Plant functional trait dissimilarity drives plant mixture effects on fine root biomass and trait variations. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Fine roots are critical for soil resource uptake, yet how declining plant diversity alters fine root biomass (RB) and traits remains unclear. We tested how plant functional trait dissimilarity in shade tolerance, drought tolerance, growth rate, and nitrogen‐fixation ability drives variation in root attributes.

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 ...

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

Effects of Biochar Application on Nitrogen and Phosphorus Availability in Soils: aReview [PDF]
, 2016 利用生物炭在贫瘠的土壤上培育出肥沃的"黑土"正成为土壤学家研究的热点.氮、磷等大量养分是衡量土壤肥力高低的重要指标,生物炭对其有效性影响表现出极大的复杂性.不同研究得出的结论不尽相同,关键是缺乏对其机制的深入研究.由于氮和磷的不合理利用还可能造成非点源污染而带来环境风险,再加之生物炭施用的不可逆性,必须确保生物炭在任何情况下都不会对土壤和环境带来不利的影响.为此,本文综述了生物炭添加对氮肥和磷肥在土壤-植物系统迁移转化过程中的作用,重点讨论了不同生物炭处理方式对土壤磷素吸附解吸和形态转化的影响 ...
