Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect A majority of the 23 Tasmanian Eucalyptus species responded strongly and positively in biomass to nitrogen enrichment.
- Intervention effect E. pulchella had the smallest mean response, a 6.21 percent increase in biomass per g N m-2 yr-1 added.
- Observation Responses to N differed strongly between two phylogenetic lineages in the Eucalyptus subgenus Symphyomyrtus.
- Observation After controlling for phylogenetic non-independence, eucalypt responses to N were not associated with functional traits.
- Observation Post-hoc analyses showed a phylogenetic pattern in specific root length similar to that of responses to N.
- Observation Eucalypt responses to N were not differentially limited by P.
- Association The authors conclude that phylogeny is a powerful predictor of winners and losers in anthropogenic N enrichment scenarios in Tasmanian eucalypts.
