Linking Leaf N:P Stoichiometry to Species Richness and Composition along a Slope Aspect Gradient in the Eastern Tibetan Meadows
As an important topographical factor, slope aspect has an essential influence on plant community structure and leaf traits. Leaf nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry is an important leaf trait indicating plant growth. However, it has rarely been studied how leaf N:P stoichiometry correlates...
