    Persistence of soil microbial residuals and lignin phenols in forest ecosystems along the latitude gradient

    Soil organic carbon (SOC) storage is mainly governed by inputs from plant and microbial sources. How the relative contributions of these two sources in forest soils vary along broad-scale environmental gradien...

    Home-field advantage of litter decomposition differs among leaves, absorptive roots, and transport roots

    Home-field advantage (HFA) in litter decomposition occurs widely in terrestrial ecosystems, but it remains unknown that how leaf, absorptive and transport roots differ in their HFA. Here we conducted a 635-da...

    The effects of mycorrhizal associations on fine root decomposition in temperate and (sub)tropical forests

    Fine-root (diameter ≤ 2 mm) decomposition contributes significantly to nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Roots with arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) and ectomycorrhizas (ECM) differ in root chemistry, whi...
