The effect of carbon dioxide fertilization on forest productivity may ultimately be limited by the rate of nutrient cycling. Contemporary and future disturbances such as climatic warming, N-deposition, deforestation, short rotation sylviculture, fire (both wild and controlled), and the invasion of exotic species all place strains on the integrity of ecosystem nutrient cycling. Global differences in climate, soils, and species make it difficult to extrapolate even a single important study worldwide. Despite advances in the understanding of nutrient cycling and carbon production in forests, many questions remain. The chapters in this volume reflect many contemporary research priorities. The thirteen studies in this volume are arranged in the following subject groups: • N and P resorption from foliage worldwide, along chronosequences and along elevation gradients; • Litter production and decomposition; • N and P stoichiometry as affected by N deposition, geographic gradients, species changes, and ecosystem restoration; • Effects of N and P addition on understory biomass, litter, and soil; • Effects of burning on soil nutrients; • Effects of N addition on soil fauna.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscForestry & related industriesbicsscleaf stoichiometryCyclocarya paliurusgeographic variationsnatural populationsclimate variablesnitrogenphosphorusN:P ratiosoil stoichiometrysoil nutrientnutrient limitationsnatural grasslandnatural forestsoil faunaN additionsoil profilecommunity structurefood resourcespoplar plantationsexperimental nitrogen additionunderstory plant growthplant nutrientnonstructural carbohydratesAlpine treelineNitrogenNon-structural carbohydratesPhosphorusPotassiumRemobilizationStorageUpper limitsnutrient resorptionnitrogen and phosphorousplanted forestsclimate zonesplant functional typesprecipitationgreen leaf nutrientnitrogen depositionN and P colimitationleaf N:P stoichiometrysoil N:P stoichiometryseasonal variationsnutrition resorptionecological stoichiometryplant-soil feedbackstand ageRobinia pseudoacacia L.forestsnutrientsdisturbancemanagementdiversitybiomasssoil propertiesexperimental firesUV-spectroscopy analysisthermal infrared thermometernitrogen and phosphorus additionunderstory plantsstoichiometric ratiolitter decompositionlitter standing crop carbonconversion coefficientclimatic factorsTibetan PlateaushrublandsCunninghamia lanceolatamixture effectnutrient cyclingrhizosphere effectspecies competitionResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesForestry & related industriesQualls Robert Gedt1322911Qualls Robert GothBOOK9910557498503321Nutrient Cycling in Forest Ecosystems3035255UNINA
