Nitrogen accumulation, rather than carbon: nitrogen stoichiometric variation, underlies carbon storage during forest succession

Nitrogen accumulation, rather than carbon: nitrogen stoichiometric variation, underlies carbon storage during forest succession

Forest ecosystems play an important role in regulating global temperatures through their capability to take up and store CO _2 from the atmosphere, but the magnitude and sustainability of this carbon ( C ) sink is critically dependent on the availability of nutrients, particularly nitrogen ( N ). Ho...
