Intrapopulation Genotypic Variation of Foliar Secondary Chemistry during Leaf Senescence and Litter Decomposition in Silver Birch (Betula pendula) [PDF]
Abundant secondary metabolites, such as condensed tannins, and their interpopulation genotypic variation can remain through plant leaf senescence and affect litter decomposition.

The effect of simulated acid rain on microbial community structure in decomposing leaf litter [PDF]
Acid deposition is one of the most serious environmental problems in ecosystems. The present study surveyed the effects of simulated acid rain on leaf litter mass loss and microbial community in the decomposing leaf litter of Sorbus anifolia in a ...

Litter mixing promoted decomposition and altered microbial community in common bean root litter
Background Decomposition of plant litter is a key driver of carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Mixing litters of different plant species may alter the decomposition rate, but its effect on the microbial decomposer community in plant ...

Typhoon enhancement of N and P release from litter and changes in the litter N : P ratio in a subtropical tidal wetland [PDF]
Litter production and decomposition are key processes controlling the capacity of wetland to store and cycle carbon(C)and nutrients. Typhoons deposit large amounts of green and semi-green(between green and withered)plant tissues and withered litter ...

Neuid: A Novel Neuron‐Enriched LncRNA that Connects Epigenetic Gene Silencing to Alzheimer's Disease
ABSTRACT The increasing evidence that non‐coding RNAs can become deregulated during pathogenesis is dramatically expanding the space for drug discovery beyond the protein‐coding genome. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key regulators of cellular function, yet most remain uncharacterized.

Are low-producing plants sequestering carbon at a geater rate than high-producing plants? : a test within the genus Chionochloa : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Plant life and primary production play an important role in the global carbon (C) cycle through the fixing of atmospheric C into the terrestrial biosphere. However, the sequestration of C into the soil not only depends on the rate of plant productivity,

Evaluating litter yield and decomposition for re-vegetated mangroves in a subtropical mudflat [PDF]
Field monitoring and incubation experiments were conducted to evaluate the litter yield and examine the decomposition of the litter of three representative mangrove species frequently used for mangrove re-vegetation in a subtropical mudflat on the South ...

Bioenergy Cropping Reduces the Spatiotemporal Scaling of Soil Bacterial Biodiversity
Consistent with patterns observed in plant and animal communities, soil bacterial communities exhibit significant species–time–area and phylogenetic–time–area relationships independent of nested structure. Bioenergy cropping significantly reduces the spatiotemporal scaling rates, particularly in sandy loam soils.
