Molybdenum and Phosphorus Interact to Constrain Asymbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Tropical Forests

Biological di-nitrogen fixation (N(2)) is the dominant natural source of new nitrogen to land ecosystems. Phosphorus (P) is thought to limit N(2) fixation in many tropical soils, yet both molybdenum (Mo) and P are crucial for the nitrogenase reaction (which catalyzes N(2) conversion to ammonia) and...
