Short summary
We estimated the global demand for new N fixation (NNF) by terrestrial ecosystem using a DyN-LPJ model. Modelled NPP and C : N ratios of litter and soil organic matter were consistent with independent estimates. Modelled NNF was sensitive to the fraction of litter carbon respired to CO2 during decomposition and plant-type-specific C : N ratios of litter and soil. The modelled annual NNF increased 15% due to increasing CO2, while the future capacity of N sources to support this is unknown.
