High foliar K and P resorption efficiencies in old‐growth tropical forests growing on nutrient‐poor soils

Abstract Resorption is the active withdrawal of nutrients before leaf abscission. This mechanism represents an important strategy to maintain efficient nutrient cycling; however, resorption is poorly characterized in old‐growth tropical forests growing in nutrient‐poor soils. We investigated nutrien...
