Ecosystem Recovery from Disturbance Is Constrained by N Cycle Openness, Vegetation-Soil N Distribution, Form of N Losses, and the Balance between Vegetation and Soil-Microbial Processes.

This paper present a framework for assessing biogeochemical recovery of terrestrial ecosystems from disturbance. We identify three recovery phases. In Phase 1, nitrogen is redistributed from soil organic matter to vegetation, but the ecosystem continues to lose nitrogen because the recovering vegetation cannot take up nitrogen as fast as it is released from soil. In Phase 2, the ecosystem begins re-accumulating nitrogen and converges on a quasi-steady state in which vegetation and soil-microbial processes are in balance. In Phase 3, vegetation and soil-microbial processes remain in balance and the ecosystem slowly re-accumulates the remaining nitrogen.

Model
We simplify the representation of ecosystem C and N budgets as much as possible to optimize the heuristic value of our model. The model is complex enough to represent the interactions between C and N and between vegetation and soil-microbial processes that are important to the questions we address, but still simple enough to be broadly illustrative of terrestrial ecosystems and easily implemented and analyzed. See Rastetter, et al. 2020 (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10021-020-00542-3).for complete methods.
