Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Increasing nitrogen and phosphorus increased cucumber growth and floral display.
- Association Male floral traits were more plastic to soil nutrients than female flowers.
- Intervention effect At a 4:1 nitrogen to phosphorus ratio, male flower nectar volume and pollen number increased.
- Association At a 4:1 nitrogen to phosphorus ratio, bumble bee visitation increased.
- Intervention effect Nectar sugar composition remained consistent across soil treatments.
- Intervention effect Female nectar volume remained consistent across soil treatments.
- Intervention effect Pollen protein and lipid concentrations remained consistent across soil treatments.
- Intervention effect Highly skewed nutrient ratios reduced flower numbers and reward quantity.
- Intervention effect Highly skewed nutrient ratios reduced pollinator attraction and yield.
