...…global scale, current N emission scenarios project that most regions will have increased rates of atmospheric N deposition in 2030 (Dentener et al. 2006), which is causing concern about significant impacts on global plant biodiversity (Vitousek et al. 1997, Sala et al. 2000, Phoenix et al. 2006)....

...In general, the potential risk of global impacts of N enrichment on biodiversity have been recognized (e.g., Sala et al. 2000, Phoenix et al. 2006), but there has been no attempt to compile the evidence across major global biomes of the effects of N deposition on plant diversity....
