Journal ArticleDOI
Browsing by red deer negatively impacts on soil nitrogen availability in regenerating native forest
TL;DR: It is concluded that removal of browsing over 14 years has accelerated native woodland regeneration, leading to subsequent increases in soil C- and N- mineralisation, further increasing plant N supply and tree growth in this ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI
The short-term effects of cessation of fertiliser applications, liming, and grazing on microbial biomass and activity in a reseeded upland grassland soil
TL;DR: The cessation of fertiliser applications on a limed and grazed grassland had no effect on microbial biomass measurements, enzyme activities, or respiration, and a significant negative linear relationship was found between increasing soil acidity and dehydrogenase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enchytraeid worm (Oligochaeta) influences on microbial community structure, nutrient dynamics and plant growth in blanket peat subjected to warming
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the interactions between a dominant soil animal of a blanket peat ecosystem (Enchytraeidae, Oligochaeta) and microbes in response to soil warming, and the consequences of these interactions for nutrient mineralisation and the growth of the graminoid Festuca ovina L.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: All the indicators were able to differentiate between the sites but, as no single indicator was sensitive to all the differences in land use intensity, it is suggested that an indicator programme should be based upon a suite of different indicators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant nitrogen-use strategy as a driver of rhizosphere archaeal and bacterial ammonia oxidiser abundance
Cécile Thion,Cécile Thion,Jessica D. Poirel,Thomas Cornulier,Franciska T. de Vries,Richard D. Bardgett,James I. Prosser +6 more
TL;DR: Findings provide a mechanistic basis for plant-ammonia oxidiser interactions and for links between plant functional traits and ammonia oxidiser ecology.
