TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the long-term influence of pasturing and cultivation on soil processes in the forests that develop after abandonment and found that pastures generally had intermediate nutrient ratios and N transformations but were often more similar to woodlots, which suggests that plowing and amendments, rather than forest clearance, have the greatest impact on soil organic matter and nutrients.

TL;DR: This article used a chronosequence approach to determine changes in ecosystem C and N during the first 115 years of forest development after agricultural abandonment in Rhode Island, USA, and found that most of the C was sequestered into plant biomass (73%) with less stored in the forest floor (17%) and deep mineral soil (6%; 20-70 cm depth).

TL;DR: The findings showed that NIs could create a win-win scenario that reduces the negative impact of N leaching and greenhouse gas production, while increases the agricultural output, and NI's potential negative impacts should be fully considered before large-scale application.

TL;DR: In this paper, the cumulative effects of anthropogenic nitrogen and climate change are considered, including how climate alters nitrogen cycling and availability, and the impact of nitrogen addition on carbon cycling, acidification and biodiversity.

TL;DR: In this article, the chemistry of 26 small watershed streams within the Salmon River basin of the Oregon Coast Range was studied and the influence of red alder (Alnus rubra) on watershed nutrient export was analyzed.
