Degradation of Complex Textile Dyes by Some Leaf-Litter Dwelling Fungi
Six different strains of leaf-litter fungi isolated from the Gangajalghati sal forest of the Southern West Bengal were screened and applied to assess...
-
Litter mixing promoted decomposition and altered microbial community in common bean root litter
BackgroundDecomposition of plant litter is a key driver of carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Mixing litters of different plant...

Effects of warming on litter decomposition and fungal communities in lake wetlands
The impact of climate warming on the decomposition of wetland plant litter has received widespread attention. We used the litter bag method to...

Composition and seasonal variation of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi spore community in litter, root mat, and soil from a subtropical rain forest
Community composition and seasonal variation of sporulation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been studied in soils from many ecosystems...

Examining litter and soil characteristics impact on decomposer communities, detritivores and carbon accumulation in the Mediterranean area
Background and aimLitter and soil characteristics influence the abundance and activities of decomposers and detritivores, thereby affecting C...

Fungi of Nepal
Nepal is rich in mycoflora diversity, also known as the diversity of fungi. Fungal study in Nepal has initiated by foreign researchers, but now a...

Fungal communities mediate but do not control leaf litter chemical transformation in a temperate oak forest
Background and AimsIn temperate forests, fungi are the main actors in leaf litter decomposition. Still, we have minimal knowledge of their influence...

Litter quality controls the contribution of microbial carbon to main microbial groups and soil organic carbon during its decomposition
A 163-day decomposition experiment with 13 C-enriched leaf litter of Populus davidiana (low quality, with low N content, high C:N and high lignin...

Alkaliphilic and thermostable lipase production by leaf litter fungus Leptosphaerulina trifolii A SMR-2011
Fungi that inhabit fire-prone forests have to be adapted to harsh conditions and fungi affiliated to Ascomycota recovered from foliar litter samples...

Weak responses of soil microorganisms to leaf litter inputs after native Phyllostachys edulis invasion into adjacent native forests
AimsMoso bamboo ( Phyllostachys pubescens ) invasions into native forest cause a series of ecological problems, including the alteration of soil...

Does liming improve microbial carbon use efficiency after maize litter addition in a tropical acidic soil?
Soil pH is one of the main drivers of soil microbial functions, including carbon use efficiency (CUE), the efficiency of microorganisms in converting...

Bamboo Expansion and Ecosystem Litter Input
Biological invasion and the expansion of moso bamboo are well known to reduce the diversity of trees in invaded habitats and will change the...

Soil-Litter Mixing Mediates Drivers of Dryland Decomposition along a Continuum of Biotic and Abiotic Factors
Litter decomposition is a key ecosystem process that determines rates of carbon and nutrient cycling. Photodegradation and soil-litter mixing have...

Impacts of plant domestication on soil microbial and nematode communities during litter decomposition
PurposePlant domestication altered leaf litter quality. Since litter traits relate to soil functions and organisms (i.e., litter decomposition and...

Linking processes to community functions—insights into litter decomposition combining fungal metatranscriptomics and environmental NMR profiling
In forest ecosystems, decomposition is essential for carbon and nutrient cycling and therefore a key process for ecosystem functioning. During the...

Concentration characteristics and the drivers of soluble components in freshly fallen plant litter
Soluble components leach rapidly during the early stage of litter decomposition and represent the earliest nutrient input to the soils after leaf...

The Role of Fungi and Bacteria in the Mineralization of Nitrogen Compounds in the Ecosystems of the Southern Taiga of European Russia
AbstractFor two years, the contribution of fungi and bacteria to the process of net ammonification in soddy-podzolic soil of the sorrel–blueberry...

Changing litter composition following the dual invasion of Amur honeysuckle and the emerald ash borer alters fungal driven decomposition in Midwestern forests
Midwestern forests are currently impacted by two prominent invaders, the emerald ash borer (EAB; Agrilus planipennis ) and Amur honeysuckle (AHS; Lonice...
