TL;DR: In this article, a statistical analysis investigating the value of environmental data and microbial community structure independently and in combination for explaining rates of carbon and nitrogen cycling processes within 82 global datasets is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of litter quality on mineralization processes in managed and abandoned pasture soils in Southern Ecuador
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of invasive bracken on soil biogeochemical properties was investigated using soil samples taken from an active pasture with Setaria sphacelata as predominant grass and from an abandoned pasture overgrown by brackens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land-use and soil depth affect resource and microbial stoichiometry in a tropical mountain rainforest region of southern Ecuador
TL;DR: The results support the idea that soil biotic communities are stoichiometrically flexible in order to adapt to alterations in resource stoichiometry as a major force of land-use change to alter stoichiometric relationships and to structure biological systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urea fertilisation affected soil organic matter dynamics and microbial community structure in pasture soils of Southern Ecuador
TL;DR: The abolishment of energy limitation of the microbes seemed to be an important mechanism for the enhanced mineralisation of SOM and the structure of the microbial community was significantly different between sites, but urea fertilisation induced the same alteration in microbial community composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land-use change in a tropical mountain rainforest region of southern Ecuador affects soil microorganisms and nutrient cycling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of pasture conversion on soil microorganisms and their physiological responses with respect to soil carbon and nutrient cycling in the tropical mountain rainforest of southern Ecuador.
