Characterization of the Plant‒Soil feedback index in alpine meadow degradation and recovery: A field experiment

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Most plant‒soil feedback studies have been conducted on the mechanism by which soil directly influences plant growth performance and mostly in indoor pot experiments; however, it is unclear how plant‒soil feedback is influenced by plant, soil and ...

Decomposers found on a partially decomposed caimito (Chrysophyllum cainito): Example of a log ecosystem

Davao Research Journal, 2020
Decomposers are integral parts of our ecosystem, breaking down matter and releasing it back into the soil for other living things to utilize instead of remaining unused in the tissues of dead animals and plants.

Modelling the influence of biotic factors on species distribution patterns [PDF]

, 2016
Biotic interactions can have large effects on species distributions yet their role in shaping species ranges is seldom explored due to historical difficulties in incorporating biotic factors into models without a priori knowledge on interspecific ...

Biotic stress-induced changes in root exudation confer plant stress tolerance by altering rhizospheric microbial community

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Every organism on the earth maintains some kind of interaction with its neighbours. As plants are sessile, they sense the varied above-ground and below-ground environmental stimuli and decipher these dialogues to the below-ground microbes and ...

Precipitation and temperature regulate species diversity, plant coverage and aboveground biomass through opposing mechanisms in large-scale grasslands

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
IntroductionAlthough the relationships between species diversity and aboveground biomass (AGB) are highly debated in grassland ecosystems, it is not well understood how climatic factors influence AGB directly and indirectly via plant coverage and species
