Dominant Species Drive Biomass and Diversity Responses to Nutrient Inputs
In a mesic grassland co‐limited by nitrogen and phosphorus, responses in plant community diversity and particularly of dominant species do not always correspond to responses in aboveground net primary productivity and functional group biomass production.

Definition of homogeneous fertility areas through factorial and geostatistical analysis
In a flat lot of 4 ha, with dry warm climate and Mollisols were determined the bulk density, pH and content of sand, silt, clay, organic matter, Ca, Mg, K and P, in the first 150mm of soil, doing a sampling in a semi-regular grid with cell size of 25 x ...

Dissimilar responses of fungal and bacterial communities to soil transplantation simulating abrupt climate changes. [PDF]
Both fungi and bacteria play essential roles in regulating soil carbon cycling. To predict future carbon stability, it is imperative to understand their responses to environmental changes, which is subject to large uncertainty.

Community‐based long‐term management to address reinvasion of restored grassland vernal wetlands
Abstract Exotic annual grasses can dominate ecosystems by producing a thick layer of dead plant litter, hereafter “thatch,” which promotes the regeneration of exotic grasses and inhibits native plants. Vernal pool wetlands within a grassland matrix are threatened by these exotic annual grasses, meriting the need for long‐term management.

Soil Organic Matter Stabilization by Polyvalent Cations in a Buried Alkaline Soil
Abstract Buried paleosols can store large quantities of organic carbon (C), much of which persists for millennia due to isolation from surface processes that promote decomposition. Subsoil organic matter (SOM) persistence is often enhanced by mineral associations and ionic conditions—particularly high clay content and polyvalent cations—that limit ...

Elevated moisture stimulates carbon loss from mineral soils by releasing protected organic matter
The effect of soil moisture on microbial activity and soil carbon storage remains unclear. Here, via Mollisol incubation experiments, the authors show elevated soil moisture can accelerate total carbon loss by facilitating microbial access to previously ...

Soil physical quality of Mollisols quantified by a global index [PDF]
Indicators synthesizing the state of the structural quality and the function of the porous system are useful for assessing soil production capacity as well as the way it may serve natural ecosystems. This research aimed (i) to determine indicators of the state and function of the porous system, (ii) to use them to derive a global index to characterize ...
