Forest Conversion Reduces Soil Water Retention in Tropical Rainforest
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extensive primary forests are being converted to secondary forests and plantations owing to human activities in recent decades, which have substantial effects on soil hydrological processes. However, the potential impact of forest conversion on soil water retention remains poorly understood.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Open‐pit coal mining severely degrades soil and ecosystem functions, constraining regional sustainability. Vegetation‐based reclamation has therefore been widely adopted as an effective approach to promote soil recovery and ecosystem restoration.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Fluorometric enzyme assays are a tool for determining potential enzyme activity in soils. A wide array of methodological approaches is adopted by different studies, making comparisons difficult. An important consideration is whether assay conditions replicate the environment of the samples or optimize potential enzyme activity.

Belowground biomass is as heritable as aboveground biomass in Miscanthus sinensis
Miscanthus biomass is an interesting ecological alternative for renewable energy, green chemistry, and bio-sourced products. This perennial grass efficiently recycles nutrients and reduces the need for nitrogen fertilization, minimizing its environmental impact.

EcographyThe relative importance of abiotic and biotic factors in shaping forest biomass stocks and fluxes remains a controversial issue. Here, using data gathered from 39 1 ha plots located in flooded and terra firme mature tropical lowland forests of the Amazon and Orinoquia regions of Colombia, we evaluated the importance of climate ...

Nonlinear interactive effects of temperature and soil moisture on plant biomass and carbon fluxes
Oikos, EarlyView.Climate warming is affecting plant growth and CO2 fluxes in high‐latitude ecosystems. However, soil moisture – and how it responds to warming – can alter the shape of the relationship between temperature and both plant performance and ecosystem processes. We conducted a microcosm experiment to test the interactive effects of temperature, soil moisture,

Weeds in a changing climate: Competitors or service plants?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.There is an increasing risk of drought and salinisation of soil and groundwater globally, including in Pacific Island countries such as Tonga. Irrigating crops with slightly saline water, such as that produced by emerging desalination technologies, could help to alleviate droughts.
