Globally, acute increases in anthropogenic emissions of reactive nitrogen (Nr) have led to change of N process in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem. Although excessive Nr deposition …
The Colorado Plateau is located in the interior, dry end of two moisture trajectories coming from opposite directions, which have made this region a target for unusual climate …
Rates of nitrogen (N) deposition have increased in arid and semiarid ecosystems, but few studies have examined the impacts of long‐term N enrichment on ecological processes in …
Rates and impacts of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition are poorly understood in arid land ecosystems where soils are typically low in plant available N. To address this issue, we …
