Conservative roots confer a larger microbial carbon pump efficacy than acquisitive roots by regulating microbial life‐history strategy

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2617-2627, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root activity creates unique microbial hotspots in the rhizosphere by influencing the metabolic activities of surrounding soil microorganisms, profoundly regulating the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, how root economic strategies affect the formation and

Pinus armandii ectomycorrhizas mobilize aluminium‐bound phosphorus via carboxylates along a subtropical altitudinal gradient

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Ectomycorrhizal roots of Pinus armandii release more carboxylates than non‐mycorrhizal root segments, mobilizing Al‐bound inorganic P. Under the lowest available P conditions, they also secrete more phosphatase, promoting the mineralization of Al‐bound organic P.

Elevation, soil pH and calcium availability shape regional and local scale spatial patterns of PhoD gene abundance in tropical and subtropical forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 983-1000, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organic phosphorus mineralization is a critical process in the phosphorus cycle, governing phosphorus bioavailability for plants. The PhoD gene, which encodes the key enzyme alkaline phosphatase, serves as a valuable biomarker for this process.

重度盐渍化湿地土壤酶活性对生物炭添加及浅翻处理的响应

, 2020
研究了生物炭添加及浅翻处理对黄河三角洲滨海湿地重度盐渍化湿地土壤的影响,分析了不同处理下的土壤酶活性以及土壤理化因子的变化,初步探讨了浅翻及生物炭添加对重度盐渍化土壤的短期改良效果。结果表明:与对照相比,单一的浅翻处理使土壤表层电导率提高,但浅翻处理并未显著改变土壤的容重、含水率和总碳含量。添加高量生物炭后可显著降低土壤容重,增加土壤表层孔隙度,土壤表层总碳、有机质含量均显著增加。浅翻处理不能提高酶活性,但配合中、高量生物炭的添加,可以显著提高蔗糖酶的活性。综合来看 ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus reshapes the rhizosphere microbiome of alfalfa in response to above‐ground attack by aphids and a fungal plant pathogen

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 2149-2169, August 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants assemble beneficial rhizosphere microbiomes through a ‘cry for help’ mechanism upon pathogen or insect herbivore attack. The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can influence the composition of microbial communities in the plant rhizosphere. However, their impacts

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.
