“…The effects of climatic factors and soil nutrients in the determination of plant biomass production have long been of central interest to ecologists (Huxman et al, 2004;Fay et al, 2015). Recently, Radujković et al (2021) found that soil micronutrients (particularly Zn and Fe) were important predictors of aboveground biomass production (Biomass). In their analyses, the combination of atmospheric factors that best explained the variation in Biomass was selected first; then, soil physicochemical properties, C-N-P nutrients, and other nutrients (K, Ca, Mg, Na, S, Zn, Fe, B, Cu, and Mn) were sequentially added to construct structural equation models (SEMs).…”
