Ya-Jing Zhang et al. investigated the growth and metabolic responses of three clones under #NitrogenDeposition and contrasting phosphorus distributions in subtropical Chinese fir plantations.

🌳 #NitrogenDeposition ➕ phosphorus distribution patterns ➡️ root adaptation

Results:
1️⃣ N deposition restructures root foraging strategies along a “morphological-enzymatic” axis;
2️⃣ P-efficient clones exploit spatial nutrient heterogeneity through root proliferation rather than #RootOrganicAcid investment.
