Aphids decelerate litter nitrogen mineralization through changes in litter quality [PDF]
1. Plant-herbivore interactions can be important factors affecting ecosystem functions. Herbivorous insects may have significant impacts on litter decomposition through modification of plant litter quality and quantity.

myo‐Inositol's role in laying hens’ active gastrointestinal microbiota: a strain comparison
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND myo‐Inositol (MI) is a cyclitol involved in cellular metabolism and phytate degradation, yet its influence on the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) microbiota of laying hens remains poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of graded dietary MI supplementation on the active GIT microbial communities of two commercial laying ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Alpine sandy land on the Tibetan Plateau is fragile, with poorly developed soils, low nutrient availability, and weak biological resilience. Vegetation restoration is widely used to improve soil functioning, yet how microbial nutrient limitation and life‐history strategies vary among restoration modes remains unclear.

Effects of litter quality and latitude on decomposition.
, 2017 Decomposition of organic material (litter) is an important part of the global carbon cycle. Environmental conditions, litter quality and the microbial community are the main factors affecting decomposition. The decomposition is divided into two phases, one fast initial phase and one slow second phase.

Topographic and Climatic Determinants of Soil Organic Carbon Across Landscapes: A Meta‐Analysis
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The soil is the greatest natural store of organic carbon, holding between 1500 to 1550 Pg C of organic carbon at the top 100 cm of the soil globally—roughly twice the carbon pool in the atmosphere. The spatial distribution of this stock is controlled by a complex chain of controls: topographic position regulates the hydrological redistribution,
