Article
Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition has increased N availability in forests close to human settlements, potentially causing N-limited forests to become N saturated, and influencing forest productivity and future climate. However, the global patterns of N-saturated forests have remained unclear, hindering effective N management. In N-saturated for...

Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas. Anthropogenically enhanced nitrogen deposition causes natural forest soils to release more nitrous oxide, exacerbating global warming. We used data from nitrogen addition experiments conducted in forests worldwide to quantify the spatially varying sensitivity of soil nitrous oxide emission to nitrogen depos...

Methane (CH4) is the second most important atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) and forest soils are a significant sink for atmospheric CH4. Uptake of CH4 by global forest soils is affected by nitrogen (N) deposition; clarifying the effect of N deposition helps to reduce uncertainties of the global CH4 budget. However, it remains an unsolved puzzle why...
Article
Full-text available
A recent publication (Mason et al. in Science 376:261, 2022a) suggested that nitrogen (N) availability has declined as a consequence of multiple ongoing components of anthropogenic global change. This suggestion is controversial, because human alteration of the global N cycle is substantial and has driven much-increased fixation of N globally. We u...

Since the industrial revolution, accelerated atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition by human activities have increased N availability in forest ecosystems close to human settlements, potentially causing many nitrogen-limited forests to become nitrogen-saturated, with significant effects on productivity, biodiversity, and biogeochemical cycles. Four de...

Potassium is essential for plant growth. However, our understanding of potassium in plant materials is limited due to a lack of systematic studies. Here, we measured potassium content in 2,040 ecosystem communities during the period 2019-2021 applying grid-sampling and explored the spatial patterns and drivers of potassium density in the Tibetan Pl...

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an influential greenhouse gas (GHG) and an unregulated ozone‐depleting substance. The extent to which N2O emissions from natural forest soils have been enhanced by high atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition in China during past decades is unclear; however, assessing land‐related N2O emissions for 2060 national “carbon neutralit...

Forestation is important for sequestering atmospheric carbon, and it is a cost-effective and nature-based solution (NBS) for mitigating global climate change. Here, under the assumption of forestation in the potential plantable lands, we used the forest carbon sequestration (FCS) model and field survey involving 3365 forest plots to assess the carb...
Article
Full-text available
Non‐native species have invaded most parts of the world, and the invasion process is expected to continue and accelerate. Because many invading non‐native species are likely to become permanent inhabitants, future consideration of species‐area relationships (SARs) should account for non‐native species, either separately or jointly with native speci...
