John S. Kominoski, Amy D. Rosemond, Jonathan P. Benstead, Vladislav Gulis, John C. Maerz, and David W. P. Manning. 2015. Low-to-moderate nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations accelerate microbially driven litter breakdown rates. Ecological Applications 25:856–865. http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/14-1113.1

Appendix C. Plots of residuals of leaf litter breakdown rates (k dd^-1) versus dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) against soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), and k dd^-1 vs. SRP against DIN.

Fig. C1. Linear regression models of the residuals of litter breakdown rates (k dd^-1) for (A) maple and (B) rhododendron vs. log₁₀-transformed dissolved inorganic nitrogen (log DIN; mg L^-1) against log₁₀-transformed soluble reactive phosphorus (log SRP; mg L^-1).
