Journal ArticleDOI
Soil microbial nutrient constraints along a tropical forest elevation gradient: a belowground test of a biogeochemical paradigm
Andrew T. Nottingham,Benjamin L. Turner,Jeanette Whitaker,Nick Ostle,Niall P. McNamara,Richard D. Bardgett,Norma Salinas,Norma Salinas,Norma Salinas,Patrick Meir,Patrick Meir +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured indices of soil microbial nutrient status in lowland, sub-montane and montane tropical forests along a natural gradient spanning 3400 m in elevation in the Peruvian Andes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid peptide metabolism: A major component of soil nitrogen cycling?
Mark Farrell,Mark Farrell,Mark Farrell,Paul W. Hill,Sudas D. Wanniarachchi,John Farrar,Richard D. Bardgett,Davey L. Jones +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used 14C-labeled L-alanine, L-dialanine, and L-trialanine in a series of incubation experiments to investigate peptide utilization rates by soil microbes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long‐term change in vegetation and soil microbial communities during the phased restoration of traditional meadow grassland
R. S. Smith,Robert Shiel,Richard D. Bardgett,D. Millward,P. Corkhill,P. Evans,Helen Quirk,Phil J. Hobbs,S. T. Kometa +8 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that biodiversity goals for upland meadows need to plan beyond the typical 5-10-year management agreement period of agri-environment schemes, and demonstrate change in soil microbial communities, linked to the growth of legumes, might be important to facilitate future increases in plant diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of collembolan grazing on fungal activity in differently managed upland pastures: A microcosm study
TL;DR: Laboratory microcosms containing litter from three tussock grasslands were used to assess the impact of grazing by a collembolan on the abundance, nutrient release, and respiration of the saprotrophic fungus, Phoma exigua.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity and environmental context predict dung beetle-mediated seed dispersal in a tropical forest field experiment
Hannah M. Griffiths,Hannah M. Griffiths,Julio Louzada,Julio Louzada,Richard D. Bardgett,Richard D. Bardgett,Wallace Beiroz,Wallace Beiroz,Filipe França,Filipe França,Daniel Tregidgo,Daniel Tregidgo,Jos Barlow,Jos Barlow +13 more
TL;DR: This work experimentally tested how the functional diversity of dung beetle communities affects seed dispersal and how BEF relationships varied with environmental context, by replicating the experiments under contrasting soil conditions in the Brazilian Amazon.
