Root exudates mediate microorganisms to improve rhizosphere nutrient availability and crop productivity under straw mulching and slow‐release nitrogen fertilizer

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root exudates play a key role as signals and nutrients in mediating plant–microbe communication. However, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding how root exudates mediate soil–microbe–plant interactions to regulate crop yield under long‐term straw mulching combined ...

Depth‐dependent mechanisms regulate accumulation of plant‐ and microbial‐derived residues under long‐term nitrogen addition in a semiarid grassland

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant‐ and microbial‐derived residues constitute the primary sources of soil organic carbon (SOC) in grassland ecosystems. However, their differential responses to chronic nitrogen (N) enrichment and the depth‐dependent mechanisms governing their accumulation remain ...

Shrub encroachment influences root traits and mycorrhization in subalpine grasslands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Shrub encroachment into grasslands modifies ecosystem functions, species composition and soil properties. However, knowledge about its detailed below‐ground effects and specifically on concurrent changes in root traits and mycorrhizal associations is missing. We studied

Long‐term warming drives mineral‐associated organic carbon accumulation on the Tibetan Plateau

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global warming affects both plant growth and soil microbial decomposition, creating uncertainty for the storage and persistence of soil organic carbon (SOC) stock. Limited decomposition rates often characterise cold alpine ecosystems.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...
