Phyllosphere microbes decouple nutrient enrichment from plant productivity
Resource limitation theory predicts that nutrient enrichment enhances plant productivity. Yet plant-associated microbes can modify this relationship by facilitating nutrient acquisition, competing for resources, or restructuring the plant-environment interface. These processes generate contrasting predictions for whether added nutrients are converted into plant population growth. Whether…
