Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2018 Litter decomposition, a key process by which recently fixed carbon is lost from ecosystems, is a function of environmental conditions and plant community characteristics.

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.We provide a historic overview of microscopic soil structure characterization from its founding father, Walter Kubiëna, to several technical revolutions like automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. In addition to technical advancements, we explore how concepts and research questions have evolved in time.

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 ...

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

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.The composition of organic matter (OM) was explained by effects of OM–cation interactions using polygalacturonic acid (PGA) as model substance. These effects were analyzed by COO− absorption bands in mid‐FTIR spectra. The change in intensity and wavenumber ranges of COO− bands in FTIR was quantified.

Leaf litter mixtures alter microbial community development: mechanisms for non-additive effects in litter decomposition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 To what extent microbial community composition can explain variability in ecosystem processes remains an open question in ecology. Microbial decomposer communities can change during litter decomposition due to biotic interactions and shifting substrate ...

Isotopic evidences for microbiologically mediated and direct C input to soil compounds from three different leaf litters during their decomposition [PDF]
, 2008 We show the potentiality of coupling together different compound-specific isotopic analyses in a laboratory experiment, where 13C-depleted leaf litter was incubated on a 13C-enriched soil. The aim of our study was to identify the soil compounds where the

The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.
