TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the consequences of species loss on the nitrogen budget of plant communities may be more severe if legume species are lost, and there is indication that P availability in the soil facilitates the legume effect on biomass production and biomass nitrogen accumulation.

TL;DR: Investigation of the daily water balance of intact, naturally growing, adult Larix and Picea trees without major injury found that plant water status recovers with the decrease of transpiration and the refilling of the water storage sites.

TL;DR: In this paper, carbon pools and fluxes of Siberian and European forests (600 and 300 million ha, respectively) were investigated based on review and original data, and the productivity of ecosystems, expressed as positive rate when the amount of carbon in the ecosystem increases, while (following micrometeorological convention) downward fluxes from the atmosphere to the vegetation (NEE) are expressed as negative numbers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed continuous eddy covariance measurements of carbon dioxide over an unmanaged beech forest in the Hainich National Park in Central Germany as part of the EU project CARBOEUROFLUX.
