Plant functional diversity modulates global environmental change effects on grassland productivity (2018, background): “The decline in species richness with nitrogen enrichment has been attributed to a host of mechanisms, including soil acidification (Lu et al. 2010), exacerbated water limitation due to elevated transpiration (Zavaleta et al.”
Plant community responses to nitrogen addition and increased precipitation: the importance of water availability and species traits (2011, background): “In addition to the biotic competition-based mechanisms for species loss, augmented N can reduce species richness through altering abiotic conditions (Lu et al., 2010), such as soil pH and other resource availability.”
Tropical tree seedling growth responses to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium addition (2012, background): “Tropical forests are severely underrepresented in these meta-analyses with stand-level fertilization experiments limited to just a few locations in the lowland tropics (Mirmanto et al. 1999; Newbery et al. 2002; Campo & Vázquez-Yanes 2004; Davidson et al. 2004; Lu et al. 2010; Wright et al. 2011).”
Global change effects on humid tropical forests: Evidence for biogeochemical and biodiversity shifts at an ecosystem scale (2016, result): “In contrast, in N-rich sites in southern China, N fertilization decreased understory plant species richness by 74% [Lu et al., 2010], which was attributed to increased soil acidity, decreased base cation availability, and Al mobilization.”
