Compared with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) forests, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) forests are hypothesized to have higher carbon (C) cycling rates and a more open nitrogen (N) cycle. To test this hypothesis, we synthesized 645 observations, including 22 variables related below-ground C N dynamics from 100 sites, where AM ECM co-occurred at the same site. Leaf litter quality was lower in than trees, leading greater forest floor stocks forests. By contrast, had significantly mineral soil...
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ( AMF ) mediate plant interspecific competition and community structure. However, the magnitude direction of effects underlying mechanisms are not clear. Here, we synthesized results 304 studies to evaluate how affect structure which abiotic biotic conditions in experimental design modify these effects. The on competitive ability (in terms response) differed markedly among functional groups. When inoculum was added, strongly enhanced N‐fixing forbs...
Abstract A prominent tree species coexistence mechanism suggests host-specific natural enemies inhibit seedling recruitment at high conspecific density (negative dependence). Natural-enemy-mediated dependence affects numerous populations, but its strength varies substantially among species. Understanding how with species’ traits and influences the dynamics of whole communities remains a challenge. Using three-year manipulative community-scale experiment in temperate forest, we show that...
Plastic film mulching and urea nitrogen fertilization are widely used in agricultural ecosystems, but both their long-term use may leave a negative legacy on crop growth, due to deleterious effects of plastic microplastic accumulation acidification soil, respectively. Here, we stopped covering soil with an experimental site that was previously covered for 33 years compared properties subsequent maize growth yield between plots were never the film. Soil moisture about 5–16% higher at mulched...
Abstract Plant roots employ diverse strategies to acquire soil nutrients, including direct nutrient uptake through absorptive fine and root hairs, scavenging nutrients by forming symbioses with mycorrhizal fungi, mining releasing exudates. However, whether these three are differently coordinated among phylogenetically closely related tree species how this coordination shifts stand development remains largely unclear. To fill knowledge gaps, we measured 13 morphological, architectural,...
While it is increasingly recognized that ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) tree species vary in their effects on soil nitrogen (N) cycling, little known about the mechanisms causing how ECM AM trees adapt to this variation. Using monoculture plots of six eight tropical planted a common garden, we examined whether contrasting N cycling could be explained by differences plant traits. Furthermore, rhizosphere transformations exploration fine roots were also measured assess...
Abstract Background Establishing mixed-species plantations is increasingly recognized as an important silvicultural measure because they are more productive than monocultures. This over-yielding attributed to the complementary resource use between component tree species, yet it remains largely unknown whether and how species adjust nutrient acquisition utilization strategies achieve use. Here, we measured soil nitrogen (N) availability transformation rates, leaf N resorption efficiency...
Plant roots can detect and react to the presence of competitors' roots. Intraspecific competition usually constrains root proliferation minimize overlap systems between competitors, especially in resource-impoverished environments. However, it remains largely unclear whether how this decline nutrient-scavenging capacity be complemented by other nutrient-acquisition strategies. Here, we leveraged 25 41-year-old Pinus Sylvestris var. mongolica monocultures with stand densities ranging from 350...
Precipitation pulses and different land use practices (such as grazing) play important roles in regulating soil respiration carbon balance of semiarid steppe ecosystems Inner Mongolia. However, the interactive effects grazing rain event magnitude on are still unknown. We conducted a manipulative experiment with simulated precipitation Mongolia to study possible responses pulse sizes examine how may affect pulses. Six water treatments (0, 5, 10, 25, 50 100 mm) were ungrazed grazed sites,...
Abstract Aim Most species of temperate regions are believed to have shifted lower latitudes or elevations during the glacial periods Quaternary. In this study we test whether phylogeographic assumption is also true for plateau zokor ( Eospalax baileyi ), a fossorial rodent endemic climate‐sensitive Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP), which ranges in elevation from 2600 4600 m. Location The QTP western China. Methods Phylogeographic analyses were conducted based on mitochondrial cytochrome b gene...
Abstract Aim Plants and their associated microbes influence nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems, yet we have a limited understanding of how soil acidity mediates the process. Here, investigate whether reported differences nitrogen (N) between forests dominated by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) trees ectomycorrhizal (ECM) are related to changes acid–base chemistry induced associations. Location Global. Time period 1969–2018. Major taxa studied Trees. Methods We measured synthesized...
Summary statement High solar radiation exacerbated the negative effects of extreme drought on plant growth and fine root traits. Ectomycorrhizae did not compensate for roots under stress. Fine biomass determined role ectomycorrhizal fungi, supporting energy limitation hypothesis.
Abstract We studied 1616 bp of mtDNA sequence in plateau pika Ochotona curzoniae sampled from 10 geographical regional groups to study the population history as well long‐term gene flow O. . detected 153 haplotypes 245 individuals. Mismatch analyses rapid expansion nine groups. Long‐term estimates revealed a unidirectional manner peripheral towards central In contrast, among was bidirectional. Our results indicate that most occurred 0.24–0.03 Mya, which mostly coincides with interglacial...
