A recent study led by Prof. Liu Lingli from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has brought attention to a significant threshold in ecosystem nitrogen retention.
Published in Nature Geoscience, the research identifies a mean annual precipitation level of approximately 700 mm as critical for maintaining nitrogen levels in ecosystems.
This finding underscores the importance of understanding rainfall patterns in the context of climate change and their impact on ecosystem health.
