Abstract Animals interact with and impact ecosystem biogeochemical cycling—processes known as zoogeochemistry. While the deposition of various animal materials (e.g. carcasses faeces) has been shown to create nutrient hotspots alter cycling storage, inputs from parturition (i.e. calving) have yet be explored. We examine effects ungulate parturition, which often occurs synchronously during spring green‐up therefore aligns increased plant nitrogen demand in temperate biomes. Impacts...
Abstract Background and Aims In closed-canopy, mature forests, tree shrub mycorrhizal associations are important controls on soil nitrogen availability. Whether these plant-fungal effects observed in forests at earlier successional stages, following disturbances such as harvests or windstorms, is largely unexplored. We quantify how versus influence cycling explore the potential for known underlying mechanisms, availability of carbon, to explain patterns we observe. Methods measure net N...
