Abstract
⺠Elevated atmospheric CO2 may increase desert plant growth and nutrient demand. ⺠Increased nutrient resorption may result in lower leaf litter quality. ⺠Greater nutrient retention occurs in a dry (low growth) vs. wet (high growth) year. ⺠Precipitation has a stronger effect on nutrient resorption in desert shrubs than CO2.
