Nitrogen-fixing trees could exacerbate climate change under elevated nitrogen deposition

The balance between CO2 sequestration by forests and soil N2O emissions is poorly constrained. Here, the authors use a theoretical model to demonstrate that symbiotic N2-fixing trees can either mitigate climate change or exacerbate it relative to non-fixing trees.
