Mass loss and nutrient release during the decomposition of sixteen types of plant litter with contrasting quality under three precipitation regimes

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Mass loss and nutrient release during litter decomposition drive biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the relationship between the litter decomposition process and the decomposition stage, precipitation, and litter quality has ...

Seasonal Dynamics of Soil Multitrophic Biodiversity, Co‐Occurrence Network and Assembly Mechanisms Under Typical Vegetation Restoration Patterns in Karst Region

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies often overlooked the dynamic effects of karst vegetation restoration on soil multi‐trophic biodiversity and the underlying community‐assembly mechanisms. To fill this gap, we performed a seasonal comparative analysis of soil biodiversity, co‐occurrence network architecture, and assembly processes across three representative ...

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

Litter decomposition and total carbon and nitrogen content data from a 24 month litterbag experiment with single-species and mixtures of four Alpine litter types

, 2020
In this study, litter decomposition patterns, non-additive effects, and spectral data of abundant alpine leaf litters were assessed in litterbag experiments containing single species and mixtures.

From Ashes to Action: Economic Growth, Ecological Footprint, and Forest Fire Resilience in Advanced and Emerging Economies

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest fires have escalated alarmingly, now consuming more than double the tree cover compared to two decades ago, signaling a growing and urgent environmental crisis. This study addresses the ever increasing global concern of forest fires, focusing on sustainable economic recovery while minimizing the ecological footprint amid mounting ...

Temporal dynamics of climate sensitivity of litter decomposition in a semi-arid grassland

Geoderma
Climate warming, precipitation changes, and reactive nitrogen (N) input are important environmental changes that can critically affect litter decomposition and soil carbon (C) dynamics.

Post‐Fire Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics: Decline and Recovery Over Two Decades

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfire can significantly alter soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in forest ecosystems, with complex temporal patterns following fire events. However, research on post‐fire SOC recovery remains limited, particularly in dry‐warm valley regions that are prone to frequent forest fires.

Nitrogen enrichment impacts on boreal litter decomposition are driven by changes in soil microbiota rather than litter quality

Scientific Reports, 2017
In nitrogen (N) limited boreal forests, N enrichment can impact litter decomposition by affecting litter quality and by changing the soil environment where litter decomposes.

Optimizing Soil Organic Matter Estimation Through Multi‐Factor Zoning and Tree‐Based Automated Learning

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil organic matter (SOM) is a key indicator of land degradation and soil functioning. It plays an essential role in nutrient cycling, soil structure, and long‐term agroecosystem resilience. The variations of surface cover, soil moisture and soil texture heterogeneity will affect the accuracy of SOM remote sensing mapping. This study developed

Dominant Tree Species and Litter Quality Govern Fungal Community Dynamics during Litter Decomposition

Journal of Fungi
Litter decomposition is a crucial biochemical process regulated by microbial activities in the forest ecosystem. However, the dynamic response of the fungal community during litter decomposition to vegetation changes is not well understood.
