Future nitrogen availability and its effect on carbon sequestration in Northern Eurasia.
Nitrogen (N) availability exerts strong control on carbon storage in the forests of Northern Eurasia. Here, using a process-based model, we explore how three factors that alter N availability-permafrost degradation, atmospheric N deposition, and the abandonment of agricultural land to forest regrowt...

Nitrogen (N) availability exerts strong control on carbon storage in the forests of Northern Eurasia.
