A plant perspective on nitrogen cycling in the rhizosphere
Nitrogen is the major nutrient limiting plant growth in terrestrial ecosystems, and the
transformation of inert nitrogen to forms that can be assimilated by plants is mediated by soil …

Role of cultural and nutrient management practices in carbon sequestration in agricultural soil
Any management practice that results in greater carbon (C) return to the soil, increases
stabilization of soil C, or reduces C losses may lead to soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in …

Decline in beetle abundance and diversity in an intact temperate forest linked to climate warming
JE Harris, NL Rodenhouse, RT Holmes - Biological Conservation, 2019 - Elsevier
Insect abundances are declining in many areas around the world, but the causes of those
declines are seldom clear. Here we report a dramatic decline in the abundance and diversity …

Resource availability underlies the plant‐fungal diversity relationship in a grassland ecosystem
It is commonly assumed that microbial communities are structured by “bottom‐up” ecological
forces, although few experimental manipulations have rigorously tested the mechanisms by …

Do soil fauna really hasten litter decomposition? A meta-analysis of enclosure studies
We present a meta-analysis of experiments in which researchers used litter bags or similar
enclosures to explore three questions: Do soil macrofauna increase the removal of litter from …
