“…Conforming this, other researcher concluded that soil N content was affected principally by plant species and that successful long-term restoration improved the NF potential [7]. Another study in the western Great Basin, USA, also indicated that the non-fixing shrubs consistently had lower mean N values than the same reference shrub species [32]. These species due to their capacity to fix N are essential components in natural and managed terrestrial ecosystems [13].…”

“…Reported N-fixation rates for S. canadensis and C. velutinus vary widely, likely the result of differing shrub densities, community dynamics, measuring techniques, and other variables [106][107][108][109]. Nonetheless, recent studies have demonstrated that where productivity is limited by N availability, non-N-fixing plants respond positively to increased soil N generated by N-fixing plants [110,111], although changes to soil biota [111], increased soil organic matter levels [110], subsequent slow release of chemically bound organic N [112], and service as nurse plants for other species' establishment and growth [97,113] may also be important.…”
