Journal ArticleDOI
Drought decreases incorporation of recent plant photosynthate into soil food webs regardless of their trophic complexity
Mathilde Chomel,Jocelyn M. Lavallee,Jocelyn M. Lavallee,Nil Alvarez-Segura,Francisco de Castro,Jennifer M. Rhymes,Jennifer M. Rhymes,Tancredi Caruso,Franciska T. de Vries,Elizabeth M. Baggs,Mark C. Emmerson,Richard D. Bardgett,David W. Johnson +12 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that drought has a strong effect on above‐ground–below‐ground linkages by reducing the flow of recent photosynthate, and emphasize the sensitivity of the critical pathway of recent Photosynthates transfer from plants to soil organisms to a drought perturbation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of fungal growth and activity in botanically diverse haymeadows: Effects of litter type and fertilizer additions
TL;DR: Determinants of fungal growth and activity in botanically diverse haymeadows:ects of litter type and fertilizer additions are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
High ecosystem multifunctionality under moderate grazing is associated with high plant but low bacterial diversity in a semi-arid steppe grassland
Xinyu Wang,Frank Yonghong Li,Yanan Wang,Xinmin Liu,Jianwei Cheng,Junzhen Zhang,Taogetao Baoyin,Richard D. Bardgett +7 more
TL;DR: Moderate grazing has better outcomes for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem multifunctionality than mowing and cessation of grazing and sustainable grazing management is a viable strategy to conserve both above- and belowground biodiversity and enhance the delivery of multiple ecosystem functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen addition alters composition, diversity, and functioning of microbial communities in mangrove soils : an incubation experiment
Hayley Craig,Rachael E. Antwis,Irene Cordero,Deborah Ashworth,Clare H. Robinson,Todd Z. Osborne,Richard D. Bardgett,Jennifer K. Rowntree,Loraé T. Simpson +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of nutrient addition on the diversity and structure of mangrove soil bacterial communities, as well as biomass and activity of the soil microbial community, under different oxygen conditions were assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of the membrane filter technique for comparative measurements of hyphal lengths in different grassland sites
TL;DR: The long-term removal of sheep grazing from an upland Agrostis-Festuca grassland has resulted in an increase in total hyphal lengths in the surface soil, which is compared to those obtained by other authors for a similar grassland using the agar film technique.
