Bryophytes can play an important role in key ecosystem processes and represent potential
candidates as bioindicators for environmental monitoring programmes. Nitrate (NO 3−) …

Interactions between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles in terrestrial ecosystems are
simulated in advanced vegetation models, yet methodologies vary widely, leading to …

Free-living nitrogen fixation (FLNF) is a vital source of nitrogen for the initiation and
development of ecosystems on bare lands. This process is catalyzed by the enzyme …

Root activity creates a unique microbial hotspot in the rhizosphere, profoundly regulating
free-living nitrogen fixation (FLNF). However, empirical assessments of rhizosphere FLNF …

Wildfires strongly influence forest ecosystem processes, including carbon and nutrient
cycling, and vegetation dynamics. As fire activity increases under changing climate …

Tropical montane cloud forests are high altitude ecosystems characterized by very high
ambient humidity, which favors organisms that depend on the environment for their water …

The critical role of nitrogen (N) in sustaining the vitality of mangrove wetlands is widely
recognized, yet research elucidating complex microbiome structures and functional genes …

The traditional view holds that the global distribution of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in
terrestrial ecosystems is primarily affected by climate, associating certain warm, wet low …

Associative N2 fixation (ANF) is widespread but poorly characterized, limiting our ability to
estimate global inputs from N2 fixation. In some places, ANF rates are at or below detection …

Large mammalian herbivores substantially impact ecosystem functioning. As their
populations are dramatically altered globally, disentangling their consumptive and non …
