Nutrient addition, but not vertebrate predator exclusion, shapes arthropod communities and herbivory in a temperate forest

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
We experimentally manipulated top‐down (predator exclusion) and bottom‐up (fertilisation) forces in a temperate forest understory to test effects on arthropod densities, body sizes and herbivory. Predator exclusion had no detectable effect on arthropod density, herbivory damage or body size, whereas fertilisation increased herbivory damage and ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis of Thymus kotschyamus Boiss. & Hohen. in relation with soil elements during spring and autumn in Noujian Watershed (Lorestan province) [PDF]

Zīst/shināsī-i Giyāhī-i Īrān, 2016
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are the most important microorganisms of soil having an important role in soil fertility. In this research, the correlation between soil nutrient elements and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonization and spore numbers ...

Drivers of strigolactone diversity: P450s in strigolactone biosynthesis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the discovery and functional identification of cytochrome P450 in strigolactone biosynthesis, classifies and summarizes the members discovered so far, clarifies their biological significance, discusses the technology of strigolactone synthesis research, and finally describes some problems in strigolactone research and potential ...

Ecological predictors of plant responses to sequential herbivory: a meta‐analysis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plants evolved alongside herbivores for over 400 million years and show remarkable plasticity in responses to attack by multiple herbivores. However, it is often debated which herbivore traits predict plant responses and it is poorly understood how plant life‐history traits contribute to the variation observed in plant responses.

Yeast-mycorrhizae interaction as a strategy to improve tomato production

Lilloa
Inoculation with plant growth-promoting microorganisms such as bacteria, mycorrhizal fungi, and soil yeasts may play a promising role in sustainable plant production.

Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii – enemy release and plant–soil feedbacks

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

Leaf litter and fine roots have distinct effects on particulate and mineral‐associated soil organic matter in a tree common garden

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Soil organic matter (SOM) is primarily derived from leaf and root inputs, but the relative contributions of each are difficult to study without the use of isotopic tracers. Furthermore, associations between trees and mycorrhizal fungi can influence the production and persistence of SOM.
