Nitrogen-phosphorus relationships in lichens

Nitrogen enrichment promotes phosphomonoesterase (PME) activity in the common heathland lichen Cladonia portentosa. This is associated with a marked increase in thallus N:P mass ratio and significant up-regulation of inorganic phosphate uptake capacity, evidencing a shift from N-limited to P-limite...
