Non-symbiotic N2 fixation is less sensitive to changes in temperature than carbon mineralization in Northern forest soils by Eduardo Vázquez, Marie Spohn

“…Furthermore, our results show that C mineralization is more sensitive to changes in incubation temperature (it increased by a factor of 2.2 from 5 to 12 °C as well as from 12 to 20 °C) than non-symbiotic N2 fixation that was not significantly affected by incubation temperature. Taken together, while N2 fixation responded little to changes in incubation temperature, our results suggest that the higher N2 fixation rate per area at sites with higher MAT is beneficial for primary production and organic matter inputs to soil leading to larger organic layer stocks. …”
