Nitrogen limitation constrains sustainability of ecosystem response to CO2

Article Abstract:

Enhanced plant biomass accumulation in response to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration could dampen the future rate of increase in CO2 levels and associated climate warming. However, it is unknown whether CO2-induced stimulation of plant growth and biomass accumulation will be sustained or whether limited nitrogen availability constrains greater plant growth in a CO2-enriched world.

Biodiversity and ecosystem stability in a decade-long grassland experiment

Article Abstract:

A long-term experimental field test of the biodiversity and ecosystem stability hypothesis is presented. The results have shown that the reliable, efficient and sustainable supply of some foods, biofuels and ecosystem services can be enhanced by the use of biodiversity.

Plant diversity enhances ecosystem responses to elevated CO2 and nitrogen deposition

Article Abstract:
