Effects of soil fauna on leaf litter decomposition and nutrient release during a two-year field experiment in a poplar plantation

Soil fauna play a key role in the litter decomposition process in two ways; directly via fragmentation and consumption of the litter, and indirectly through changes in soil structure and the activity of microo...

Soil radiocarbon abundance in global forest ecosystems controlled by climate and soil properties

Soil is the largest carbon pool on land. A small proportional change of soil carbon may lead to strong feedback to the climate system. However, how climate and soil properties affect soil carbon storage at reg...

Consistent responses of the C:N:P stoichiometry of green leaves and fine roots to N addition in poplar plantations in eastern coastal China

Ecological stoichiometry plays an important role in biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem functions. However, we know little of fine-root stoichiometry responses to nitrogen (N) addition and whether the response...

Responses of C:N stoichiometry in plants, soil, and microorganisms to nitrogen addition

The deposition of atmospheric N is expected to increase in the future; however, our understanding of the responses of C:N stoichiometry to N deposition in plants, soil, and microorganisms remains elusive. We a...

The roles of initial litter traits in regulating litter decomposition: a “common plot” experiment in a subtropical evergreen broadleaf forest

Leaf litter decomposition constitutes a valuable ecosystem service by recycling nutrients, transferring energy, and sequestrating carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems. However, variations in microclimate and d...

Peanut plant growth was altered by monocrop**-associated microbial enrichment of rhizosphere microbiome

Repeated planting of the same or closely-related crop species often results in negative soil feedbacks, manifested as reduced plant growth. This is commonly attributed to accumulation of plant pathogenic organ...
