• Fluxes of dissolved organic and inorganic nitrogen in relation to stand characteristics and latitude in Scots pine and Norway spruce stands in Finland (2008, background): “However, excessive N deposition may lead to the detrimental situation of N saturation, in which the excess N is leached from forest ecosystems with serious consequences for surface and ground water quality (Aber et al. 1989, Matson et al. 2002).”
• Nutrient conservation strategies in native Andean-Patagonian forests (2003, background): “N is considered more limiting than P in most temperate and boreal forests, although changes of this pattern are currently suggested in the Northern Hemisphere as a consequence of anthropogenic N-deposition (Perry 1994; Waring & Running 1998; Fisher & Binkley 2000; Matson et al. 2002).”
• Eating Meat: Evolution, Patterns, and Consequences (2002, background): “After their removal from the atmosphere and subsequent bacterial conversion to nitrates, these emissions also contribute to eutrophication and acidification of terrestrial ecosystems (Matson, Lohse, and Hall 2002).”
• Engineering nitrogen use efficiency with alanine aminotransferase (2007, background): “N deposition is also no longer a local problem, with the globalization of N deposition beginning to have significant consequences for terrestrial ecosystems, particularly as these ecosystems become N saturated (Matson et al. 2002).”
• Several components of global change alter nitrifying and denitrifying activities in an annual grassland (2006, positive): “Our general understanding of the response of the N cycle to several aspects of global change has become clearer over the last decade, including responses to increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration (Luo et al. 1999; Zak et al. 2000b), temperature (Rustad et al. 2001), precipitation (Jamieson, Monagh”
• Can less yield more? Is reducing nutrient input into the environment compatible with maintaining crop production? (2004, background): “Nitrogen deposition is also no longer a local problem, with the globalization of nitrogen deposition beginning to have significant consequences for terrestrial ecosystems, particularly as these ecosystems become N saturated [ 9 ].”
