“…Terrestrial plants are sessile organisms that have to continuously change their physiology and morphology to adapt to the availability of different nutrients in the soil. To cope with nutrient deficiencies, they can adopt several strategies (Romera et al, 2021), like to stop growth ("stop growing" strategy), to limit the demand of nutrients (Marschner et al, 1996;Shin, 2011;Marzec and Melzer, 2018); to develop physiological and morphological responses ("searching for nutrients" strategy), to facilitate the acquisition of the deficient nutrient(s) (Kobayashi and Nishizawa, 2012;Zhang et al, 2014;García et al, 2015;Romera et al, 2021); to recycle the deficient nutrient(s) from the oldest leaves and organs to the youngest ones (Masclaux-Daubresse et al, 2017;Chen et al, 2019); and to substitute the deficient nutrient(s) by other(s) that can play a similar role (Wakeel et al, 2011;Lambers et al, 2012;Waters et al, 2012). These different strategies are not incompatible between them and can occur simultaneously.…”
