TL;DR: A range of evidence supports a positive terrestrial carbon sink in response to iCO2, albeit with uncertain magnitude and strong suggestion of a role for additional agents of global change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light regulates tropical symbiotic nitrogen fixation more strongly than soil nitrogen
TL;DR: It is shown that light regulates symbiotic nitrogen fixation more strongly than does soil nitrogen and that light mediates the response of symbiotics nitrogen fixation to soil nitrogen availability, and can resolve a long-standing biogeochemical paradox.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stoichiometric flexibility in response to fertilization along gradients of environmental and organismal nutrient richness
TL;DR: It was found that regardless of limitation status, N-fertilization tended to significantly reduce biota C:N and increase N:P, and P fertilization reduced C:P andN:P in both terrestrial and aquatic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in root architecture under elevated concentrations of CO2 and nitrogen reflect alternate soil exploration strategies
Katilyn V. Beidler,Benton N. Taylor,Allan E. Strand,Emily R. Cooper,Marcos Schönholz,Seth G. Pritchard +5 more
TL;DR: Investigating the architectural response of fine roots exposed to 14 yr of CO₂ enrichment and 6 yr of nitrogen (N) fertilization in a Pinus taeda (loblolly pine) forest suggests that changes in root architecture may allow trees to effectively exploit larger volumes of soil, thereby pre-empting progressive nutrient limitations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen-fixing trees inhibit growth of regenerating Costa Rican rainforests.
TL;DR: It is shown that nitrogen fixers actually slow forest regrowth, providing strong evidence that N-fixing trees do not always serve the facilitative role to neighboring trees during tropical forest regeneration that is expected given their N inputs into these systems.
