The scaling relationship between leaf nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in vascular epiphytes

The elevated β underscores epiphytes' reliance on atmospheric nutrient inputs and adaptive P retention. Habitat-driven differences highlight niche specialization, while functional group uniformity reflects stoichiometric constraints of canopy living. These findings redefine epiphyte nutrient ecology within broader plant stoichiometry theory.

Abstract

The elevated β underscores epiphytes' reliance on atmospheric nutrient inputs and adaptive P retention. Habitat-driven differences highlight niche specialization, while functional group uniformity reflects stoichiometric constraints of canopy living. These findings redefine epiphyte nutrient ecology within broader plant stoichiometry theory.
