Plant and soil responses to defoliation: a comparative study of grass species with contrasting life history strategies

TL;DR: The results suggest that plant and soil responses to defoliation are reasonably consistent across a broad range of grass species, with only subtle inter-specific differences among species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soil biota, carbon cycling and crop plant biomass responses to biochar in a temperate mesocosm experiment

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of biochar, soil texture, and crop species treatments on microbial biomass (PFLA), soil invertebrate density, crop biomass and ecosystem CO2 flux in plant-soil mesocosms were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of resource unit distribution and quality on the activity of soil fungi in a particulate medium.

TL;DR: The results indicate that these fungi can adjust their growth patterns in response to fragment density so as to maximize foraging efficiency and biomass production on solid media was directly related to substrate (carbohydrate) availability.
