Soil nitrogen (N) fixation, driven by microbial reactions, is critical to support the entrance of
nitrogen in nutrient poor and pioneer ecosystems. However, how and why N fixation and soil …

Soil microorganisms play important roles in nitrogen cycling within forest ecosystems.
Current research has revealed that a wider variety of microorganisms, with unexpected …

Biological nitrogen fixation can be an important source of nitrogen in tropical forests that
serve as a major CO2 sink. Extensive deforestation of the Amazon is known to influence …

Although nitrogen (N)-fixing bacteria (diazotrophs) play a vital role in the biosphere's N
cycle. However, large uncertainty exists regarding how atmospheric N deposition regulates …

Increasing nitrogen (N) deposition profoundly affects nutrient cycling in soil, thereby
influencing forest ecosystem productivity and function. Soil microorganisms are integral in …

Biological nitrogen (N 2) fixation by free-living diazotrophs is an important source of
bioavailable N in forest ecosystems. However, little is known about how these free-living …

Abstract Diazotrophs, nitrogen (N)-fixing microbes, play a pivotal role in N cycling in
tropical/subtropical forests. However, little is known about the dynamics of diazotroph …

Soil fungi and bacteria are the key players in the transformation and processing of carbon
and nutrients in terrestrial ecosystems, yet controls on their abundance and activity are not …

The Amazon rainforest, the largest equatorial forest in the world, is being cleared for pasture
and agricultural use at alarming rates. Tropical deforestation is known to cause alterations in …

Background N fixation is one of the most important microbially driven ecosystem processes
on Earth, allowing N to enter the soil from the atmosphere, and regulating plant productivity …
