Parallel evolutionary paths to mycoheterotrophy in understorey Ericaceae and Orchidaceae: ecological evidence for mixotrophy in Pyroleae
Several forest understorey achlorophyllous plants, termed mycoheterotrophs (MHs), obtain
C from their mycorrhizal fungi. The latter in turn form ectomycorrhizas with trees, the ultimate …

Relationships between plant traits, soil properties and carbon fluxes differ between monocultures and mixed communities in temperate grassland
The use of plant traits to predict ecosystem functions has been gaining growing attention.
Above‐ground plant traits, such as leaf nitrogen (N) content and specific leaf area (SLA) …

Impacts of 120 years of fertilizer addition on a temperate grassland ecosystem
The widespread application of fertilizers has greatly influenced many processes and
properties of agroecosystems, and agricultural fertilization is expected to increase even …

Nitrogen losses from two grassland soils with different fungal biomass
FT De Vries, JW Van Groenigen, E Hoffland… - Soil Biology and …, 2011 - Elsevier
Nitrogen losses from agricultural grasslands cause eutrophication of ground-and surface
water and contribute to global warming and atmospheric pollution. It is widely assumed that …

Parasitic plants as facilitators: more Dryad than Dracula?
DM Watson - Journal of Ecology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Summary 1 Despite being components of most vegetation types, the community‐level effects
of parasitic plants are often ignored. The few studies adopting a broader view have revealed …

Connecting the green and brown worlds: allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above-and below-ground networks
We examine the potential of trait-based parameters of taxa for linking above-and below-
ground ecological networks (hereafter 'green'and 'brown'worlds) to understand and predict …

Parasitism by Cuscuta pentagona sequentially induces JA and SA defence pathways in tomato
While plant responses to herbivores and pathogens are well characterized, responses to
attack by other plants remain largely unexplored. We measured phytohormones and C18 …

Responsiveness of soil nitrogen fractions and bacterial communities to afforestation in the Loess Hilly Region (LHR) of China
In the present paper, we investigated the effects of afforestation on nitrogen fractions and
microbial communities. A total of 24 soil samples were collected from farmland (FL) and …
