Resource Availability and the Abundance of an N-Based Defense in Australian Tropical Rain Forests
Plant defense theories predict that relatively resource-rich environments (those with more fertile soil) will support a greater abundance of plants with nitrogen-based chemical defense, but this has yet to be adequately tested. We tested this prediction by measuring the diversity and contribution to...
