| Abstract: | Background The amount of reactive nitrogen deposited on land has doubled globally and become at least five-times higher in Europe, Eastern
United States, and South East Asia since 1860 mostly because of increases in fertilizer production and fossil fuel burning.
Because vegetation growth in the Northern Hemisphere is typically nitrogen-limited, increased nitrogen deposition could have
an attenuating effect on rising atmospheric CO2 by stimulating the vegetation productivity and accumulation of carbon in biomass. |
