Our understanding of plant mineral nutrition comes largely from studies of herbaceous crops
that evolved from ruderal species characteristic of nutrient-rich disturbed sites (52). With the …

Publisher Summary This chapter emphasizes on the effects that lime and phosphate
applications have on the soil–plant system. An understanding of such effects is essential for …

Selection of plant cultivars tolerant of low nutrient supply may increase productivity on low
fertility soils and reduce fertilizer requirements. Considerable effort has been directed …

This chapter describes some of the effects of soil acidity on plant growth and fertilizer
nutrient availability and shows how these effects are modified by liming. The availabilities of …

This paper addresses the question why inherently low-productive perennials dominate the
vegetation in nutrient-poor habitats despite the higher productivity of inherently high …

There are many ways in which plants can adapt or respond to nutrient stress. These can be
via alterations to root branching and root extension rates, rate of uptake per unit root length …

The element found in highest concentration in the shoots of the South‐western Australian
plants surveyed is N followed by K≤ Ca≤ Cl≤ Mg≤ P≤ Mn≤ Zn≤ Cu. The oligotrophic …

Annual pasture legume species can vary more than 3-fold in their critical external
phosphorus (P) requirement (ie P required for 90% of maximum yield). In this work we …

Barleygrass (Hordeum leporinum) from Australian low‐P (phosphorus) soils and commercial
barley (H. vulgare) with high fertilizer requirements were grown in solution culture at 3 levels …
