The potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve soil organic carbon in agricultural ecosystems: A meta‐analytical approach

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 1016-1030, April 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in agroecosystems is a key objective for enhancing agricultural sustainability and mitigating climate change. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can increase yield and provide several other ecosystem services.

Tree Diversity Increases Carbon Stocks and Fluxes Above—But Not Belowground in a Tropical Forest Experiment

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
We examined the potential of mixed‐species planted forests compared to monospecific forests to act as a nature‐based solution to climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration. By analysing multiple carbon stocks and fluxes over 16 years in the world's oldest tropical tree diversity experiment, we found that planted forests with five tree ...

La sombra alargada del patrón: Gamonalismo y hábitos hacendatarios en Chimborazo tras la reforma agraria

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 352-363, December 2024.
Abstract This paper explores selective aspects of the historical processes of organization of the kichwa peasantry in the Andes of Ecuador. Based on the analysis of two representative cases of confrontation between peasants and landowners over access to land in the province of Chimborazo, it discusses the relevance of the concept of “gamonalismo” as ...

Natural forest colonisation as a management strategy to restore soil functioning of abandoned agricultural lands

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 11, Page 2690-2700, November 2024.
Though its effectiveness is variable, passive restoration can be more effective than active restoration. Our research indicates that passive tree colonisation of past agricultural land is enough to achieve soil functionality similar to a mature forest for most variables studied. However, some variables would need more time to reach mature forest levels,

Ectomycorrhizal fungi and the nitrogen economy of Nothofagus in southern Patagonia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
Ectomycorrhizal fungi play essential roles in nitrogen cycling and plant nutrient uptake at high latitudes. However, they have disproportionately been studied in boreal forests dominated by evergreen conifers. We characterized ectomycorrhizal associations and the nitrogen economy of co‐occurring deciduous and evergreen angiosperms from the genus ...

Movilización de carbono orgánico por distintos procesos erosivos en la conexión ladera-cauce

Pirineos: Revista de Ecología de Montaña, 2010
Con el fin de caracterizar la cantidad y tipo (lábil o recalcitrante) de carbono orgánico (CO) movilizado por distintos procesos erosivos identificados en las conexiones ladera-cauce, se estudiaron las características de los depósitos de erosión ...

Soil carbon and nitrogen cycling at the atmosphere–soil interface: Quantifying the responses of biocrust–soil interactions to global change

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 10, October 2024.
Despite the critical role of biological soil crusts (biocrusts) in dryland C and N cycles, little is known about how biocrust‐derived C and N move into the soil. This study reveals how biocrusts facilitate the downward movement of C and N and drive the formation of mineral‐associated organic matter in subcrust soils.

Vegetative stage and soil horizon respectively determine direction and magnitude of rhizosphere priming effects in contrasting tree line soils

Functional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 9, Page 1984-2002, September 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Tree lines in high latitudes and high altitudes are considered sentinels of global change. This manifests in accelerated encroachment of trees and shrubs and enhanced plant productivity, with currently unknown implications for the carbon balance of these biomes.

Carbono orgânico no solo sob mata nativa e florestas plantadas em longo prazo

Pesquisa Florestal Brasileira, 2022
A matéria orgânica do solo (MOS) exerce papel fundamental para a sustentabilidade de ecossistemas florestais. O estudo das frações da MOS possibilita avaliar a qualidade do solo sob florestas nativas ou plantadas.
