Table 7.

Ecosystem P acquiring and P recycling indicators, Ecosystem P Nutrition Index ENIP, and phosphorus ecosystem nutrition strategy of Central European temperate beech forests on sites with different parent material. N1-N7 refer to the ecosystem P acquiring and P recycling indicators presented in Table 3. ND: Not determined. *Normalization to the interval Bad Brückenau – Lüss as described in Sect. Assessment of ecosystem P nutrition strategy. Dolostone and Limestone soils are ordered according to their stage of pedogenesis
