Warming depletes topsoil nitrogen stocks in a Tibetan permafrost ecosystem
A decade-long field experiment reveals that topsoil nitrogen stocks in a permafrost ecosystem decreased by 7.7% following eight years of warming. This reduction could be largely attributed to increased nitrogen retention by perennial plant biomass, and increased nitrogen losses through leaching and gaseous emissions from soils.
