Drivers of inter-year variability of plant production and decomposers across contrasting island ecosystems [PDF]
, 2012 Despite the likely importance of inter-year dynamics of plant production and consumer biota for driving community- and ecosystem-level processes, very few studies have explored how and why these dynamics vary across contrasting ecosystems.

Non-utilization Is Not the Best Way to Manage Lowland Meadows in Hulun Buir
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Carex meyeriana lowland meadow is an important component of natural grasslands in Hulun Buir. However, in Hulun Buir, fewer studies have been conducted on C. meyeriana lowland meadows than on other grassland types.

Fungal community assembly in drought-stressed sorghum shows stochasticity, selection, and universal ecological dynamics. [PDF]
, 2020 Community assembly of crop-associated fungi is thought to be strongly influenced by deterministic selection exerted by the plant host, rather than stochastic processes.

Disparate responses of above- and belowground properties to soil disturbance by an invasive mammal [PDF]
, 2014 Introduced mammalian herbivores can negatively affect ecosystem structure and function if they introduce a novel disturbance to an ecosystem. For example, belowground foraging herbivores that bioturbate the soil, may alter process rates and community ...

Plant–animal communication [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2012 There are numerous excellent books about plant–pollinator and plant–herbivore interactions, and books about plant defence, but none of these covers the process of communication between plants and animals as comprehensively as this volume. The authors define communication as occuring ‘if traits of the sender stimulate the sensory systems of the receiver

terpenoids and plant communication [PDF]
Butlletí de la Institució Catalana d'Història Natural, 1997 Terpenoids are compounds containing an integer number of 5C units, the «syllables». There is an astonishing array of structures, the «words», resulting from the sequential combination of these basic five-carbon units in the familiar categories of C10 (mono-), C15 (sesqui-), C20 (di-), C30 (tri-) C40 (tetra-) and C>40 (poly-) terpenoids.

Microbial Population and Community Dynamics on Plant Roots and Their Feedbacks on Plant Communities [PDF]
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2012 The composition of the soil microbial community can be altered dramatically due to association with individual plant species, and these effects on the microbial community can have important feedbacks on plant ecology. Negative plant-soil feedback plays primary roles in maintaining plant community diversity, whereas positive plant-soil feedback may ...

Plant and soil microbe responses to light, warming and nitrogen addition in a temperate forest [PDF]
, 2018 1. Temperate forests across Europe and eastern North America have become denser since the 1950s due to less intensive forest management and global environmental changes such as nitrogen deposition and climate warming. Denser tree canopies result in lower
