TL;DR: Using output from global chemistry transport models, this article provided the first estimates of recent (mid-1990s) and future (2050) rates and distributions of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition within biodiversity hotspots.

TL;DR: Cornelissen et al. as discussed by the authors showed that lichen decline in arctic ecosystems is a function of increases in vascular plant biomass, and proposed a global change and arctic ecology model.

TL;DR: Parasitic plants can alter the physical environment around them--including soil water and nutrients, atmospheric CO2 and temperature--and so may also be considered as ecosystem engineers, which can have further consequences in altering the resource supply to and behaviour of other organisms within parasitic plant communities.

TL;DR: In this paper, a consensus is emerging that the underlying causes and future dynamics of so-called Arctic greening and browning trends are more complex, variable and inherently scale-dependent than previously thought.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review responses to simulated N deposition from nine experimental sites across the UK in a diversity of heathland, grassland, bog and dune ecosystems which include studies with a high level of realism and where many are also the longest running globally on their ecosystem type.
