• Driving factors behind the eutrophication signal in understorey plant communities of deciduous temperate forests (2012, background): “Some experimental N addition studies also found positive (Hurteau & North 2008) or mixed (Ostertag & Verville 2002) effects on understorey species richness, whereas others found negative effects (Strengbom et al. 2001).”
• N : P ratios in terrestrial plants: variation and functional significance. (2004, background): “…the Northern hemisphere (Gough et al., 2000) and negative effects on the diversity of the forest understory have also been reported regularly (Strengbom et al., 2001), as well as reduced species diversity as a result of increased atmospheric N deposition (Bobbink & Lamers, 2002;…”
• Light, not nitrogen, limits growth of the grass Deschampsia flexuosa in boreal forests (2004, background): “Strengbom et al. (2002) found that although defoliation by the fungus was the most important factor for the expansion of D.”
• Climate change feedbacks to microbial decomposition in boreal soils (2011, background): “Certain nitrophilic taxa of mycorrhizas may persist under high N conditions (Boxman et al. 1998; Strengbom et al. 2001; Lilleskov et al. 2002), but overall abundance declines, possibly due to reductions in belowground C allocation by host plants (H€ogberg et al. 2003; Allison et al. 2008).”
• Plant responses to fertilization and exclusion of grazers on an arctic tundra heath (2002, background): “N-limited boreal coniferous forest ecosystems showed fertilization effects as long as 48 years after fertilization terminated (Strengbom et al. 2001).”
• Co-limitation of plant primary productivity by nitrogen and phosphorus in a species-rich wooded meadow on calcareous soils (2005, background): “…effect of enhanced vascular plant biomass on moss productivity is consistent with previous observations (Brown, 1982; Ingerpuu et al., 1998; Strengbom et al., 2001), and can be explained by more severe light competition at the bottom of dense vascular plant canopies as well as by fewer…”
• Effects of experimental nitrogen additions on plant diversity in an old‐growth tropical forest (2010, background): “…that N additions decreased understory plant diversity of an old-growth tropical forest, especially at the highest level of N additions, a result consistent with many reported for temperate and boreal forests (Hurd et al., 1998; Rainey et al., 1999; Strengbom et al., 2002; Gilliam, 2006).”
• Microbial activity and soil respiration under nitrogen addition in Alaskan boreal forest (2008, background): “Because N availability is low in many boreal soils, these ecosystems are highly sensitive to N deposition (Kellner & Mårshagen, 1991; Strengbom et al., 2001).”
