Short summary
Nutrient availability regulates terrestrial ecosystem function and global change responses, and thus the capacity to buffer climate change by CO2 uptake. Large-scale studies allow generalizing on the role of nutrients, but comparing the nutrient status among sites poses a bottleneck. In this study, we adjust a nutrient availability metric for seminatural systems, using Swedish forest data. Future studies should evaluate metric performance outside boreal forests and provide further adjustments.
