Light alters the impacts of nitrogen and foliar pathogens on the performance of early successional tree seedlings

Light limitation is a major driver of succession and an important determinant of the performance of shade-intolerant tree seedlings. Shade intolerance may result from a resource allocation strategy characterized by rapid growth and high metabolic costs, which may make shade-intolerant species partic...
