[HTML][HTML] A review and meta-analysis of mitigation measures for nitrous oxide emissions from crop residues
Crop residues are of crucial importance to maintain or even increase soil carbon stocks and
fertility, and thereby to address the global challenge of climate change mitigation. However …

Litter and soil biodiversity jointly drive ecosystem functions
The decomposition of litter and the supply of nutrients into and from the soil are two
fundamental processes through which the above‐and belowground world interact. Microbial …

Functional identity drives tree species richness‐induced increases in litterfall production and forest floor mass in young tree communities
Forest floor accumulation is a key process that influences ecosystem carbon cycling. Despite
evidence suggesting that tree diversity and soil carbon are positively correlated, most soil …

FungalTraits vs. FUNGuild: comparison of ecological functional assignments of leaf-and needle-associated fungi across 12 temperate tree species
Recently, a new annotation tool “FungalTraits” was created based on the previous FUNGuild
and FunFun databases, which has attracted high attention in the scientific community. These …

Diversity-decomposition relationships in forests worldwide
Plant species diversity affects carbon and nutrient cycling during litter decomposition, yet the
generality of the direction of this effect and its magnitude remains uncertain. With a meta …

Microbial groups and their functions control the decomposition of coniferous litter: a comparison with broadleaved tree litters
W Zhang, K Yang, Z Lyu, J Zhu - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2019 - Elsevier
The conversion of secondary forests to pure coniferous plantations leads to a decrease in
soil quality partly because of the slow decomposition rate of coniferous litter. Microbial …
