Human Domination of Earth's Ecosystems
- P. Vitousek, H. Mooney, J. Lubchenco, J. Melillo
- Environmental Science
- 25 July 1997
Human alteration of Earth is substantial and growing. Between one-third and one-half of the land surface has been transformed by human action; the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere has… Expand
HUMAN ALTERATION OF THE GLOBAL NITROGEN CYCLE: SOURCES AND CONSEQUENCES
- P. Vitousek, J. Aber, +5 authors D. Tilman
- Environmental Science
- 1 August 1997
Nitrogen is a key element controlling the species composition, diversity, dynamics, and functioning of many terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. Many of the original plant species living… Expand
Terrestrial ecosystem production: A process model based on global satellite and surface data
- C. Potter, J. Randerson, +4 authors S. Klooster
- Geology
- 1 December 1993
This paper presents a modeling approach aimed at seasonal resolution of global climatic and edaphic controls on patterns of terrestrial ecosystem production and soil microbial respiration. We use… Expand
Biological invasions by exotic grasses, the grass/fire cycle, and global change
- C. D’Antonio, P. Vitousek
- Biology
- 1 November 1992
Biological invasions into wholly new regions are a consequence of a far reaching but underappreciated component of global environmental change, the human-caused breakdown of biogeographic barriers to… Expand
Significant Acidification in Major Chinese Croplands
- J. Guo, X. Liu, +7 authors F. S. Zhang
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Science
- 19 February 2010
Cropland Acidification in China China is experiencing increasing problems with acid rain, groundwater pollution, and nitrous oxide emissions. Rapid development of industry and transportation has… Expand
Enhanced nitrogen deposition over China
- Xue-Jun Liu, Y. Zhang, +9 authors F. Zhang
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Nature
- 28 February 2013
China is experiencing intense air pollution caused in large part by anthropogenic emissions of reactive nitrogen. These emissions result in the deposition of atmospheric nitrogen (N) in terrestrial… Expand
Consequences of changing biodiversity
- F. Chapin, E. Zavaleta, +9 authors S. Díaz
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Nature
- 11 May 2000
Human alteration of the global environment has triggered the sixth major extinction event in the history of life and caused widespread changes in the global distribution of organisms. These changes… Expand
Terrestrial phosphorus limitation: mechanisms, implications, and nitrogen-phosphorus interactions.
- P. Vitousek, S. Porder, B. Houlton, O. Chadwick
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Ecological applications : a publication of the…
- 2010
Nutrient limitation to primary productivity and other biological processes is widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, and nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the most common limiting elements, both… Expand
Nutrient Cycling and Nutrient Use Efficiency
- P. Vitousek
- Biology
- The American Naturalist
- 1 April 1982
Forest ecosystems systematically produce more litterfall dry mass per unit of nitrogen in sites with less aboveground nitrogen circulation. This pattern is observed both within and among tropical,… Expand
Litterfall, Nutrient Cycling, and Nutrient Limitation in Tropical Forests
- P. Vitousek
- Biology
- 1 February 1984
Patterns of nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium cycling through litterfall were evaluated using published information from 62 tropical forests. In general, lowland tropical forests have more nitrogen… Expand
