Leaf life span and nutrient resorption as determinants of plant nutrient conservation in temperate-arctic regions

• Nutrient conservation plays an important role in plants adapted to infertile environments. Nutrients can be conserved mainly by extending the life span of plant parts and/or by minimizing the nutrient content of those parts that are abscissed. Together th
