Soil carbon storage is related to tree functional composition in naturally regenerating tropical forests. [PDF]
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Regenerating tropical forests are increasingly important for their role in the global carbon cycle. Carbon stocks in above‐ground biomass can recover to old‐growth forest levels within 60–100 years.

Nocturnal dissolved organic matter release by turf algae and its role in the microbialization of reefs. [PDF]
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The increased release of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by algae has been associated with the fast but inefficient growth of opportunistic microbial pathogens and the ongoing degradation of coral reefs.

Climatic and Edaphic Drivers of Soil Organic Carbon and Pyrogenic Carbon Stocks Across Elevation and Disturbance Gradients in Colombian Andean Forests. [PDF]
This study examined soil organic carbon (SOC) and pyrogenic carbon (PyC) stocks in tropical Andean soils across elevation and disturbance gradients in Colombia. SOC stocks to 100 cm depth averaged 433.10 Mg C ha−1 while PyC was 34.13 Mg C ha−1. Key drivers of PyC stocks include soil clay (%), mean annual precipitation (PA), pH, Ca, and NDVI, which ...

Ectomycorrhizal fungi and the nitrogen economy of <i>Nothofagus</i> in southern Patagonia. [PDF]
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 ...

Seedling growth declines in warmed tropical forest soils
The response of tropical forest plants to a warming climate could have a large feedback on further climatic change. To address this, we tested the response of six tree species seedlings to 3 years of in‐situ experimental soil warming. Our study demonstrates that belowground warming causes species‐specific declines in the growth and photosynthesis of ...
