Description:
Dust outpaces bedrock in nutrient supply to montane forest ecosystems Nature Communications, Published online: 28 March 2017; doi:10.1038/ncomms14800 Dust is an important nutrient source to landscapes, but often the source of dust is poorly constrained. Here, the authors quantify the origin of different dust sources in the Sierra Nevada by analysing dust composition and suggest exogenic dust may drive nutrient budgets in montane ecosystems.
