Production and decay of mangrove (Avicennia marina subsp. australasica) detritus and its effects on coastal benthic communities

, 2012
Temperate mangrove forests have been poorly studied compared to their tropical counterparts, because they constitute just 1.4% of the global mangrove forest area. Research from tropical mangrove forests suggests they are open systems that provide a large

Factors controlling spatio-temporal variation in carbon dioxide efflux from surface litter, roots, and soil organic matter at four rain forest sites in the eastern Amazon [PDF]

, 2007
This study explored biotic and abiotic causes for spatio-temporal variation in soil respiration from surface litter, roots, and soil organic matter over one year at four rain forest sites with different vegetation structures and soil types in the eastern

Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

Proteomic Profiling of Primary Hippocampal Neurons Reveals Noncanonical GFAP Expression and Metabolic Adaptations in Glia‐Free Culture

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite their widespread use as a research model, a comprehensive, quantitative proteomic profile of the cultured hippocampal neurons has remained unexplored. Here, we provide the first global proteomic characterization of primary murine hippocampal neurons cultured for 14 days under near‐physiological glucose conditions (2.5 mM).

Simulating Arctic Greening: Microbial Responses in Thawing Yedoma Permafrost

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arctic permafrost soils and sediments store vast amounts of organic carbon. With global warming intensifying, these soils are increasingly exposed to microbial decomposition. Further, Arctic warming and longer growing seasons drive regional greening, potentially accelerating the degradation of the previously frozen organic matter through ...

Global patterns and drivers of decomposition of mixed-species litter

Geoderma
Mixed-species litter modifies decomposition rates through complex interplays driven by species composition and functional traits of litter. However, there remains no consensus on how ecosystem type, climate, species traits, and decomposition stage ...

Simulated elephant foraging alters tree root exudation rates: Species‐specific responses and implications for belowground carbon dynamics in tropical forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

The Impact of Litter Decomposition on Soil Organic Carbon Stability in Coastal Shelter Forests Under Thinning

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao
[Objective] To elucidate the characteristics of litter decomposition and changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions under thinning, and to reveal the impact of litter decomposition on the stability of SOC in coastal shelter forests under thinning ...

Solar farms can mitigate negative impacts of whiplash weather on plant communities in a dryland ecosystem

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Utility‐scale solar energy (USSE) development generates novel questions regarding coupling clean energy production with terrestrial ecosystem services (e.g., forage production, pollinator support). We found that a USSE array sited in a fallowed cropland maintained a reseeded native plant community even a decade post‐restoration and that the array ...

Close‐to‐nature management regulates ecosystem carbon storage through its effects on vegetation community structure in Pinus massoniana plantations

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Forest plantations play an increasingly important role in climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration, yet management strategies that enhance long‐term ecosystem carbon storage remain insufficiently understood. We investigated the effects of more than a decade of close‐to‐nature management on community structure and ecosystem carbon storage ...
