As nitrogen input increases, leaf nitrogen concentration increases at first and then decreases at high levels of nitrogen input. Responses: - leaf nitrogen concentration - nitrification - net primary productivity - leaching of NO3−

Step 1
Step 1: As nitrogen input increases, plants initially take up more nitrogen, leading to an increase in leaf nitrogen concentration. Show more…

Excess nitrogen added into the nitrogen cycle by human-produced fertilizers causes: Select one: a. high concentrations of nitrogen only in fertilized areas. b. maintenance of soil pH. c. overpopulation of fish in lakes and rivers. d. poisoning of algae populations in lakes. e. eventual oxygen depletion in nearby water systems.

Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) is equal to: Respiration + NPP The component of energy absorbed by plant leaves and then re-emitted as heat Net primary productivity (NPP) - respiration The ratio of NPP to net secondary productivity
