Global change effects on humid tropical forests: Evidence for biogeochemical and biodiversity shifts at an ecosystem scale (2016, result): “…FORESTS AND GLOBAL CHANGE 57 respectively) had higher proportions of native N-fixing trees in the canopy (91% and 88%, respectively), compared to older secondary forests (>25 years old, 57% N fixers), with native N fixers playing a central role in restoring soil N levels [Gehring et al., 2005].”
Controls Over Leaf Litter and Soil Nitrogen Fixation in Two Lowland Tropical Rain Forests (2007, background): “However, actual data assessing rates of N fixation in tropical rain forests are rare, and more recent studies suggest that N fixation by leguminous trees may not be as widespread in mature tropical rain forests as previously believed (Gehring et al. 2005).”
