Linear relationships between aboveground biomass and plant species diversity during the initial stage of degraded grassland restoration projects

Ecology and Evolution
The relationship between aboveground biomass and plant diversity has been extensively examined to understand the role of biodiversity in ecosystem functions and services. Degraded grassland restoration projects can enhance carbon sequestration.

Aboveground biomass estimation in conifer and deciduous forests with the use of a combined approach

Biosystems Diversity
The complex action of environmental factors often triggers the biomass formation in forest plantations, which is crucial for carbon balance and environmental monitoring, especially in the context of climate change. In this article, we present data on the

Exploring eco‐evolutionary and temporal patterns of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities colonizing Sorghum bicolor across sites of contrasting land use history and climate

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sorghum bicolor is a globally important cereal crop with annual yields exceeding 50 million tons across more than 100 countries and can be grown on marginal lands where conventional agriculture is limited. We examined how eight genetically diverse sorghum genotypes shaped arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community assembly across two contrasting ...

Seasonal variability in dry matter dynamics and net primary productivity of grassland ecosystem in Kumaun Himalaya

Geology, Ecology, and Landscapes
Grasslands in the Kumaun Himalayan region, formed largely due to degradation of forests by natural and anthropogenic disturbances, are ecologically significant but poorly studied in terms of dry matter dynamics and net primary productivity.

Aboveground biomass production and soil water dynamics of four leguminous forages in semiarid region, northwest China

, 2006
The study evaluated the forage productivity and water use of four leguminous grasses namely alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), vetch (Astragalus adsurgens Pall.), sainfoin (Onobrychis viciaefolia Scop.) and Lespedeza davurica grown in semiarid region on the ...

Impact of plant breeding on the responsiveness of maize and wheat varieties to an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbiont

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Field inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offers a promising route to improve sustainable agriculture and food production, yet results are often variable. We investigated the mycorrhizal growth response of maize and wheat varieties recommended for farmers and found substantial variation under greenhouse conditions.

Informing the potential of mature temperate forests as natural climate solutions: Changed fine root biomass and morphology under elevated CO2

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The land carbon sink absorbs approximately 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, with forests accounting for most. Managing forests as Natural Climate Solutions is therefore a societal imperative, requiring models of where and how long carbon resides within these ecosystems. We investigated the effects of elevated CO2 on fine roots, the primary source of

Interactive effects of microplastics and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on grassland communities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grassland plant communities contribute significantly to global biodiversity but face numerous man‐made pressures which may interfere with their ecological functions. One such pressure receiving increasing scientific, political, and public attention is microplastic pollution.
