Plant–soil feedback: bridging natural and agricultural sciences
In agricultural and natural systems researchers have demonstrated large effects of plant–soil
feedback (PSF) on plant growth. However, the concepts and approaches used in these two …

Home‐field advantage of litter decomposition: from the phyllosphere to the soil
Plants often associate with specialized decomposer communities that increase plant litter
breakdown, a phenomenon that is known as the 'home‐field advantage'(HFA). Although the …

Necrobiome framework for bridging decomposition ecology of autotrophically and heterotrophically derived organic matter
Decomposition contributes to global ecosystem function by contributing to nutrient recycling,
energy flow, and limiting biomass accumulation. The decomposer organisms influencing this …

There's no place like home? An exploration of the mechanisms behind plant litter–decomposer affinity in terrestrial ecosystems
Litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems is an important first step for carbon and
nutrient cycling, as senescent plant material is degraded and consequently incorporated …

Revisiting the hypothesis that fungal‐to‐bacterial dominance characterizes turnover of soil organic matter and nutrients
Resolving fungal and bacterial groups within the microbial decomposer community is
thought to capture disparate life strategies for soil microbial decomposers, associating …

Quantifying microbial control of soil organic matter dynamics at macrosystem scales
Soil organic matter (SOM) stocks, decomposition and persistence are largely the product of
controls that act locally. Yet the controls are shaped and interact at multiple spatiotemporal …

Temperature and moisture modulate the contribution of soil fauna to litter decomposition via different pathways
B Tan, R Yin, J Zhang, Z Xu, Y Liu, S He, L Zhang, H Li… - Ecosystems, 2021 - Springer
Soil fauna are crucial decomposers in terrestrial ecosystems, but how the role of soil fauna
varies among climatic conditions and litter substrates remains poorly understood. Here, we …

Microbial stoichiometry overrides biomass as a regulator of soil carbon and nitrogen cycling
Understanding the role of soil microbial communities in coupled carbon and nitrogen cycles
has become an area of great interest as we strive to understand how global change will …

High functional breadth of microbial communities decreases home-field advantage of litter decomposition
M Zhu, N Fanin, Q Wang, Z Xu, S Liang, J Ye… - Soil Biology and …, 2024 - Elsevier
Home-field advantage (HFA) predicts that litter decomposes faster under its derived plant
species. Growing evidence suggests that HFA depends on litter chemical traits and the …

Decay rates of leaf litters from arbuscular mycorrhizal trees are more sensitive to soil effects than litters from ectomycorrhizal trees
While it is well established that leaf litter decomposition is controlled by climate and
substrate quality at broad spatial scales, conceptual frameworks that consider how local …
