Effects of long-term nitrogen deposition on phosphorus leaching dynamics in a mature tropical forest
Elevated anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition is suggested to affect ecosystem phosphorus (P) cycling through altered biotic P demand and soil acidification. To date, however, there has been little informatio...

Grain size of surface sediments in Selin Co (central Tibet) linked to water depth and offshore distance
Grain size of lake sediments is often measured in paleolimnological studies, especially investigations of past lake-level changes. The paleohydrologic implications of such measures, however, remain unclear. We...

The Inhibitory Effects of Nitrogen Deposition on Asymbiotic Nitrogen Fixation are Divergent Between a Tropical and a Temperate Forest
Asymbiotic nitrogen (N) fixation (ANF) is an important source of N in pristine forests and is predicted to decrease with N deposition. Previous studies revealing N fixation in response to N deposition have mos...
