Storage is a characteristic feature of most plants, particularly perennials, and the subject has
been thoroughly reviewed according to its chemistry and physiology (9, 40, 59, 80, 133 …

The coupled carbon-climate models reported in the literature all demonstrate a positive
feedback between terrestrial carbon cycles and climate warming. A primary mechanism …

For the past 3.8 billion years, the geochemistry of the Earth's surface-its atmosphere, waters
and exposed crust-has been determined by the presence of biota. Photosynthetic organisms …

Publisher Summary In this chapter, the advances that have been made in understanding the
ecology of the mineral nutrition of wild plants from terrestrial ecosystems have been …

We manipulated light, temperature, and nutrients in moist tussock tundra near Toolik Lake,
Alaska to determine how global changes in these parameters might affect community and …

This is the third edition of an established and successful university textbook. The original
structure and philosophy of the book continue in this new edition, providing a genuine …

A significant increase in reactive nitrogen (N) added to terrestrial ecosystems through
agricultural fertilization or atmospheric deposition is considered to be one of the most …

I compared effects of increased temperature and litter from different Alaskan tundra plant
species on cycling of carbon and nitrogen through litter and soil in microcosms. Warming …

PLANT growth in arctic tundra is strongly nitrogen limited despite large pools of soil organic
nitrogen1–4. Here we report that fieldcollected roots of Eriophorum vaginatum, an arctic …

Rapid warming in the Arctic threatens to amplify climate change by releasing the region's
vast stocks of soil carbon to the atmosphere. Increased nutrient availability may exacerbate …
