Is the role of trophic control larger in a stressed ecosystem?

... Earlier, we have shown that a higher average positional keystone index of trophic components leads to less reliable energy flows through a food web (Jordán and Molnár 1999, Jordán et al. 1999). This means that the food supply of higher consumers is more secure if points in the flow network are of si ...

Human impact on the nitrogen cycle



Human impact on the nitrogen cycle is diverse. Agricultural and industrial nitrogen (N) inputs to the environment currently exceed inputs from natural N fixation. As a consequence of anthropogenic inputs, the global nitrogen cycle (Fig. 1) has been significantly altered over the past century. Global atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O) mole fractions have increased from a pre-industrial value of ~270 nmol/mol to ~319 nmol/mol in 2005. Human activities account for over one-third of N2O emissions, most of which are due to the agricultural sector. This article is intended to give a brief review of the history of anthropogenic N inputs, and reported impacts of nitrogen inputs on selected terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
