Nitrogen addition enhances terrestrial phosphorous retention in grassland mesocosms

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are fundamental for plant biomass production in grasslands, are often co-limiting, and have become major freshwater pollutants. By factorially applying gradients of N and P to field-based grassland mesocosms, we tested for saturating thresholds of plant uptake as nutr...
