e0“This study presents evidence for a direct link between reproduction, reflected in a higher relative allocation to inflorescences, turnover and N use‐efficiency; the latter being reduced because of increased N turnover.”

- Observation Pinguicula had a nitrogen use strategy resembling noncarnivorous herbs and grasses.
- Association N pool size was similar in reproductive and nonreproductive plants.
- Association efficiency of N resorption from senescent leaves was similar in reproductive and nonreproductive plants.
- Association Reproductive individuals had larger annual nitrogen losses.
- Association Reproductive individuals had lower mean nitrogen residence time, 0.8 versus 1.8 years.
- Association Greater reproductive allocation was linked to nitrogen turnover.
- Association Species rankings for reproductive allocation and nitrogen use efficiency were reversed.
