Global patterns of phosphatase activity in natural soils
Soil phosphatase levels strongly control the biotic pathways of phosphorus (P), an essential
element for life, which is often limiting in terrestrial ecosystems. We investigated the …

Responses of forest ecosystems in Europe to decreasing nitrogen deposition
Average nitrogen (N) deposition across Europe has declined since the 1990s. This resulted
in decreased N inputs to forest ecosystems especially in Central and Western Europe where …

Empirical support for the biogeochemical niche hypothesis in forest trees
The possibility of using the elemental compositions of species as a tool to identify
species/genotype niche remains to be tested at a global scale. We investigated relationships …
