e0“Reproductive individuals had significantly larger annual N losses and thus a lower average MRT (0.8 vs. 1.8 years), with values < 1 indicating that the annual N losses are greater than the annual average N pool.”
t0“three species of the carnivorous genus Pinguicula”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- 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 Greater reproductive allocation was linked to nitrogen turnover.
- Association Greater nitrogen turnover reduced nitrogen use efficiency.
- Association Species rankings for reproductive allocation and nitrogen use efficiency were reversed.
