Variation in mycorrhizal communities and the level of mycoheterotrophy in grassland and Forest populations of Neottia ovata (Orchidaceae)

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page 1948-1961, July 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Orchid mycorrhiza forms unique symbiotic associations between members of the Orchidaceae and multiple ecological guilds of fungi. Because orchids associate with a wide variety of fungi with different ecological functions, they represent an ideal study system to address ...

SWAMP: A new experiment for simulating permafrost warming and active layer deepening on the Tibetan Plateau

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, Page 1732-1746, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Our knowledge on the responses of permafrost ecosystems to climate warming is critical for assessing the direction and magnitude of permafrost carbon‐climate feedback. However, most of the previous experiments have only been able to warm the air and surface soil, with limited effects on the permafrost temperature.

Factors that shape large‐scale gradients in clonality

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 827-837, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Many plant species reproduce clonally. However, ecologists still have much to learn about the factors that shape large‐scale patterns in plant clonal growth and reproduction, especially in the southern hemisphere. We addressed this knowledge gap by quantifying relationships between reproductive mode and a suite of plant characteristics and

A novel red‐edge spectral index for retrieving the leaf chlorophyll content

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, Page 2771-2787, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The leaf chlorophyll content (Chlleaf) is a crucial vegetation parameter in carbon cycle modelling and agricultural monitoring at local, regional and global scales. The red‐edge spectral region is sensitive to variations in Chlleaf. An increasing number of sensors are capable of sampling red‐edge bands, providing opportunities to estimate ...

Factors influencing fine roots decomposition rates in response to nitrogen addition vary across root characteristics

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3504-3516, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition strongly affects litter decomposition and nutrient release, thereby reshaping carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Although most studies have focused on above‐ground litter, the effects of N addition on fine root decomposition and their ...

Drought decreases carbon flux but not transport speed of newly fixed carbon from leaves to sinks in a giant bamboo forest

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1746-1759, July 2025.
In forests dominated by large clonal plants, such as giant moso bamboo, drought can alter the allocation of newly assimilated C within the tissues of source ramet but may not affect its allocation among interconnected ramets or within plant–soil systems.

Tree mycorrhizal associations regulate relationships between plant and microbial communities and soil organic carbon stocks at local scales in a temperate forest

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1550-1566, June 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests store substantial amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC), but SOC stocks differ strongly between forest ecosystems dominated by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi.

Plant–microbe interactions drive the rhizosphere microbial assembly and nitrogen cycling in a subtropical forest

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 1274-1287, May 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Interactions between plants and soil microorganisms in the rhizosphere are vital for maintaining the nutrient cycle and stability of terrestrial ecosystems. Nitrogen, closely related to carbon (C) cycling and ecosystem productivity, undergoes transformation by soil ...

Plant nutrient‐acquisition strategies contribute to species replacement during primary succession

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 4, Page 988-1003, April 2025.
Pioneer species Hippophae acquires phosphorus and nitrogen mainly by ‘mining’ and N2‐fixing strategies and thus dominates in the beginning of primary succession. As soil nutrient availability increases with the mobilization of apatite‐P and input of N‐rich plant residues, Hippophae' strategies become less efficient than Populus's scavenging strategies.
