The leaf economics spectrum, and the global spectrum of plant forms and functions revealed
fundamental axes of variation in plant traits, which represent different ecological strategies …

Nitrogen (N) deposition and biological N fixation (BNF) are main external N inputs into
terrestrial ecosystems. However, few studies have simultaneously quantified the contribution …

The impacts of enhanced nitrogen (N) deposition on the global forest carbon (C) sink and
other ecosystem services may depend on whether N is deposited in reduced (mainly as …

Elevated nitrogen (N) deposition may increase net primary productivity in N‐limited
terrestrial ecosystems and thus enhance the terrestrial carbon (C) sink. To assess the …

Decades of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition in the northeastern USA have enhanced
this globally important forest carbon (C) sink by relieving N limitation. While many N …

Human activities have drastically increased nitrogen (N) deposition onto forests globally.
This may have alleviated N limitation and thus stimulated productivity and carbon (C) …

Nitrogen (N) deposition is known to increase carbon (C) sequestration in N‐limited boreal
forests. However, the long‐term effects of N deposition on ecosystem carbon fluxes have …

Anthropogenic activities have profoundly altered the global nitrogen (N) cycle. The
substantial changes in anthropogenic N inputs to various systems have resulted in …

We review the mechanisms of deleterious nitrogen (N) deposition impacts on temperate
forests, with a particular focus on trees and lichens. Elevated anthropogenic N deposition to …

Land management for carbon storage is discussed as being indispensable for climate
change mitigation because of its large potential to remove carbon dioxide from the …
