Chronic nitrogen additions reduce total soil respiration and microbial respiration in temperate forest soils at the Harvard Forest

Bowden, Richard D.; Davidson, Eric A.; Savage, Kathleen E.; Arabia, Chris; Steudler, Paul (Elsevier, 2004)

At the Harvard Forest Long-term Ecological Research Site Chronic Nitrogen Amendment Study, a red pine and a mixed deciduous stand showed immediate changes in soil respiration following nitrogen additions (low N: 5 g N m−2 ...
Long-term nitrogen addition suppresses microbial degradation, enhances soil carbon storage, and alters the molecular composition of soil organic matter

Wang, Jun-Jian; Bowden, Richard D.; Lajtha, Kate; Washko, Susan E.; Wurzbacher, Sarah; Myrna, Simpson (Springer Verlag, 2019-01-01)

Forest soil organic carbon (SOC) is one of the largest reservoirs of terrestrial carbon (C) and is a major component of the global C cycle. Yet there is still uncertainty regarding how ecosystems, and the SOC they store, ...
