Nitrogen deposition favors later leaf senescence in woody species by Jian Wang, Xiaoyue Wang, Josep Peñuelas, Hao Hua, Chaoyang Wu

“…Changes in climate conditions and nitrogen deposition levels jointly controlled the direction of date of foliar senescence trends (advance or delay). The spatial variability of nitrogen deposition effects can be related to plant traits (e.g., nitrogen resorption and use efficiencies), climatic conditions, and soil properties. …”
