Effects of climate, soil, and leaf traits on nutrient resorption efficiency and proficiency of different plant functional types across arid and semiarid regions of northwest China
These findings suggest that ecological strategies and N-fixing plant types modulate nutrient resorption. Plants with the resource-conservative strategy are highly proficient in nutrient resorption. We highlight the importance of leaf economics traits and spectrum in regulating leaf nutrient resorption in drylands in the context of global climate change, potentially modulating plant traits and community composition. The higher proficient and efficient N and P resorption of plant species suggests the crucial importance of nutrient resorption in the nutrient cycling of harsh drylands.
