Article Synopsis
- Atmospheric nitrogen deposition often exceeds safe limits in Mediterranean Holm oak forests, with uncertainties about how well these forests can retain and utilize this nitrogen.
- A year-long experiment using labeled ammonium and nitrate assessed how effectively Holm oak leaves absorb different forms of nitrogen and how this absorption varies with leaf age and seasonal weather conditions.
- Results indicated that leaves absorb nitrogen more efficiently at lower concentrations, with the highest absorption in young leaves during cooler seasons, suggesting that environmental factors significantly influence nitrogen uptake.
