Are N, P, and N:P stoichiometry limiting grazing exclusion effects on vegetation biomass and biodiversity in alpine grassland?

Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and N:P stoichiometry have been proposed as an index to assess plant nutrient limitation in grassland. The alpine grasslands in Tibet were investigated to evaluate the relationships between N, P, N:P ratio and vegetation biomass and species biodiversity by comparing fre...
