Nitrogen resorption efficiency in autumn leaves correlated with chlorophyll resorption, not with anthocyanin production
The paper investigates the relationship between anthocyanin production, chlorophyll resorption, and nitrogen resorption efficiency in autumn leaves across 55 tree species, finding no correlation between anthocyanins and nitrogen resorption, but a link to chlorophyll resorption.
