TL;DR: In this paper, seasonal changes of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen (DON) concentrations within four molecular weight (MW) size fractions across an altitudinal gradient (from lowland to montane systems), and quantified individual amino acids and amino acid constituents of oligopeptidic-N, as well as nitrate and ammonium.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of below-ground herbivory and defoliation of a legume on nitrogen transfer to neighbouring plants.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that defoliation of a common grassland legume can substantially increase the transfer of its N to neighbouring plants by directly affecting below-ground N fluxes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linkages between soil biota, nitrogen availability, and plant nitrogen uptake in a mountain ecosystem in the Scottish Highlands
TL;DR: In this article, the seasonal partitioning of nitrogen (N) between plants and soil microorganisms on a mountain plateaux (Carex bigelowii-Racomitrium lanuginosum heath) was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Among- and within-species variation in plant litter decomposition in contrasting long-term chronosequences
TL;DR: The results point to among-species variation as a consistently important ecological driver, and highlight that decomposition processes are most likely to be highly responsive to gradients of soil fertility when significant species turnover occurs across the gradient.
Journal ArticleDOI
The extent and condition of heather on moorland in the uplands of England and Wales
TL;DR: The extent and condition of heather on moorland in England and Wales, and within different biogeographic regions, were estimated from a survey of 122 1-km squares as discussed by the authors.
