Large-scale forest girdling shows that current photosynthesis drives soil respiration

TL;DR: Girdling reduced soil respiration within 1–2 months by about 54% relative to respiration on ungirdled control plots, and that decreases of up to 37% were detected within 5 days, which clearly show that the flux of current assimilates to roots is a key driver of soil resppiration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tansley Review No. 95 15N natural abundance in soil-plant systems

TL;DR: Measurements of δ15 N might offer the advantage of giving insights into the N cycle without disturbing the system by adding 15 N tracer, as well as giving information on N source effects, which can give insights into N cycle rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Boreal forest plants take up organic nitrogen

TL;DR: The data indicate that organic nitrogen is important for these different plants, even when they are competing with each other and with non-symbiotic microorganisms, which has major implications for the understanding of the effects of nitrogen deposition, global warming and intensified forestry.
