Responses of forest ecosystems in Europe to decreasing nitrogen deposition
Average nitrogen (N) deposition across Europe has declined since the 1990s. This resulted
in decreased N inputs to forest ecosystems especially in Central and Western Europe where …

Dynamic carbon-nitrogen coupling under global change
Carbon-nitrogen coupling is a fundamental principle in ecosystem ecology. However, how
the coupling responds to global change has not yet been examined. Through a …

Impacts of global change on Mediterranean forests and their services
The increase in aridity, mainly by decreases in precipitation but also by higher temperatures,
is likely the main threat to the diversity and survival of Mediterranean forests. Changes in …

Empirical support for the biogeochemical niche hypothesis in forest trees
The possibility of using the elemental compositions of species as a tool to identify
species/genotype niche remains to be tested at a global scale. We investigated relationships …
