Title

John E. Beringer; Andrew W. B. Johnston Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences 1984. doi:10.1080/07352688409382181
Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation Nearly all plant species are likely to benefit from nitrogen fixation by root-associated bacteria.
- Observation Leguminous plants with root nodules containing rhizobia can fix more than 100 kg N per hectare per year.
- Association The benefit of nitrogen fixation to plants is related to the degree of complexity of the plant-bacteria interaction.
