Changes in co-existence mechanisms along a long-term soil chronosequence revealed by functional trait diversity [PDF]
, 2012 1. Functional trait diversity can reveal mechanisms of species co-existence in plant communities. Few studies have tested whether functional diversity for foliar traits related to resource use strategy increases or decreases with declining soil ...

American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1991-2005, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Numerous processes influence plant distributions and co‐occurrence patterns, including ecological sorting, limiting similarity, and stochastic effects. To discriminate among these processes and determine the spatial scales at which they operate, we investigated how functional traits and phylogenetic relatedness influence the ...

Agricultural quality matrix-based multiomics structural analysis of carrots in soils fertilized with thermophile-fermented compost [PDF]
, 2022 Compost is used worldwide as a soil conditioner for crops, but its functions have still been explored. Here, the omics profiles of carrots were investigated, as a root vegetable plant model, in a field amended with compost fermented with thermophilic Bacillaceae for growth and quality indices.
