Forest soil carbon (C) storage is a significant component of the global C cycle, and is
important for sustaining forest productivity. Although forest management may have …

Humans have continuously interacted with natural systems, resulting in the formation and
development of coupled human and natural systems (CHANS). Recent studies reveal the …

Until recently, the common view of the terrestrial nitrogen cycle had been driven by two core
assumptions—plants use only inorganic N and they compete poorly against soil microbes …

Recognition of the importance of land-use history and its legacies in most ecological
systems has been a major factor driving the recent focus on human activity as a legitimate …

▪ Abstract Landscape ecology focuses on the reciprocal interactions between spatial pattern
and ecological processes, and it is well integrated with ecology. The field has grown rapidly …

The availability or lack of nutrients shapes ecosystems in fundamental ways. From forest
productivity to soil fertility, from the diversity of animals to the composition of microbial …

The sources and distribution of anthropogenic nitrogen (N), including N fertilization and N
fixed during fossil-fuel combustion, are rapidly becoming globally distributed. Responses of …

Concern is resurfacing in the United States over the long-term effects of excess nitrogen (N)
deposition and mobility in the environment. We present here a new synthesis of existing …

The C: N ratio is considered as an indicator of nitrate leaching in response to high
atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition. However, the C: N ratio is influenced by a multitude of …

Inclusion of fundamental ecological interactions between carbon and nitrogen cycles in the
land component of an atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) leads to …
