Article Synopsis
- Nitrogen from the atmosphere has helped forests in the northeastern USA store more carbon by giving them what they need to grow better.
- A study showed that when trees got extra nitrogen, they used less carbon for roots and more for growing taller, which means more carbon is stored above ground.
- The research found that even though the amount of leaf litter was the same, the soil in fertilized areas held more carbon and nitrogen because the plant litter broke down more slowly.
