Aim Elevated inputs of biologically reactive nitrogen (N) are considered to be one the most substantial threats biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems. Several attempts have been made scrutinize factors driving species loss following excess N input, but generalizations across sites or vegetation types cannot yet made. Here we focus on relative importance type, local environment (climate, soil pH, wet deposition load) and experimentally applied (cumulative) dose response addition. Location...
Abstract A change in land use from agriculture to forest generally increases soil acidity. However, it remains unclear what extent plant traits can enhance or mitigate acidification caused by atmospheric deposition. Soil is detrimental for the survival of many species. An in‐depth understanding tree species‐specific effects on therefore crucial, particularly view predicted global acidifying nitrogen ( N ) Here, we report rates a chronosequence broadleaved deciduous forests planted former...
Abstract. Numerous recent studies have indicated that dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen (DON) play an important role in C N cycling natural ecosystems, shown deposition alters the concentrations fluxes of substances may increase leaching losses from forests. Our study was set up to accurately quantify flux patterns DOC, DON inorganic (DIN) deciduous coniferous forest Flanders, Belgium, under historical high deposition. We measured DIN at two weekly intervals a silver birch (SB)...
