It does. But like nettle and bramble, it's pushing out other species. Bramble, nettle, elderflowers (sambucus) are marvelous and valuable plants. And they have important roles in an ecosystem. It's just that the extreme nitrogen deposits have severely upset the balance. Maybe it'll settle on another level: nature commonly does that. And we'll then have to live with some species gone. I'm not yet ready to just accept that. Given how easy, technically, it is to prevent and turn it back around. To put some perspective: the Netherlands emits over four times as much NOX/km2 as the European average. With areas going over 10x the average. That is five times what was deposited around 1900. If you look at some maps with nox deposit, the outlines of the Netherlands are clearly visible: https://nos.nl/collectie/13901/artikel/2436073-het-stikstofprobleem-is-echt-nederlands-uitgelegd-in-acht-grafieken https://nos.nl/collectie/13901/artikel/2436073-het-stikstofp...
