Unique species interactions determine the decomposition activity of fungal communities

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fungal diversity plays a critical role in decomposition, a key process in carbon (C) cycling and ecosystem functioning. However, diversity–function relationships in microbial systems remain context‐dependent and challenging to predict.

Stage‐specific biological nitrogen fixation depends on distinct carbon and nitrogen availability in long‐term fertilized paddy fields

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Industrial Haber–Bosch provides 32 Tg nitrogen (N) per year to global croplands. Such large amounts of N fertilization will reshape soil N cycles. One uncertainty is whether and how these long‐term N inputs impact soil biological N2 fixation (BNF) associated with plant ...

Functionally diverse stands promote leaf litter decomposition irrespective of litter species' resource acquisition strategy

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Stand functional diversity (RaoQ) and stand functional composition in terms of the functional traits of the component species (CWM trait) are critical for ecosystem processes and functioning, such as litter decomposition and associated nutrient cycling.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Cohorts of immature Pteropus bats show interannual variation in Hendra virus serology

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Pteropus bat with offspring, photo taken by Manuel Ruiz‐Aravena. Abstract Understanding the drivers of seasonal disease outbreaks remains a fundamental challenge in disease ecology. Periodic outbreaks can be driven by several seasonally varying factors, including pulses of susceptible individuals through births, changes in host behaviour and social ...
