential. Most predation occurs on young, expanding leaves …

N: P stoichiometry and habitat effects on Mediterranean savanna seasonal root dynamics
Mediterranean grasslands are highly seasonal and co-limited by water and nutrients. In
such systems, little is known about root dynamics which may depend on individual plant …
