The effects of increased atmospheric nitrogen inputs, from both NOy and NHx, on diversity in
various semi‐natural and natural ecosystems are reviewed. The severity of these impacts …

At the global scale, among all N (nitrogen) species in the atmosphere and their deposition
on to terrestrial vegetation and other receptors, NH3 (ammonia) is considered to be the …

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is a recognized threat to plant diversity in temperate
and northern parts of Europe and North America. This paper assesses evidence from field …

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 …

Although the structure and composition of plant communities is known to influence the
functioning of ecosystems, there is as yet no agreement as to how these should be …

It is a widely held belief that a climax vegetation of closed forest systems covered the
lowlands of Central and Western Europe before humans intervened in prehistoric times to …

Species-rich grassland and heathland communities still occur in low-intensity farming
systems in many European countries. Gradually, such systems have either been abandoned …

A coupling of above-ground plant diversity and below-ground microbial diversity has been
implied in studies dedicated to assessing the role of macrophyte diversity on the stability …

In a 12-year experimental study of nitrogen (N) deposition on Minnesota grasslands, plots
dominated by native warm-season grasses shifted to low-diversity mixtures dominated by …

In a 2-year experiment, the evergreen shrubs Erica tetralix and Calluna vulgaris (dominant
on nutrient-poor heathland soils) and the perennial deciduous grass Molinia caerulea …
