Nutrient uptake by vegetation as a function of inorganic nutrient prod

Nutrient uptake by vegetation (tree litterfall and herbaceous production) as a function of inorganic nutrient production (mineralization) in soil for (A) nitrogen and (B) phosphorus. (From Rybicki and others, 2015, fig. 5; N, nitrogen; P, phosphorus; herb, herbaceous production; g-N m^-2 yr^-1, grams of nitrogen per square meter per year; g-P m^-2 yr^-1, grams of phosphorus per square meter per year; dashed line indicates 1:1 relation)
