New Advances on Negative Responses to Long-term N Deposition Made

In 0-15 cm soil layer,it showed a clear tendency of reduction of Collembola community in N-treated plots than in control plots. For example,the density of Isotomiella minor was reduced significantly by 80% in N-treated plots(17 000 ind m-3)in 0-5 cm soil layer compared with control plots(85 600 ind m-3).It was also found that Shannon-Wiener inde... Elevated nitrogen (N) deposition, one of the most important problems on global changes, has shown to have a variety of effects on terrestrial systems in temperate Europe and North American. Currently, many results about the reactions of ecosystem to N deposition, including biodiversity, primary productivity, nutrient cycling, N transformation an...
