Nitrogen cycling and nitrogen saturation in temperate forest ecosystems.
The last decade has seen a dramatic shift in the focus of nitrogen cycling research in forest ecosystems. Concerns over nitrogen deficiencies and effects of removal in harvest have given way to concerns over excess nitrogen availability and the potential for forest decline and surface water pollution. Driving this paradigm shift is the increase in atmospheric deposition of nitrogen to forests d...
متن کاملNitrogen Saturation in Temperate Forest Ecosystems Hypotheses revisited
N itrogen emissions to the atmosphere due to human ace tivity remain elevated in industrialized regions of the world and are accelerating in many developing regions (Galloway 1995). Although the deposition of sulfur has been reduced over much of the United States and Europe by aggressive environmental protection policies, current nitrogen deposition reduction targets in the US are modest. Nitro...
متن کاملNitrogen saturation in stream ecosystems.
The concept of nitrogen (N) saturation has organized the assessment of N loading in terrestrial ecosystems. Here we extend the concept to lotic ecosystems by coupling Michaelis-Menten kinetics and nutrient spiraling. We propose a series of saturation response types, which may be used to characterize the proximity of streams to N saturation. We conducted a series of short-term N releases using a...
متن کاملGross nitrogen process rates in temperate forest soils exhibiting symptoms of nitrogen saturation
In order to examine how fundamental soil N cycling processes are affected by elevated N inputs to temperate forest ecosystems, we made concurrent laboratory measurements of gross rates of nitrogen (N) mineralization, nitrification, nitrate (NO3 ) consumption, ammonium (NH4 þ) immobilization, nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitric oxide (NO) production, and NO consumption in soils from the Harvard Fores...
