Lots to learn from this scrappy little tree 😂

It's quickly growing on me!

Thanks Malin!

Thanks!! We’re currently trying to solve those cliffhangers 😅

Thanks to a great team of co-authors for your patience and contributions during this paper’s journey!

Are there other sources of N fixation? Are trees accessing N from deep mineral soil or bedrock? How will changing climate and wildfire regimes affect these other N sources and N accumulation rates??

But known inputs fell far short of accumulation rates - especially in deciduous and mixed-dominance forests after stand-replacing fires, where 65-94% of the N was unexplained by known N inputs!

We estimated nitrogen accumulation rates in boreal forests across the biome, and compared accumulation rates to known N inputs from N deposition and biological N fixation. If inputs matched accumulation rates, then we would have a balanced N budget.
