Languishing for many years in the shadow of plant inorganic nitrogen (N) nutrition research,
studies of organic N uptake have attracted increased attention during the last decade. The …

The objective of this review was to identify, address and rank knowledge gaps in our
understanding of five major soil C and N interactions across a range of scales–from …

Land application of farmyard manure (FYM) is a widespread agronomic practice used to
enhance soil fertility, but its long-term effects on soil microbial carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) …

Physiological ecology of forest production was originally planned as a second edition to the
well-known book by the same name, published 25 years ago ( Landsberg 1986). The …

Understorey vegetation comprises the majority of species diversity and contributes greatly to
ecosystem functioning in boreal forests. Although patterns of understorey abundance …

Various amino acids, including both L‐and D‐enantiomers, may be present in soils, and
recent studies have indicated that plants may access such nitrogen (N) forms. Here, the …

There are concerns about the effect of increasing resource extraction and other human
activities on the soils and vegetation of the boreal zone. The review covers published papers …

In this paper we provide support for the hypothesis that trees and fungi modify their physical
environment in acidic forest soils by actively translocating metal cations from the mineral to …

Interactions between Norway spruce trees and bacteria and fungi in nutrient limited boreal
forests can be beneficial for tree growth and fitness. Tree-level effects of anthropogenic …
