Stability of elemental carbon in a savanna soil

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the stability of oxidation-resistant elemental carbon (OREC) in a sandy savanna soil at the Matopos fire trial site, Zimbabwe and concluded that a significant proportion of OREC can undergo natural degradation in well-aerated environments on decadal/centennial timescales.

Winners and losers

TL;DR: Forest pioneer tree species survived best through fire and drought in the savanna compared to the other two vegetation types, likely a result of the open-canopied savanna providing greater access to light, thereby releasing seedlings from light limitation and enabling them to make and store more starch.
Journal ArticleDOI

Co-limitation of photosynthetic capacity by nitrogen and phosphorus in West Africa woodlands.

TL;DR: A new model is presented representing independent constraints by N and P on photosynthesis, which assumes that limitation of photosynthesis will result from the least abundant nutrient, thereby being less sensitive to the allocation of the non-limiting nutrient to non-photosynthetic pools.
