New development on Nitrogen saturation hypothesis

Nitrogen (N) saturation hypothesis suggest that when an ecosystem reaches N-saturation, continued N input will cause increased N leaching, nitrous oxide (N2O) emission, and N mineralization and nitrification rates. It also suggests that a different element will become the main limiting factor when N saturation has been reached. Although this hyp...
