Contrasting drivers of phosphorus dynamics across soil aggregates: The role of nutrient enrichment and mowing

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2918-2931, September 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phosphorus (P) is an essential but often limiting nutrient for sustaining grassland ecosystem functions. Its soil dynamics are highly sensitive to land management practices and may vary across soil aggregate sizes due to differences in biotic and abiotic factors ...

Data from: Fine litterfall in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

, 2017
Litterfall is an essential component of tropical forest productivity, transferring nutrients from the vegetation back to soils. Here, we summarize the data from 105 estimates of fine litterfall production from 45 sites in the Atlantic Forest domain ...

Different Patterns Of Nutrient Cycling In Contiguous Phytophysiognomies Of Atlantic Forest, Brazil

Floresta e Ambiente, 2020
The present study aimed to evaluate fine aboveground litterfall, deposition of nitrogen and phosphorus from total litterfall and leaf litter decomposition in areas of tall forest (Mata Alta) and low forest on sandy soils (Mussununga) in southeastern ...

Carbon‐Nutrient Interactions Under Insect Disturbance Simulated by the Land‐Surface Model QUINCY 21edff48

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Insect outbreaks significantly impact tree mortality and carbon‐nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems, yet most terrestrial biosphere models do not represent insect disturbances due to the complexity of nutrient processes and limited data. To address this gap, we implemented a new insect impacts module in the QUINCY (Quantifying Interactions ...

Quantity and quality of litterfall in young oak stands

Journal of Forest Science, 2014
Litterfall, an important component of the nutrient cycle in forest ecosystems, was measured for 9 years in young oak stands on two localities classified as beech-oak climax (Fageto-Quercetum).

Trade‐offs between soil biodiversity and agricultural expansion: Evidence from litter decomposition dynamics in Madagascar

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2560-2574, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐Field Advantage (HFA) theory—positing that litter decomposes faster at its site of origin—allows us to disentangle the respective influences of litter quality, soil biota composition, and microclimate on shifts in litter decomposition following land use conversion.

Multi‐trophic bottom‐up effects of plant functional diversity on arthropod communities in a tropical forest restoration experiment

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2449-2461, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant diversity affects both ecosystem functioning and the functional and taxonomic diversity of multiple trophic levels. However, in the literature, it is unclear if this pattern is driven by species richness per se or by the functional diversity or composition (e.g ...

Temperate Forest Floors: Ecosystem Hubs in Transition?

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
The forest floor (FF) is a key component of carbon, nutrient, and water cycling and represents the most biologically active part of forest soils. Despite its importance, its response to environmental change and forest management remains insufficiently studied.

Physiological Controls on Carbon Fluxes and Biomass Production in Miscanthus: Insights From a Process‐Based Agroecosystem Model

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Miscanthus productivity is governed by interacting plant processes from phenology and canopy development to carbon assimilation. Data‐constrained simulations reveal that photosynthetic protein allocation sets productivity potential, while electron transport capacity remains a key regulator of additional productivity gains.

Arctic plants can take up inorganic nitrogen year‐round

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1694-1708, August 2026.
Schematic overview of year‐round, Arctic seasonal periods as used throughout the paper and their relation to the 15 repeated measuring periods (top) and the three a priori contrasts (middle) used for statistical testing of seasonality in N‐uptake. Summary Arctic tundra experiences strong climatic seasonality, with cold and long winters, but effective ...
