Nitrogen fertilization promotes wheat–weed coexistence through niche differentiation and fitness equalization

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nitrogen fertilization is commonly applied to increase crop yields in agroecosystems. Beyond its direct benefits, nitrogen fertilization may also influence crop production indirectly by altering crop–weed competition.

Soil legacy effects on a temperate tree species depend on the mycorrhizal types and phylogenetic distance of the conditioning trees

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Associations of trees with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi often shape distinct microbial communities in soils. Whether this distinction can create different soil legacies and to what extent such legacies are correlated to phylogenetic ...

Savanna soil carbon accrual occurs through particulate organic matter from grass rather than tree biomass, regardless of atmospheric CO2 levels

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Afforestation schemes in savannas are increasingly promoted as a carbon storage strategy despite threats to biodiversity. We also lack a clear understanding of how trees and grasses differentially contribute to the major carbon store in savannas, that is, soil organic ...

Facilitation and competition between Acacia species and phosphorus‐mobilising plants in severely phosphorus‐impoverished habitats

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants in fire‐prone severely phosphorus (P)‐impoverished environments exhibit diverse P‐acquisition strategies coordinated with root morphological traits. Fire transiently enhances plant‐available soil P, making efficient post‐fire P acquisition crucial for seedling ...
