Endophytic N2 fixation in sweet potato: responses to N, P, and K inputs and visualization of 15N2 utilizing bacterial cells via Raman spectroscopy
Fertilizer-N strongly limits non-leguminous crop yields; however, sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas ) is an exception, likely due to its ability to...

Nitrogen but not phosphorus addition affects symbiotic N2 fixation by legumes in natural and semi-natural grasslands located on four continents
Background and aimsThe amount of nitrogen (N) derived from symbiotic N 2 fixation by legumes in grasslands might be affected by anthropogenic N and...
-
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation strategies relate to phenotypic plasticity but not invasion risk
Many invasive plant species are symbiotic N-fixers that can have strong impacts on ecosystem processes. Nitrogen-fixing plants use a diversity of...
-
Phosphorus Nutrition Enhancement of Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Pastures
Nitrogen (N) is the most limiting plant nutrient in agroecosystems. The increasing use of N-containing fertilizers increases greenhouse gas emissions...

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation does not stimulate soil phosphatase activity under temperate and tropical trees
Symbiotic nitrogen (N)-fixing plants can enrich ecosystems with N, which can alter the cycling and demand for other nutrients. Researchers have...
-
Biological nitrogen fixation in young and old tropical forests under five contrasting edaphoclimatic conditions
Young tropical forests have higher relative plant densities of potentially nodulating Leguminosae species than old forests, but comparisons of their...
