Increased adoption of no‐till systems in the Northern Plains has led to an increased volume
of post‐harvest crop residue. A cool climate coupled with short growing seasons benefits …

In the ecological literature, a 'home-field advantage'(HFA) describes the phenomenon where
plant litters are broken down more quickly in their native versus a foreign environment due to …

In-depth microbial community characterization, a community-level metabolic function
analysis, and biogeochemical assessments of residues were performed to understand the …

Soil aeration is a crucial factor that regulates crop residue decomposition, and the chemical
composition of decomposing crop residues may change the forms and availability of soil …

The conversion of natural forests to tree plantations alters the quality and decreases the
quantity of litter inputs into the soil, but how the alteration of litter inputs affect soil organic …

Plant litter decomposition is a crucial ecosystem process that regulates nutrient cycling, soil
fertility, and plant productivity and is strongly influenced by increased nitrogen (N) …

Differences in litter quality and in soil microbial community composition can influence the
litter decomposition and 'home‐field advantage'(HFA). However, our knowledge about the …

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition could affect various ecological processes in forest
ecosystems, including plant litter decomposition and nutrient cycling. However, the …

Plant–soil feedback (PSF) is an important driver of plant community dynamics. Many studies
have emphasized the role of pathogens and symbiotic mutualists in PSF s; however, less is …

Home field advantage (HFA; acceleration of plant litter decomposition in soils that receive
their indigenous litter) and priming effects (PE; short-term changes in the turnover of soil …
