- Abstract
The article presents a study which tested, provenance, phylogeny, and life span interact to determine species distributions on natural gradients of soil chemistry in upland prairie sites. The study finds that strong control of soil nitrate and phosphorus in community composition. However, the distribution of species on gradients were not related to provenance, life span, or phylogenetic groupings. It uses a greenhouse experiment to measure nitrogen and phosphorus supply on common grass.
