Dangerous nutrients: evolution of phytoplankton resource uptake subject to virus attackDuncan N L Menge
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, USA
J Theor Biol 257:104-15. 2009..This result adds to the growing body of literature suggesting that co-limitation at equilibrium is a winning strategy...
Emergence and maintenance of nutrient limitation over multiple timescales in terrestrial ecosystemsDuncan N L Menge
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA
Am Nat 173:164-75. 2009..These insights into processes controlling different timescales in terrestrial ecosystems can help guide empirical and experimental studies...
Facultative versus obligate nitrogen fixation strategies and their ecosystem consequencesDuncan N L Menge
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA
Am Nat 174:465-77. 2009..Finally, we speculate on why the costs and lags may differ between temperate and tropical regions and thus whether they can explain patterns in both biomes simultaneously...
Nitrogen fixation in different biogeochemical niches along a 120 000-year chronosequence in New ZealandDuncan N L Menge
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA
Ecology 90:2190-201. 2009..This apparent positive feedback could produce N-rich conditions...
Phylogenetic constraints do not explain the rarity of nitrogen-fixing trees in late-successional temperate forestsDuncan N L Menge
National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, Santa Barbara, California, United States of America
PLoS ONE 5:e12056. 2010..Conversely, the 'selective constraints hypothesis' states that such taxa are present, but N-fixing symbioses would lower their fitness. Here we test the phylogenetic constraints hypothesis...
Declining foliar and litter ?¹?N diverge from soil, epiphyte and input ?¹?N along a 120,000 yr temperate rainforest chronosequenceDuncan N L Menge
National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
New Phytol 190:941-52. 2011..These trends are consistent with some combination of increasing fractionation during plant N uptake, mycorrhizal transfer, within-plant processing, and soil decomposition as soils age...
Evolutionary tradeoffs can select against nitrogen fixation and thereby maintain nitrogen limitationDuncan N L Menge
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:1573-8. 2008....
Large losses of inorganic nitrogen from tropical rainforests suggest a lack of nitrogen limitationE N J Brookshire
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
Ecol Lett 15:9-16. 2012..Instead, they are consistent with the notion that many tropical rainforests exist in a state of N saturation...
Nutrient recycling affects autotroph and ecosystem stoichiometryFord Ballantyne
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA
Am Nat 171:511-23. 2008..Preferential P recycling, in conjunction with greater relative P retention at the organismal and ecosystem levels, presents a strong case for the importance of P to biomass production across ecosystems...
