Ecologgers: Is anyone aware of studies documenting community changes in North American plant communities as a result of atmospheric nitrogen deposition? I am familiar with the European literature, but haven't seen similar conclusions (e.g. decreased diversity, increased abundance of grass species) in North America. I have heard anecdotal observations that Deschampsia abundance may be increasing in forests in such high-deposition areas as the Hudson River Valley or Mt. Mitchell, NC. Anyone else noticed the same thing, or tried to quantify this? Thanks! Jeff Corbin University of North Carolina ======================================== Jeffrey D.
