Density-dependent and independent mechanisms jointly reduce species performance under nitrogen enrichment [PDF]
, 2023 Nitrogen (N) deposition is a primary driver of species loss in plant communities globally. However, the mechanisms by which high N availability causes species loss remain unclear. Many hypotheses for species loss with increasing N availability highlight density-dependent mechanisms, i.e., changes in species interactions.
