...A nutrient is a chemical that an organism needs to live and grow or a substance used in an organism's metabolism which must be taken in from its environment.Whitney, Elanor and Sharon Rolfes. 2005. Understanding Nutrition, 10th edition, p 6. Thomson-Wadsworth. Nutrients are the substances that enrich the body. They build and repair tissues, give heat and energy, and regulate body processes. Methods for nutrient intake vary, with animals and protists consuming foods that are digested by an internal digestive system, but most plants ingest nutrients directly from the soil through their roots or from the atmosphere. Some plants, like carnivorous plants, externally digest nutrients from animals, before ingesting them. The effects of nutrients are dose-dependent. Read full entry

Carnivorous plants are adapted in areas with soil that lack specific nutrients (commonly nitrogen). So, they must consume animals in order to get the nitrogen. Note that it is most commonly nitrogen and can be other nutrients to. |

What are the most effective I'm working on a restoration
monitoring plan for a class
and am trying to figure out
which nutrient cycling
parameters to measure to
estimate nutrient cycling. I'm
most interested in C, P, and
N. The wetland is in the
Pacific NW. If anyone can lead
me to some good academic
papers on this topic that
would be great....

There are many ways to go about that study. from sampling pore water to real time monitoring etc. there are lots of papers on the subject. If you are at a university, I would hit the library and use The Web of Science search engine and look up nutrient cycling in wetlands. I have included the USGS website below. It may have the info you need in there publications list. good luck! I love wetlands! |

if you add the limiting nutrient the carrying capacity will be raised. depending on how much is added it may or may not be the limiting nutrient after-wards. |
