Progressive N limitation of plant response to elevated CO2: a microbiological perspective

PLANT AND SOIL, 289(1-2), 47–58.

By: S. Hu n , C. Tu n, X. Chen n & J. Gruver n

author keywords: Elevated CO2; N limitation for plants and microbes; soil organic matter; N mineralization; mycorrhizae; priming effect; biological N fixation; plant-microbial competition for N; ecosystem N retention
TL;DR: Examination of experimental results that examined elevated CO2 effects on microbial parameters shows that increased C inputs dominate the CO2 impact on microbes, microbial activities and their subsequent controls over ecosystem N dynamics, potentially enhancing microbial N acquisition and ecosystem N retention.

author keywords: aquatic; denitrification; modeling; nitrogen cycle; regional; terrestrial
TL;DR: Most of the approaches described here make predictions by representing the environmental conditions where denitrification is expected to occur, based on conceptualizations of the N cycle and empirical data from field and laboratory investigations of the dominant process controls.
