Abstract
Significance Symbiotic dinitrogen (N 2 )-fixing trees fulfill a critical function in tropical forests by bringing in new nitrogen, yet it remains unclear how they overcome constraints by highly weathered, nutrient-poor tropical soils. We advance forest biogeochemistry and microbial ecology with the discovery from field trials in Panama that fast-growing N 2 -fixing trees in tropical forests exhibit accelerated mineral weather
