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 …

China has been experiencing a rapid increase in nitrogen (N) deposition due to intensified
anthropogenic N emissions since the late 1970s. By synthesizing experimental and …

Most trees form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) which influence access to
growth-limiting soil resources. Mesocosm experiments repeatedly show that EMF species …

Explaining the large-scale diversity of soil organisms that drive biogeochemical processes—
and their responses to environmental change—is critical. However, identifying consistent …

Mountain ecosystems are sensitive and reliable indicators of climate change. Long-term
studies may be extremely useful in assessing the responses of high-elevation ecosystems to …

Changing environmental conditions may substantially interact with site quality and forest
stand characteristics, and impact forest growth and carbon sequestration. Understanding the …

Across the 28 EU member states there were nearly half a million premature deaths in 2015
as a result of exposure to PM 2.5, O 3 and NO 2. To set the target for air quality levels and …

The response of forest ecosystems to increased atmospheric CO 2 is constrained by nutrient
availability. It is thus crucial to account for nutrient limitation when studying the forest …

Acid deposition arising from sulphur (S) and nitrogen (N) emissions from fossil fuel
combustion and agriculture has contributed to the acidification of terrestrial ecosystems in …

In macroecology, shifting from coarse-to local-scale explanatory factors is crucial for
understanding how global change impacts functional diversity (FD). Plants possess diverse …
