The retention times of both nutrients were strongly related to the nu- trient status of each species. These results suggest that a prolonged retention time is a way of increasing nutrient use efficiency in conditions of low nutrient availability. Plants can increase the retention time of nutrients in their leaf biomass by means of an increase in leaf longevity and/or by means of an increase in retranslocation effi- ciency. However, the effect of the retranslocation effi- ciency on retention times was almost negligible compared with the effect of leaf longevity. This suggests that an increase in leaf longevity is probably the best adaptation for increasing efficiency in the use of nutrients.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue></record></records></xml>
