The simple fact is that jarrah leaves are 10-fold poorer than P-rich agricultural (dicot) leaves, in P
In turn, jarrah wood is 10-fold poorer than jarrah leaves, in P.
This means two orders of magnitude of impoverishment of wood, in P
MUSHROOMS, USA
crude protein content about 17% (12-27%) (d.m.)
(but in case of Morchella, about 30% (d.m.)
Phosphorus about 0.40% (0.20-0.58%)
TASK Now compare these values with plants
More data for mushrooms:
crude protein about 23%,P about 0.55%
crude protein about 30%, P about 0.68%
Sherman and Riveros 1990
Tropical grasses of the world have
P = 0.02-0.58%, mean = 0.22% P (d.m.)
Cattle requirement = about 0.17% P
So, Restios are hopeless for P, at about 0.1-0.3% P
