Atmospheric deposition of elements and its relevance for nutrient budgets of tropical forests
L Van Langenhove, LT Verryckt, L Bréchet, EA Courtois… - Biogeochemistry, 2020 - Springer
Atmospheric deposition is an important component of the nutrient cycles of terrestrial
ecosystems, but field measurements are especially scarce in tropical regions. In this study …

Phosphorus scarcity contributes to nitrogen limitation in lowland tropical rainforests
There is increasing evidence to suggest that soil nutrient availability can limit the carbon sink
capacity of forests, a particularly relevant issue considering today's changing climate. This …

Contrasting responses of fine root biomass and traits to large‐scale nitrogen and phosphorus addition in tropical forests in the Guiana shield
Fine roots mediate plant nutrient acquisition and growth. Depending on soil nutrient
availability, plants can regulate fine root biomass and morphological traits to optimise …

Long-term dynamics of soil, tree stem and ecosystem methane fluxes in a riparian forest
Ü Mander, A Krasnova, T Schindler… - Science of the Total …, 2022 - Elsevier
The carbon (C) budgets of riparian forests are sensitive to climatic variability. Therefore,
riparian forests are hot spots of C cycling in landscapes. Only a limited number of studies on …

A severe hurricane increases carbon dioxide and methane fluxes and triples nitrous oxide emissions in a tropical forest
Tropical cyclones (for example, hurricanes, typhoons) are expected to intensify under a
warming climate, with uncertain effects on tropical forests. These ecosystems contribute …

Different “metabolomic niches” of the highly diverse tree species of the French Guiana rainforests
Tropical rainforests harbor a particularly high plant diversity. We hypothesize that potential
causes underlying this high diversity should be linked to distinct overall functionality …

Automatic high-frequency measurements of full soil greenhouse gas fluxes in a tropical forest
Measuring in situ soil fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4), and nitrous oxide (N
2 O) continuously at high frequency requires appropriate technology. We tested the …

Regulation of nitrogen fixation from free-living organisms in soil and leaf litter of two tropical forests of the Guiana shield
Background and aims Biological fixation of atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) is the main pathway
for introducing N into unmanaged ecosystems. While recent estimates suggest that free …

Seasonal changes in soil respiration linked to soil moisture and phosphorus availability along a tropical rainfall gradient
Humid tropical forests contain some of the largest soil carbon (C) stocks on Earth, yet there
is uncertainty about how carbon dioxide (CO 2) fluxes will respond to climate change in this …

Topography-related controls on N2O emission and CH4 uptake in a tropical rainforest catchment
Forest soils in the warm-humid tropics significantly contribute to the regional greenhouse
gas (GHG) budgets. However, spatial heterogeneity of GHG fluxes is often overlooked. Here …
