Soils under natural, tropical forests provide essential ecosystem services that have been
shaped by long-term soil–vegetation feedbacks. However, deforestation of tropical forest …

Secondary forests are increasingly important components of human‐modified landscapes in
the tropics. Successional pathways, however, can vary enormously across and within …

The productivity of rainforests growing on highly weathered tropical soils is expected to be
limited by phosphorus availability. Yet, controlled fertilization experiments have been unable …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), either individually or in combination, have been
demonstrated to limit biomass production in terrestrial ecosystems. Field studies have been …

The ecosystem approach to ecology treats organisms and the physical elements of their
environment as components of a single, integrated system. This comprehensive textbook …

Aim Anthropogenic additions of nitrogen (N) are expected to drive terrestrial ecosystems
toward greater phosphorus (P) limitation. However, a comprehensive understanding of how …

Our meta‐analysis of 126 nitrogen addition experiments evaluated nitrogen (N) limitation of
net primary production (NPP) in terrestrial ecosystems. We tested the hypothesis that N …

Contemporary soil science and conservation methods of effective forestry Forests and the
soils that serve as their foundation cover almost a third of the world's land area. Soils …

Anthropogenic activities have increased nitrogen (N) deposition by threefold to fivefold over
the last century, which may considerably affect soil respiration (Rs). Although numerous …

▪ Abstract Managed grazing covers more than 25% of the global land surface and has a
larger geographic extent than any other form of land use. Grazing systems persist under …
