Global analysis suggests nitrogen deposition as an underestimated driver of vegetation greening

Ecography, EarlyView.
The local effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition on plants are well established, yet a global empirical analysis of nitrogen deposition effects on vegetation dynamics is missing. Here, we assess how nitrogen deposition, alongside other global change drivers such as fire, and changes in temperature, precipitation and human land use, is related to ...
