Decoding Plant Adaptation Strategies: Insights From Latitudinal Patterns of Leaf Phosphorus Allocation
Summary statement Three competing hypotheses (TPH, SNH, and EDH) overlook critical variations in P fraction allocation, which limit our understanding of how plants fine‐tune P use across environments. Meng et al. (2025) provided the first comprehensive analysis of global latitudinal patterns in leaf P fractions, offering valuable insights for predicting how vegetation nutrient strategies may evolve under climate change.
