Fire-derived phosphorus fertilization of African tropical forests

M. Bauters, T. W. Drake, et al.

This groundbreaking research highlights how biomass burning significantly increases phosphorus deposition in central African tropical forests, revealing that older secondary forests benefit more from complex canopies. The study, conducted by Marijn Bauters, Travis W. Drake, Sasha Wagner, Simon Baumgartner, Isaac A. Makelele, Samuel Bodé, Kris Verheyen, Hans Verbeeck, Corneille Ewango, Landry Cizungu, Kristof Van Oost, and Pascal Boeckx, underscores the crucial role of canopy trapping as a vital nutrient input pathway.... show more
