Interactive effects of anthropogenic nitrogen enrichment and climate change on terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity (2013, background): “Growth may increase substantially in response to N enrichment as forage quality increases with higher N concentrations in plants, lower concentrations of defensive compounds, and shifts to higher dominance of more palatable species (Throop and Lerdau 2004).”
Recent advances in ecological stoichiometry: insights for population and community ecology (2005, background): “…C:N ratios has been a mainstay of the terrestrial herbivory and decomposition literature (Mattson 1980, Enriquez et al. 1993, Hobbie 2000), the influence of stoichiometry on population and community dynamics of terrestrial animals, in particular, has rarely been considered (Throop and Lerdau 2004).”
Effects of experimental nitrogen additions on plant diversity in an old‐growth tropical forest (2010, background): “…N deposition is a potentially serious threat to biodiversity of many groups of organisms, including diversity of plants (Strengbom et al., 2002; Nordin et al., 2006; Clark & Tilman, 2008), microorganisms (Frey et al., 2004; Carfrae et al., 2006) and animals (Throop & Lerdau, 2004; Xu et al., 2006).”
Atmospheric nitrogen deposition in terrestrial ecosystems: Its impact on plant communities and consequences across trophic levels (2018, background): “In a review of 25 N addition studies 3 Throop and Lerdau (2004) found that foliar N concentration increased in all but one case.”
Plant structural traits and their role in anti-herbivore defence (2007, background): “Although nitrogen addition is one obvious way in which increased resource availability can influence plant defence (Throop and Lerdau, 2004), elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (eCO2) is also likely to be important.”
Nitrogen as a threat to European terrestrial biodiversity - Chapter 20 (2011, background): “Th ere is, however, some evidence of impacts of N deposition on fauna through changes in food and environmental conditions (including micro-climate), and through the vegetation structure and landscape heterogeneity needed by animal species to complete their life cycles (Th roop and Lerdau, 2004 ).”
