The impact on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycles of human activity is a growing
concern and has several causes and consequences (MacDonald et al., 2011; Peñuelas et …

A significant increase in reactive nitrogen (N) added to terrestrial ecosystems through
agricultural fertilization or atmospheric deposition is considered to be one of the most …

The deposition of anthropogenically fixed nitrogen (N) from the atmosphere onto land and
plant surfaces has strong influences on terrestrial ecosystem processes. Although recent …

In this study we investigate the impact of nitrogen (N) deposition on the diversity of three
different vegetation functional groups–forbs, grasses and mosses–using a field survey of …

Summary 1 In many ombrotrophic bog areas the invasion of grass (eg Molinia caerulea) and
tree (eg Betula pubescens) species has become a major problem. We investigated whether …

Alpine areas are important biodiversity reservoirs, but are subject to anthropogenic drivers
including climate change, nitrogen deposition and changing land use. Alpine vegetation has …

Questions Is there evidence for biotic homogenization of upland vegetation? Do the
magnitude and nature of floristic and compositional change vary between vegetation types …

A survey of 153 acid grasslands from the Atlantic biogeographic region of Europe indicates
that chronic nitrogen deposition is changing plant species composition and soil and plant …

The biomass production of wetland vegetation can be limited by nitrogen or phosphorus.
Some species are most abundant in N-limited vegetation, and others in P-limited vegetation …

Summary 1 The 20th century has witnessed substantial increases in the intensity of
agricultural land management, much of which has been driven by policies to enhance food …
