Soil diazotrophs sustain nitrogen fixation under high nitrogen enrichment via adjustment of community composition

M Zheng, M Xu, J Zhang, Z Liu, J Mo - Msystems, 2024 - journals.asm.org
Biological nitrogen (N) fixation, an important pathway of N, inputs from the atmosphere to
Earth's ecosystems, is well demonstrated to decline under N input. However, it remains …

Nitrogen fixation associated with two cohabiting moss species expresses different patterns under Cu and Zn contamination

TD Sjøgren, Y Wang, K Rousk - Environmental Science and Pollution …, 2023 - Springer
Nitrogen (N2) fixation by moss-associated cyanobacteria is an important N source in pristine
ecosystems. Previous studies have shown that moss-associated N2 fixation is sensitive to …

High nitrogen‐fixing rates associated with ground‐covering mosses in a tropical mountain cloud forest will decrease drastically in a future climate

A Permin, AB Horwath, DB Metcalfe… - Functional …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Tropical mountain cloud forests (TMCF) harbour a high bryophyte (mosses and liverworts)
biomass and diversity. Furthermore, the high air humidity makes these forests well suited for …

Rapid response of moss-associated nitrogen fixation to nutrient additions in tropical montane cloud forests with different successional stages

LA Clasen, DO Alvarenga, Y Wang, RF Andersen… - Biogeochemistry, 2025 - Springer
Nitrogen (N) fixation in association with mosses could be a key source of new N in tropical
montane cloud forests since these forests maintain high humidity levels and stable …

Do nitrogen and phosphorus additions affect nitrogen fixation associated with tropical mosses?

L Avila Clasen, A Permin, AB Horwath, DB Metcalfe… - Plants, 2023 - mdpi.com
