Because the growth of most terrestrial vegetation is constrained by a shortage of nitrogen, the additional nitrogen supply, along with its redistribution, has likely increased plant growth and thus the quantity of organic carbon stored in terrestrial ecosystems (Vitousek et al.
La croissance de la plus grande partie de la vÃ©gÃ©tation terrestre Ã©tant limitÃ©e par un dÃ©ficit en azote, lâ€™augmentation de la disponibilitÃ© de lâ€™azote, ainsi que sa redistribution, ont probablement favorisÃ© la croissance des vÃ©gÃ©taux et, ainsi, la quantitÃ© de carbone organique accumulÃ©e dans les Ã©cosystÃ¨mes terrestres (Vitousek et al., 1997a).
