  • Differential responses to guano fertilization among tropical tree species with varying functional traits.

    Young HS, McCauley DJ, Dirzo R. Am J Bot. 2011; 98 (2): 207-14

    Seabirds often cause significant changes to soil properties, and seabird-dominated systems often host unique plant communities. This study experimentally (1) examined species-specific responses to seabird guano gradients, (2) considered the role that differential functional traits among species play in altering plant response to guano, and (3) investigated the implications of seabird guano on range-expanding species.
