The influence of soil properties and nutrients on conifer forest growth in Sweden, and the first steps in developing a nutrient availability metric Universiteit Antwerpen
The availability of nutrients is one of the factors that regulate terrestrial carbon cycling and modify ecosystem responses to environmental changes. Nonetheless, nutrient availability is often overlooked in climatecarbon cycle studies because it depends on the interplay of various soil factors that would ideally be comprised into metrics applicable at large spatial scales. Such metrics do not currently exist. Here, we use a Swedish forest ...
