Global change pressures on soils from land use and management (2016, background): “, 2007) and cause changes in plant species and diversity (Bobbink et al., 2010), which in turn will alter the amount and quality of litter inputs in to soils, notably the C:N ratio and soil-root interactions (RoTAP, 2012).”
The roles of environmental filtering and colonization in the fine‐scale spatial patterning of ground‐layer plant communities in north temperate deciduous forests (2011, background): “Thus, reduction of heterogeneity in O-horizon and soil properties through the simplification of overstorey composition and structure coupled with nitrogen deposition could result in corresponding homogeneity in ground-layer plant communities (Gilliam 2006; Bobbink et al. 2010).”
Effects of experimental nitrogen additions on plant diversity in an old‐growth tropical forest (2010, background): “, disease and herbivory), and species invasions (Gilliam, 2006; Bobbink et al., 2010).”
Rate-specific responses of prokaryotic diversity and structure to nitrogen deposition in the Leymus chinensis steppe (2014, background): “The background N deposition rate in the Inner Mongolia steppe is less than 0.3 g N m 2 yr 1 (Bobbink et al., 2010; Lan and Bai, 2012).”
Driving factors behind the eutrophication signal in understorey plant communities of deciduous temperate forests (2012, background): “Yet, the effects of experimental N additions on forest understoreys seem less consistent compared with N additions in grassland (Gilliam 2006; Bobbink et al. 2010; De Schrijver et al. 2011).”
Interactive effects of anthropogenic nitrogen enrichment and climate change on terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity (2013, background): “Generally, experimental N additions to grasslands result in substantial reductions in species diversity and greater losses in areas that are not also limited by other resources such as water (Bobbink 1998; Clark et al. 2007; Bobbink et al. 2010).”
Global, regional and national trends of atmospheric ammonia derived from a decadal (2008–2018) satellite record (2020, background): “Once emitted, a large part of NH3 is rapidly deposited on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, resulting in adverse acidifying and eutrophying effects [13, 14].”
Does phosphorus limitation promote species-rich plant communities? (2011, neutral): “et al. 2010; Bobbink et al. 2010; Clark et al. 2007; Stevens et al. 2010; Suding et al. 2005).”
Global evidence on nitrogen saturation of terrestrial ecosystem net primary productivity (2016, background): “…1–5 g m−2 yr−1 can induce soil NO3 - leaching and increasing nitrification in terrestrial ecosystems of Europe andNorthAmerican (Bobbink&Roelofs 1995, Bobbink et al 2010, Pardo et al 2011) and N addition causes soil acidification at 5 g m−2 yr−1 on average across all the terrestrial ecosystems…”
A review and application of the evidence for nitrogen impacts on ecosystem services (2014, background): “The study focuses on biodiversity in terrestrial habitats, using nitrogen critical load exceedance (a damage threshold) as a proxy for habitat damage caused by N deposition (Bobbink et al., 2010).”
Patterns and mechanisms of responses by soil microbial communities to nitrogen addition (2017, background): “Although the N deposition rate of 10 kg N ha 1 year 1 was regarded as the critical threshold (Dentener et al., 2006; Bobbink et al., 2010), simulated N deposition experiments generally applied very high N addition rates (LeBauer and Treseder, 2008; Xia and Wan, 2008; Janssens et al.”
