title: [Review on research of plant nutrient use efficiency].
abstract: The concept of nutrient use efficiency is the central to the understanding of ecosystem function. We reviewed the concept of nutrient use efficiency and resorption, its expression and calculation, affecting factors and biochemical basis, we also analyzed the current problems in the studies of nutrient use efficiency, and pointed out the directions for future research work of this field.
