Journal ArticleDOI
Enchytraeid worms (Oligochaeta) enhance mineralization of carbon in organic upland soils.
TL;DR: In this paper, the functional role of enchytraeid worms (Oligochaeta) in organic upland soils experimentally was investigated. But the role of these animals is little known.
Journal ArticleDOI
Legacy effects of drought on plant growth and the soil food web.
Franciska T. de Vries,Mira Liiri,Lisa Bjørnlund,Heikki Setälä,Soren Christensen,Richard D. Bardgett +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that plant belowground inputs have the potential to affect the recovery of belowground communities after drought, with implications for the functions they perform, such as C and N cycling.
Journal ArticleDOI
The response of plant diversity to ecosystem retrogression: evidence from contrasting long‐term chronosequences
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that forests with high tree diversity and biomass do not persist indefinitely in the long-term absence of catastrophic disturbance, and that similar patterns occur across the boreal, temperate and subtropical zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct uptake of soil nitrogen by mosses
TL;DR: It is demonstrated conclusively and for the first time, that mosses derive N from the soil, and it is suggested soil N uptake may be common among mosses, although further studies are required to test this prediction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid transfer of photosynthetic carbon through the plant-soil system in differently managed species-rich grasslands
TL;DR: The findings suggest that plant diversity restoration management may not directly affect the C assimilation or retention by individual plant taxa or groups of soil microbes, but it can impact on the fate of recent C by changing their relative abundances in the plant-soil system.
