Research
Nitrogen is widely considered the most limiting resource in boreal forests. For more than two decades, research has primarily focused on a single nitrogen-fixing niche: mosses. However, new evidence indicates that moss-associated nitrogen-fixing bacteria only contribute a small fraction of the nitrogen that accumulates in boreal forests. This suggests that most fixed nitrogen inputs remain unexplained.
I am Kazi Samiul Islam, a doctoral student, investigating the major sources of fixed nitrogen in boreal forests and their response to climate change factors.
