Carbon. Nitrogen is an important nutrient, but the most important thing for a plant is carbon. That and chlorophyll.

uh.... references please?!?

here is MY reference:

QuoteDwight: Listen up. Let's start... from the ground up. Where does paper come from?
Kevin: [at the same time as Dwight] Trees.
Dwight: Trees! And where do trees grow?
Kevin: [at the same time as Dwight] Forest.
Dwight: Soil. Right. We have, in front of you here, seven different types of Pennsylvania top soil. Now, what would you say... is the most important element in the production of above ground leafy growth? Probably phosphorus, right? [Angela smiles, shakes her head "no"] Wrong! It's nitrogen! Absorb this information. Good! Now, let us discuss precipitation. Stanley! When rainfall occurs, does it usually fall in a liquid, solid, or gaseous... state?
Stanley: Liquid.
Dwight: Very good! You have earned one Schrute Buck.
Stanley: I don't want it.

Water.  Hands down.
Everything dies without it
kinda funny.  local TV station has a nice strech of green grass...  or rather, had.  Before the dought anyways.  Their landscapers have started cutting out the dead patches and replacing them with dirt and rocks spaypainted green.  I find it quite amusing, as it looked better as dying grass.

Also sticker, he's Volkov.  He needs no reference, as he knows all.

Peace, go to a Biology book. Look up photosynthesis. Then look up something called the Krebs cycle. You'll fine very quickly that the most important thing for plants is carbon. Well, carbon and water. Carbon compounds and water are everywhere in the processes that make plants grow. Nitrogen is an important nutrient for many reasons, but without carbon, trees and plants could not exist. If CO2 wasn't a greenhouse gas, the big increase in it would be very good for plant life. Dips in CO2 levels are bad for plant life.

Carbon is the most important element in life, period. [Most?] life on earth is carbon-based.
