TL;DR: For example, this article found that soil and plant δ15N values systematically decreased with increasing mean annual precipitation (MAP) and decreasing mean annual temperature (MAT), suggesting a systematic change in the source of plant available N (organic/NH4+ versus NO3−) with climate.

TL;DR: This review shows the importance that organism elemental homeostasis plays in determining the types of physiological processes used to acquire, assemble, store, and release biogenic elements, which are found in widely varying ratios in the environment.

TL;DR: It is concluded that plants adjust the balance of protein and RNA to favour either speed or efficiency of protein synthesis, but this balance does not alone dictate leaf stoichiometry.

TL;DR: It is indicated that significant soil C can accumulate with reforestation and that there are strong legacies of pasture use and reforestation in plant community structure and rates of plant C sequestration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the observed and anticipated impacts of climate change on ecosystem service provision and livelihoods in the US and highlight promising adaptive measures, and suggest using dynamic balance sheets or accounts of natural capital and natural assets to prioritize and evaluate national and regional adaptation strategies that involve ecosystem services.
