Global patterns of phosphatase activity in natural soils

O Margalef, J Sardans, M Fernández-Martínez… - Scientific reports, 2017 - nature.com
Soil phosphatase levels strongly control the biotic pathways of phosphorus (P), an essential
element for life, which is often limiting in terrestrial ecosystems. We investigated the …

The phosphorus‐rich signature of fire in the soil–plant system: a global meta‐analysis

OM Butler, JJ Elser, T Lewis, B Mackey… - Ecology letters, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The biogeochemical and stoichiometric signature of vegetation fire may influence post‐fire
ecosystem characteristics and the evolution of plant 'fire traits'. Phosphorus (P), a potentially …

Optimisation of fuel reduction burning regimes for carbon, water and vegetation outcomes

M Gharun, M Possell, TL Bell, MA Adams - Journal of environmental …, 2017 - Elsevier
Fire plays a critical role in biodiversity, carbon balance, soil erosion, and nutrient and
hydrological cycles. While empirical evidence shows that fuel reduction burning can reduce …

Plant community regulates soil multifunctionality in a tropical dry forest

AK Singh, A Rai, R Banyal, PS Chauhan, N Singh - Ecological Indicators, 2018 - Elsevier
Tropical dry forest (TDF) covers large areas of tropics and characterized by a mosaic type of
plant communities that occur as the co-dominant multi-species sites to predominant mono …

Prescribed fire alters foliar stoichiometry and nutrient resorption in the understorey of a subtropical eucalypt forest

OM Butler, T Lewis, C Chen - Plant and Soil, 2017 - Springer
Background and aims Changes to soil nutrient concentrations following vegetation fire may
affect biogeochemical cycling and foliar stoichiometry. Phosphorus (P)-limited plant …

Changes in soil microbial response across year following a wildfire in tropical dry forest

AK Singh, M Kushwaha, A Rai, N Singh - Forest Ecology and Management, 2017 - Elsevier
Wildfire is a recurrent ecological disturbance in the tropical dry forest (TDF) due to high fuel
load and lengthy dry season. TDF covers a large area of the tropics, but relatively few …

Resiliencies of soil phosphorus fractions after natural summer fire are governed by microbial activity and cation availability in a semi-arid Inceptisol

A Ghosh, AK Singh, B Das, K Modak, RV Kumar… - Environmental …, 2023 - Elsevier
The unintended impact of natural summer fire on soil is complicated and rather less studied

Shifts in soil phosphorus fractions under elevated CO2 and N addition in model forest ecosystems in subtropical China

W Huang, G Zhou, J Liu, H Duan, X Liu, X Fang… - Plant Ecology, 2014 - Springer
Phosphorus (P) often limits plant growth in subtropical forests. Many studies have focused
on plant P responses to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) and increasing nitrogen …

Fire alters soil labile stoichiometry and litter nutrients in Australian eucalypt forests

OM Butler, T Lewis, C Chen - International Journal of Wildland …, 2017 - CSIRO Publishing
Ecological stoichiometry may be used to investigate the impacts of fire regime, as fire regime
can influence the cycling and balance of elements within forest ecosystems. We investigated …

Short-term carbon and nitrogen dynamics in soil, litterfall and canopy of a suburban native forest subjected to prescribed burning in subtropical Australia

I Tahmasbian, Z Xu, TTN Nguyen, R Che… - Journal of soils and …, 2019 - Springer
