Fungal ecological strategies reflected in gene transcription - a case study of two litter decomposers. [PDF]

, 2019
Microbial communities interplay with their environment through their functional traits that can be a response or an effect on the environment. Here, we explore how a functional trait-the decomposition of organic matter, can be addressed based on genetic ...

Microbial community functioning during plant litter decomposition

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractMicrobial life in soil is fueled by dissolved organic matter (DOM) that leaches from the litter layer. It is well known that decomposer communities adapt to the available litter source, but it remains unclear if they functionally compete or synergistically address different litter types.

Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.

Grazing promotes decomposition of litter in alpine meadow through decoupling climate

Ecological Indicators
Litter decomposition plays a critical process driving the cycling of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). However, the combined effects of grazing system (GS) and grazing intensity (GI) on litter decomposition remain unclear.

Within-species variation in foliar chemistry influences aquatic leaf litter decomposition [PDF]

, 2007
Leaf-litter inputs provide substrate and energy to stream systems. These contributions vary based on species-specific differences in litter quality, but little is known about how differences in litter quality within a species can affect ecosystem ...

By‐product of heparin extraction as a sustainable alternative to enhance the use of nitrogen in agriculture

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates the potential of a new organic fertilizer derived from porcine intestinal mucosa (designated BHE), a by‐product of the heparin extraction process, as a sustainable nitrogen (N) source for agriculture. The work was conducted in two stages: (i) chemical and spectroscopic characterization of BHE compared with poultry litter ...

Contribution of Litter and Root to Soil Nutrients in Different Rocky Desertification Grasslands in a Karst Area

Plants
Litter and root decomposition is an important source of soil organic matter and nutrients. To ascertain the contribution of litter and root to natural grassland nutrients in rocky desertification areas, from March 2017 to January 2018, the continuous ...

Mass loss and nutrient dynamics during litter decomposition in response to warming and nitrogen addition in a desert steppe [PDF]

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2018
Plant litter decomposition has been studied extensively in the context of both warming and increased atmospheric nitrogen deposition. However, the temporal patterns of mass loss and nutrient release in response to warming and nitrogen addition remain ...

Fungi are involved in the effects of litter mixtures on consumption by shredders [PDF]

, 2012
1. Decomposition of litter mixtures in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems often shows non- additive diversity effects on decomposition rate, generally interpreted in streams as a result of the feeding activity of macroinvertebrates.
