Zusammenfassung

Temperate and Mediterranean forest productivity may increasingly be limited by shortage of phosphorus as is indicated by declining P concentrations and increasing N:P ratios in leaves and fine roots and reports on recent growth reductions that appear to be caused by P limitation. Continued high atmospheric N deposition in combination with decreased summer precipitation and increased temperature in the course of climate change are likely to result in further alterations of the P nutrition of temperate and Mediterranean forest trees in the next decades, with either negative or positive c...
