Roots and fungi act as carbon sinks
Roots aren't just for absorbing water. This paper shows that roots and associated fungi in subarctic forests act as carbon sinks.
Nutrition and transport
Increasing nitrogen pollution in China
Nitrogen pollution from emissions and agricultural use in China are rivaling the levels seen in Europe in the 1980s.
Coastal eutrophication driving salt marsh loss
Nutrient enrichment is shown to be a driver for salt marsh loss by decreasing below-ground plant mass and increasing rates of microbial decomposition.
