Dual Isotopes Tracing Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics during Leguminous and Non-Leguminous Litter Decomposition under Controlled Precipitation

Agronomy, 2023
Plant litter decomposition figures importantly in the cycling of C and N pools in terrestrial ecosystems. We investigated how C and N fluxes changed during the decomposition of leguminous and non-leguminous leaf litters, and how these processes responded

Molecular Analyses of the Distribution and Function of Diazotrophic Rhizobia and Methanotrophs in the Tissues and Rhizosphere of Non-Leguminous Plants

Plants, 2019
Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) by plants and its bacterial associations represent an important natural system for capturing atmospheric dinitrogen (N2) and processing it into a reactive form of nitrogen through enzymatic reduction.

Diversity and structural differences of bacterial microbial communities in rhizocompartments of desert leguminous plants.

PLoS ONE, 2020
By assessing diversity variations of bacterial communities under different rhizocompartment types (i.e., roots, rhizosphere soil, root zone soil, and inter-shrub bulk soil), we explore the structural difference of bacterial communities in different root ...

Abiotic and Biotic Limitations to Nodulation by Leguminous Cover Crops in South Texas

Agriculture (Switzerland), 2019
Many farms use leguminous cover crops as a nutrient management strategy to reduce their need for nitrogen fertilizer. When they are effective, leguminous cover crops are a valuable tool for sustainable nutrient management.

Leguminous and gramineous plant silages display unique characteristics of bacterial community ecology [PDF]

Environmental Microbiome
Background Silage is the most important part of a ruminant diet and is also a renewable feedstock. Leguminous and gramineous plants are the main materials used to make silage. However, the general characteristics of silage fermentation and the mechanisms

Leguminous species sequester more carbon than gramineous species in cultivated grasslands of a semi-arid area [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2017
The establishment of grasslands on abandoned cropland has been proposed as an effective method to mitigate climate change. In this study, five cultivated grasslands (three leguminous species and two gramineous species), one abandoned cropland, and one ...

Investigating of the Ability of some Cover Crops to Weeds Control [PDF]

Ikufīziyuluzhī-i Giyāhān-i Zirā̒ī, 2021
To investigate the effect of some cover crops incontroling weed, two experiments were conducted during the fall of 2018 at Namin in Ardabil province both with three replications.The first experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design ...

Leguminous plants significantly increase soil nitrogen cycling across global climates and ecosystem types

Global Change Biology, 2023
Leguminous plants are an important component of terrestrial ecosystems and significantly increase soil nitrogen (N) cycling and availability, which affects productivity in most ecosystems.

Responses in Growth and Anatomical Traits of Two Subtropical Tree Species to Nitrogen Addition, Drought, and Their Interactions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Nitrogen (N) deposition and drought are two major stressors that influence tree growth and propagation. However, few studies have investigated their interactions.
