Nitrogen in Terrestrial Ecosystems: Questions of Productivity, Vegetational Changes, and Ecosystem Stability (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 19

Nitrogen supply is one of the most important growth-regulating factors in ecosystems. Anthropogenic emissions and other human activities are changing local, regional and global nitrogen cycles. The author discusses how land ecosystems with their organisms, plants, animals and microorganisms are affected by changes in nitrogen supply and how organisms influence nitrogen cycling in natural and polluted ecosystems.
