Progressive Nitrogen Limitation of Ecosystem Responses to Rising Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new framework that centers on the concept of progressive N limitation (PNL) for studying the interactions between C and N in terrestrial ecosystems, and examined conditions under which PNL may or may not constrain net primary production and carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Responses of terrestrial ecosystems to temperature and precipitation change: a meta-analysis of experimental manipulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used metaanalysis to synthesize ecosystem-level responses to warming, altered precipitation, and their combination, focusing on plant growth and ecosystem carbon (C) balance, including biomass, net primary production (NPP), respiration, net ecosystem exchange (NEE), and ecosystem photosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitrogen and Climate Change

TL;DR: In this article, Hungate et al. argue that these carbon uptake estimates are too high because the models do not take other nutrients such as nitrogen into account appropriately, and they estimate that there will not be enough nitrogen available to sustain the high carbon uptake scenarios.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions between plant growth and soil nutrient cycling under elevated CO2: a meta-analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of elevated atmospheric CO2 on nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems has been evaluated using meta-analytic techniques, using 117 studies on plant biomass production, soil organic matter dynamics and biological N2 fixation in FACE and open top chamber (OTC) experiments.
