Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature sensitivity of soil carbon decomposition and feedbacks to climate change
TL;DR: This work has suggested that several environmental constraints obscure the intrinsic temperature sensitivity of substrate decomposition, causing lower observed ‘apparent’ temperature sensitivity, and these constraints may, themselves, be sensitive to climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global assessment of nitrogen deposition effects on terrestrial plant diversity: a synthesis.
Roland Bobbink,Kevin Hicks,James N. Galloway,Till Spranger,Rob Alkemade,Mike Ashmore,Mercedes M. C. Bustamante,Steve Cinderby,Eric A. Davidson,Frank Dentener,Bridget A. Emmett,Jan Willem Erisman,Mark E. Fenn,Frank S. Gilliam,Annika Nordin,Linda H. Pardo,W. de Vries +16 more
TL;DR: Ecosystems thought of as not N limited, such as tropical and subtropical systems, may be more vulnerable in the regeneration phase, in situations where heterogeneity in N availability is reduced by atmospheric N deposition, on sandy soils, or in montane areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil water content and temperature as independent or confounded factors controlling soil respiration in a temperate mixed hardwood forest
TL;DR: In this article, the spatial and temporal variation in soil respiration in a temperate forested landscape and to evaluate temperature and soil water functions as predictors of soil CO2 efflux was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Managing nitrogen for sustainable development
TL;DR: Historical patterns of agricultural nitrogen-use efficiency are examined and a broad range of national approaches to agricultural development and related pollution are found, to meet the 2050 global food demand projected by the Food and Agriculture Organization.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of deep roots in the hydrological and carbon cycles of Amazonian forests and pastures
Daniel C. Nepstad,Cláudio José Reis de Carvalho,Eric A. Davidson,Peter H. Jipp,Peter H. Jipp,Paul Lefebvre,Gustavo Hees de Negreiros,Elson D. da Silva,Thomas A. Stone,Susan E. Trumbore,Simone Aparecida Vieira +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate that half of the closed forests of Brazilian Amazonia depend on deep root systems to maintain green canopies during the dry season, and as much as 15% of this deep-soil carbon turns over on annual or decadal timescales.
