The paradigm that permafrost-affected soils show restricted mineral nitrogen (N) cycling in
favor of organic N compounds is based on the observation that net N mineralization rates in …

Abstract Atmospheric nitrogen (N 2)-fixing legume trees are frequently used for the
restoration of depleted, degraded, and contaminated soils. However, biological N 2 fixation …

One of the most distinct but unresolved global patterns is the apparent variation in plant–
symbiont nutrient strategies across biomes. This pattern is central to our understanding of …

Nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbioses (RNS) occur in two major forms—Actinorhiza and
legume-rhizobium symbiosis—which differ in bacterial partner, intracellular infection pattern …

The most widely distributed pine species in the world, the conifer Pinus sylvestris (Scots
pine) can be found all the way across Eurasia. The huge pine forests of Siberia are the …

Root nodule symbiosis (RNS) is a complex trait that enables plants to access atmospheric
nitrogen converted into usable forms through a mutualistic relationship with soil bacteria …

For the prediction of permafrost nitrogen (N) climate feedbacks, a better process-based
understanding of the N cycle in permafrost ecosystems is urgently needed. Therefore, we …

In the late 19 th century, it was discovered that legumes can establish a root nodule
endosymbiosis with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia. Soon after, the question was raised whether it is …

Nitrogen and phosphorus availability are frequent limiting factors in plant growth and
development. Certain bacteria and fungi form root endosymbiotic relationships with plants …

Abstract In the Northern and Baltic countries, grey alder is a prospective tree species for
short-rotation forestry. Hence, knowledge about the functioning of such forest ecosystems is …
