Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The impacts of ongoing global environmental change (GEC) on plants, including plant nutrient relations (or nutrition), are of great interest to both scientists and the broader public. Much of the recent research on GEC and plant nutrition has focused on the effects of elevated carbon dioxide (eCO2) levels on the concentration of nutrients in plant tissue, with less research on other GEC factors or their interactions with eCO2. In this Special Issue, we focus on the less studied aspects of GEC and plant nutrition, including the effects on nutrient uptake, assimilation, transport, and use, as well as nutrient concentration in plant tissues.
