Responses of key understory plants in the boreal forests of western North America to natural versus anthropogenic nitrogen levels

2017-10-01

Abstract excerpt

The understory plants of the boreal forests have evolved divergent strategies to succeed under low nitrogen conditions, with their ability to respond to nitrogen addition varying greatly. We examined the response of 5 key understory North American boreal forest species in the Yukon (4 shrubs and a herb) to low levels of nitrogen that could occur from natural pulses and to high levels that could occur because of an...
