Sulphur applied in the elemental form, or as sodium or calcium sulphate, on Grey Wooded soils, increased yields of alfalfa on sulphur-deficient Loon River loam, but not on sulphur-sufficient Garrick loam. The quantity of sulphate-sulphur was extremely low in the alfalfa grown on untreated Loon River loam and increased markedly as a result of the application of sulphur to the soil. Although herbage from untreated areas of the sulphur-deficient soil contained a slightly higher per cent nitrogen in 1955 than that grown on the sulphur-sufficient soil, sulphur treatment increased nitrogen content and yield of nitrogen on the sulphur-deficient soil. The relative abundance of nitrogen in the herbage grown on the check areas of the deficient soil suggests that the main effect of sulphur was not on root nodulation or nitrogen supply, but rather on nitrogen assimilation and other physiological functions of the sulphur-containing compounds within the plant.

Abstract. Dynamic global vegetation models are used to predict the response of vegetation to climate change. They are essential for planning ecosystem management, understanding carbon cycleclimate feedbacks, and evaluating the potential impacts of climate change on global ecosystems. JULES (the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator) represents terrestrial processes in the UK Hadley Centre family of models and in the first generation UK Earth System Model. Previously, JULES represented five plant functional types (PFTs): broadleaf trees, needle-leaf trees, C3 and C4 grasses, and shrubs. This study addresses three developments in JULES. First, trees and shrubs were split into deciduous and evergreen PFTs to better represent the range of leaf lifespans and metabolic capacities that exists in nature. Second, we distinguished between temperate and tropical broadleaf evergreen trees. These first two changes result in a new set of nine PFTs: tropical and temperate broadleaf evergreen trees, broadleaf deciduous trees, needle-leaf evergreen and deciduous trees, C3 and C4 grasses, and evergreen and deciduous shrubs. Third, using data from the TRY database, we updated the relationship between leaf nitrogen and the maximum rate of carboxylation of Rubisco (Vcmax), and updated the model phenology to include a trade-off between leaf lifespan and leaf mass per unit area.
