The productivity of ecosystems and their capacity to support life depends on access to
reactive nitrogen (N). Over the past century, humans have more than doubled the global …

Soil enzymes are crucial in mediating ecosystems' responses to environmental drivers, so
that the comprehension of their sensitivity to drivers of global change can help make …

The enhanced vegetation productivity driven by increased concentrations of carbon dioxide
(CO2)[ie, the CO2 fertilization effect (CFE)] sustains an important negative feedback on …

The elevation of atmospheric CO 2 concentration has a strong impact on the physiology of
C3 plants, far beyond photosynthesis and C metabolism. In particular, it reduces the …

Forests cover about one-third of Europe's surface and their growth is essential for climate
protection through carbon sequestration and many other economic, environmental, and …

Average nitrogen (N) deposition across Europe has declined since the 1990s. This resulted
in decreased N inputs to forest ecosystems especially in Central and Western Europe where …

Anthropogenic global change is driving an increase in the frequency and intensity of drought
and flood events, along with associated imbalances and limitation of several soil nutrients. In …

Nutrient dilution (ND)–the decrease in the concentration of nutritional elements in plant
tissue–arises from an increase in the mass of carbohydrates and/or a decrease in the 20+ …

Climate warming is predicted to affect temperate forests severely, but the response of fine
roots, key to plant nutrition, water uptake, soil carbon, and nutrient cycling is unclear …

Warming‐induced desiccation of the fertile topsoil layer could lead to decreased nutrient
diffusion, mobility, mineralization and uptake by roots. Increased vertical decoupling …
