Spatial heterogeneity of nitrification contributes to tree–grass coexistence in West African savannas

In savannas, the coexistence between trees and grasses is determined by complex mechanisms based on water partitioning and disturbances. But little is known about the contribution of other resources, such as soil nitrogen (N). In West African savannas, nitrification inhibition by grasses and nitrifi...
