Forests influence climate and mitigate global change through the storage of carbon in soils.
In turn, these complex ecosystems face important challenges, including increases in carbon …

Humans have dramatically increased atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition globally. At the
coarsest resolution, N deposition is correlated with shifts from ectomycorrhizal (EcM) to …

Globally increasing nitrogen (N) deposition is recognized as an important regulator of soil
microbial communities. However, how N enrichment affects soil microbial diversity, richness …

Soil microbes comprise a large portion of the genetic diversity on Earth and influence a large
number of important ecosystem processes. Increasing atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition …

Most trees form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) which influence access to
growth-limiting soil resources. Mesocosm experiments repeatedly show that EMF species …

Microorganisms mediate nutrient cycling in soils, and thus it is assumed that they largely
control responses of terrestrial ecosystems to anthropogenic nutrient inputs. Therefore, it is …

China has experienced a widespread increase in N deposition due to intensive
anthropogenic activities, particularly in the subtropical regions. However, the effects of long …

Soil organic nitrogen (N) is a critical resource for plants and microbes, but the processes that
govern its cycle are not well-described. To promote a holistic understanding of soil N …

Fungal decomposition of soil organic matter depends on soil nitrogen (N) availability. This
ecosystem process is being jeopardized by changes in N inputs that have resulted from a …

Nitrogen (N) is widely distributed in the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and
biosphere. It is a basic component of every plant cell as well as microorganisms, as a …
