Abstract
⺠Urban versus remote tropical forest soils had suppressed ammonium:nitrate ratios. ⺠Nitrogen was enriched relative to carbon in urban versus remote forest soils. ⺠Soil enzyme activities were significantly lower in urban versus remote forests. ⺠Nitrogen levels were the strongest predictors of decomposition enzyme activities. ⺠These results suggest a strong urban influence on soil nitrogen and carbon cycling.
