Hyperdiverse forests occur in the lowland tropics, whereas the most species‐rich shrublands are found in regions such as south‐western Australia (kwongan) and South Africa (fynbos) …
Chapter 2, building on prior assessments1, provides a global assessment of the observed impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …
Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …
The productivity of rainforests growing on highly weathered tropical soils is expected to be limited by phosphorus availability. Yet, controlled fertilization experiments have been unable …
Phosphorus availability is widely assumed to limit primary productivity in tropical forests,, but support for this paradigm is equivocal. Although biogeochemical theory predicts that …
Soils are a fundamental component of terrestrial ecosystems, and play key roles in biogeochemical cycles and the ecology of microbial, plant and animal communities. Global …
We observed strong positive relationships between soil properties and forest dynamics of growth and mortality across twelve primary lowland tropical forests in a phosphorus-poor …
We present a meta‐analysis of plant responses to fertilization experiments conducted in lowland, species‐rich, tropical forests. We also update a key result and present the first …
Myriad field, laboratory, and modeling studies show that nutrient availability plays a fundamental role in regulating CO 2 exchange between the Earth's biosphere and …
