Nitrogen cycling in tropical dry forests is sensitive to changes in rainfall regime and nitrogen deposition
The impacts of changes in rainfall regimes and atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on the biogeochemical cycles of tropical dry forests (TDF) remain...

Water column contributions to the metabolism and nutrient dynamics of mid-sized rivers
Lotic and lentic ecosystems are traditionally viewed as dominated by either benthic or water column processes. However, mid-sized rivers represent a...

Nanozyme-mediated elemental biogeochemical cycling and environmental effects
In Earth systems, thousands of terragrams (Tg) (1 Tg = 10 12 g) of mineral nanoparticles move around annually. Some mineral nanoparticles have...

Soil C:N:P stoichiometric signatures of grasslands differ between tropical and warm temperate climatic zones
Climate and land management affect nutrient cycling in grassland ecosystems. We aimed to understand whether temperate and tropical grasslands differ...

Long-term nitrogen fertilization impacts plant-microbial interactions differently in arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal trees
Enhanced nitrogen (N) availability in temperate forests has altered ecosystem carbon (C) and N cycling. Recent research has shown that these...

Dynamics of trace elements during litter decomposition in a temperate forest as a function of elevation and canopy coverage
Litter plays a key role in maintaining the nutrient cycle of the forest ecosystem. The dynamics of litter trace elements (TEs) can influence litter...

A review: iron and nutrient supply in the subarctic Pacific and its impact on phytoplankton production
One of the most important breakthroughs in oceanography in the last 30 years was the discovery that iron (Fe) controls biological production as a...

Moss removal facilitates decomposition and net nitrogen loss of monospecific and mixed-species litter in a boreal peatland
Litter decomposition plays an important role in biogeochemical cycling in boreal peatlands, where mosses, especially Sphagnum species, are a...

Atmospheric deposition of elements and its relevance for nutrient budgets of tropical forests
Atmospheric deposition is an important component of the nutrient cycles of terrestrial ecosystems, but field measurements are especially scarce in...

Some thoughts on the biogeochemical cycling of potassium in terrestrial ecosystems
Potassium presents a conundrum for biogeochemists. Potassium is cycled wastefully at the plant level, but it appears to be conserved in the nutrient...

River dam impacts on biogeochemical cycling
The increased use of hydropower is currently driving the greatest surge in global dam construction since the mid-20th century, meaning that most...

Iron cycling in Arctic methane seeps
Anoxic marine sediments contribute a significant amount of dissolved iron (Fe 2+ ) to the ocean which is crucial for the global carbon cycle. Here, we...

Chesapeake Bay acidification buffered by spatially decoupled carbonate mineral cycling
Uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the atmosphere has acidified the ocean and threatened the health of marine organisms and their...
