N fertilization affects on soil respiration, microbial biomass and root respiration in Larix gmelinii and Fraxinus mandshurica plantations in China (2010, unknown): “N fertilization reduced the average soil microbial biomass by 35%–40% in three Norway spruce forests under different climatic and N availability conditions in Sweden (Demoling et al. 2008); Soil microbial biomass C and N (the means of four sample collections) in fertilized plots were lower 34% and 3”
The impact of elevated CO2, increased nitrogen availability and biodiversity on plant tissue quality and decomposition (2007, background): “…to describe both the stoichiometry and specific chemistry of C- and Ncontaining compounds), however, can change in response to resource availability, such as N fertilization (Koricheva et al., 1998; Fisk & Fahey, 2001) and elevated CO2 (Franck et al., 1997; Gahrooee, 1998; Koricheva et al., 1998).”
Chronic nitrogen additions reduce total soil respiration and microbial respiration in temperate forest soils at the Harvard Forest (2004, background): “Decreased respiration is consistent with a number of studies, including those in mixed hardwoods (Bowden et al., 2000; Fisk and Fahey, 2001; Burton et al., 2004), as well as in coniferous forests (Mattson, 1995; Maier and Kress, 2000) Looking at growing season months only, respiration was reduced…”
Using experimental manipulation to assess the roles of leaf litter in the functioning of forest ecosystems (2005, background): “In a temperate deciduous forest, SIR in the organic horizon declined by 17% over nine years when litter was removed every other year (Fisk & Fahey, 2001).”
Microbial community utilization of added carbon substrates in response to long-term carbon input manipulation (2006, background): “…is a function of net primary production, plant carbon (C) allocation, rhizosphere activity, and litter substrate quality (Smith and Paul, 1990; Fisk and Fahey, 2001; Myers et al., 2001), and is controlled through complex interactions with plants (Zak et al., 2000; Bohlen et al., 2001; Butler…”
Tamm Review: On the nature of the nitrogen limitation to plant growth in Fennoscandian boreal forests (2017, background): “…Kielland, 1994) and measurements of gross (actual) N mineralization (see below) and gross nitrification rates (e.g., Davidson et al., 1991, 1992; Binkley et al., 1992a; Hart et al., 1994; Stark and Hart, 1997; Fisk and Fahey, 2001; Merilä et al., 2002; Stark et al., 2003; Högberg et al., 2006).”
