The effect of nitrogen fertilization on species cover, increment of shrubs, tissue nitrogen, and soil parameters was tested during a 3-year experiment in a low alpine plant community dominated by Betula nana in the Dovre mountains, south-central Norway. The doses used were 1.2 and 6.1 g N/m2, corresponding to 0.72 and 3.6 times, respectively, the annual deposition of nitrogen in southwest Norway. Statistical analysis using SAS ANOVA and GLM procedures were applied to different types of models. The cover of species and growth forms showed no significant response to additional nitrogen supply. The increment of shrubs was not significantly affected by the fertilization, except for the year factor. Incorporation of nitrogen into plant tissue was not evident. No effects were found on soil parameters. Key words: fertilization, alpine tundra, shrubs, nitrogen.

Various studies have observed that increased nutrient supply promotes the growth of bloom-forming cyanobacteria, but only a limited number of studies have investigated the influence of increased nutrient supply on bloom-forming cyanobacteria at the proteomic level. We investigated the cellular and proteomic responses of Microcystis aeruginosa to elevated nitrogen and phosphorus supply. Increased supply of both nutrients significantly promoted the growth of M. aeruginosa and the synthesis of chlorophyll a, protein, and microcystins. The release of microcystins and the synthesis of polysaccharides negatively correlated with the growth of M. aeruginosa under high nutrient levels. Overexpressed proteins related to photosynthesis, and amino acid synthesis, were responsible for the stimulatory effects of increased nutrient supply in M. aeruginosa. Increased nitrogen supply directly promoted cyanobacterial growth by inducing the overexpression of the cell division regulatory protein FtsZ. NtcA, that regulates gene transcription related to both nitrogen assimilation and microcystin synthesis, was overexpressed under the high nitrogen condition, which consequently induced overexpression of 2 microcystin synthetases (McyC and McyF) and promoted microcystin synthesis. Elevated nitrogen supply induced the overexpression of proteins involved in gas vesicle organization (GvpC and GvpW), which may increase the buoyancy of M. aeruginosa. Increased phosphorus level indirectly affected growth and the synthesis of cellular substances in M. aeruginosa through the mediation of differentially expressed proteins related to carbon and phosphorus metabolism. This study provides a comprehensive description of changes in the proteome of M. aeruginosa in response to an increased supply of 2 key nutrients.
