Tropical Andean Forests Are Highly Susceptible to Nutrient Inputs-Rapid Effects of Experimental N and P Addition to an Ecuadorian Montane Forest

Tropical regions are facing increasing atmospheric inputs of nutrients, which will have unknown consequences for the structure and functioning of these systems. Here, we show that Neotropical montane rainforests respond rapidly to moderate additions of N (50 kg ha -1 yr -1) and P (10 kg ha -1 yr -1)...
