Landscape water velocities drive divergent evolution of nitrogen cycling in global ecosystems
By
Doerthe Tetzlaff
Summary
This scientific article examines how nitrogen cycling evolves differently across landscapes based on water velocity gradients. It argues that increasing fertilizer use has pushed the nitrogen cycle beyond planetary boundaries, and that existing nitrogen models have long neglected the role of landscape water velocities in determining nitrogen fate. The paper presents research on divergent evolution of nitrogen cycling along these velocity gradients, with implications for understanding and managing global nitrogen pollution.
