Assessing radio transmitter weight effect and evaluation of northern bobwhite chick survival in coastal North Carolina

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies on the earliest life stages are essential to our ecological understanding of avian demography; however, monitoring technologies that allow tracking of small birds are still limited in a variety of ways. One critical limitation, until recently, has been the development of methods for attaching transmitters to young birds with precocial ...

Dietary and Ranging Behavior of Semi‐Free Ranging Lemur catta and Varecia rubra at Myakka City Lemur Reserve, Florida, USA

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Betsiboka, a female red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) eating Carolina redroot in the Tower forest. ABSTRACT Lemurs are severely threatened due to anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change. Therefore, understanding how lemurs adapt their diets to novel habitats is critically important for maintaining healthy wild populations and effectively managing ...

Afforestation mitigates soil nitrogen limitation by enhancing mineralization and lowering denitrification in central China

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Afforestation has profoundly altered soil nitrogen (N) transformation, particularly the key processes governing soil organic N and inorganic N dynamics which determine soil N availability.

Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

The litter C/N ratio governs the dual role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in decomposition and plant nutrition absorption

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) modulate litter decomposition and facilitate nutrient acquisition through the soil–mycorrhiza–plant pathway. Although litter chemistry has been considered an important factor affecting litter decomposition, how it regulates EcMF‐induced ...

Plant functional groups and root traits are linked to exudation rates of mature temperate trees

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root exudation affects soil biogeochemistry profoundly, yet it is rarely quantified in mature, field‐grown trees and its controls are poorly understood. We measured rates of carbon (C) exudation in 11 tree species that exhibit divergent root traits, including ...

Ectomycorrhizal community composition and extramatrical hyphal proportion predict soil carbon stocks at the landscape scale

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While fungal composition has been linked to soil carbon at global scales, these patterns are often difficult to disentangle from broad climatic gradients and species range limits. To address this constraint, we tested which aspects of ectomycorrhizal community structure
