Does the foliage of Acacia spp. determine their distribution? : a study to determine how two different leaf forms may alter the distribution of Acacia spp. in relation to phosphoru... by Cyrus, Mark

However due to the very low concentrations of nutrients particularly P within Australia and the generally longer life span exhibited by phyllodes compared to normal compound leaves, we hypothesized that phyllodes were in fact an adaptation to nutrient limitation, and provide a way in which to limit nutrient loss back to the environment. …”
