Effects of fertilisation and understory removal on aboveground and belowground carbon stocks in wet and dry moorlands in south-western France
Forests provide essential ecosystem services such as wood production and soil carbon storage, which can be influenced by forest management....

Root growth and belowground interactions in spring wheat /faba bean intercrops
Background and aimsIntercrops offer multiple advantages over sole crops. The aim of our study was to characterize root growth and interactions in...
-
Shifts in belowground processes along a temperate forest edge
ContextForests are increasingly fragmented, and as a result most forests in the United States are within one km of an edge. Edges change...

Reduced belowground allocation of freshly assimilated C contributes to negative plant-soil feedback in successive winter wheat rotations
AimsSuccessive winter wheat (WW) rotations are associated with yield reduction, often attributed to the unfavorable soil microbes that persist in the...

Effects of soil compaction and vegetation weeding on the above-, and belowground growth of boreal evergreen conifer seedlings
If soil compaction caused by the operation of forestry machines does not suppress the growth of planted seedlings, this operation may be an...
-
Above- and belowground composition and diversity of subtropical plantations and their relationships with soil nutrient stocks
PurposeThis study aimed to understand the above- and belowground community assembly in subtropical plantations, and to detect the relationship with...

Carbon Stocks and Total Belowground Carbon Flux Respond to Weather and Grazing in Semiarid Montane Meadows
Montane meadow ecosystems are regional carbon (C) hot spots relative to surrounding uplands and can be substantial C sinks or sources. In the...

Above and belowground carbon stock of pine plantations and native oak forests coexisting in central Spain
Promoting nature-based carbon sinks may contribute to minimise global warming. Different forest types may have different carbon sink capacity. Many...

Role of above- and belowground traits in the functional structure and species dominance of tropical fern communities in response to edge effects
Recent investigations have revealed the coordination and trade-offs between above- and belowground traits in structuring functional strategies of...

Cover crops increase belowground N retention substantially in corn crop** systems: Results from a 15N residue swap** experiment
Background and aimsCover crops can potentially increase nitrogen (N) retention in agroecosystems. However, only a small fraction of the N released...

Harnessing belowground processes for sustainable intensification of agricultural systems
Increasing food demand coupled with climate change pose a great challenge to agricultural systems. In this review we summarize recent advances in our...

Plant and fungal species interactions differ between aboveground and belowground habitats in mountain forests of eastern China
Plant and fungal species interactions drive many essential ecosystem properties and processes; however, how these interactions differ between...
-
The global distribution and environmental drivers of aboveground versus belowground plant biomass
A poor understanding of the fraction of global plant biomass occurring belowground as roots limits our understanding of present and future ecosystem...
-
Legacy effects of a multi-year extreme drought on belowground bud banks in rhizomatous vs bunchgrass-dominated grasslands
Belowground bud banks play a crucial role in plant population regeneration, community dynamics, and functional responses of ecosystems to...

Understanding of Belowground Biochemical Communication in Millets Through Metabolomics
After the green revolution, the consumption of rice and wheat became popular, but grain production became an area of concern. Now, the importance of...
-
Drought and interspecific competition increase belowground carbon allocation for nitrogen acquisition in monocultures and mixtures of Trifolium repens and Lolium perenne
PurposeBelowground carbon (C) allocation for nitrogen (N) acquisition plays a crucial role in determining primary productivity and plant...

The relative importance of intraspecific variation in above- and belowground plant traits in sha** salt marsh soil bacterial diversity and composition
PurposeSpecies differences in plant traits have been critical for a mechanistic understanding of the distribution of soil microbial communities, but...
-
A tale of two grasslands: how belowground storage organs coordinate their traits with water-use traits
PurposePlant belowground storage traits are important for mediating environmental stress, but their role in response to water availability and their...

Symbiotic bacteria associated with legume tree species in a Mexican tropical dry forest
The ubiquitous dominance of legumes across successional stages in tropical dry forests is partly attributed to their ability to fix symbiotically...

Root traits with team benefits: understanding belowground interactions in intercrop** systems
BackgroundThe potential benefits of intercrop** are manifold and have been repeatedly demonstrated. Intercrop** has the potential to create more...
