Abstract
Clearly, our results show that it is inappropriate to use plant productivity N response as an indicator for shifts in SOC content in grassland ecosystems. Here, isotopic techniques illustrated why atmospheric N deposition of 14â¯kgâ¯Nâ¯haâ1 yrâ1 is below, and 54â¯kgâ¯Nâ¯haâ1 yrâ1 is above a threshold that tips the balance between new, assimilative gains and respiratory losses towards a net loss of [SOC] for certain soil fractions in the subalpine grassland.
