Recent observations suggest that the large carbon sink in mature and recovering forests may be strongly limited by nitrogen1–3. Nitrogen-fixing trees (fixers) in symbiosis with bacteria provide the main natural source of new nitrogen to tropical forests3,4. However, abundances of fixers are tightly constrained5–7, highlighting the fundamental unanswered question of what limits new nitrogen entering tropical ecosystems.
