Journal ArticleDOI
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
Contrasting environmental preferences of photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic soil cyanobacteria across the globe
Concha Cano-Díaz,Fernando T. Maestre,David J. Eldridge,Brajesh K. Singh,Richard D. Bardgett,Noah Fierer,Noah Fierer,Manuel Delgado-Baquerizo +7 more
TL;DR: The work of C.C.-D.M. and F.T.B. as mentioned in this paper is supported by a Ramon y Cajal grant from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (RYC2018-025483-I), and by the BES grant agreement No LRB17\1019 (MUSGONET).
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil biota, carbon cycling and crop plant biomass responses to biochar in a temperate mesocosm experiment
Sarah A. McCormack,Nick Ostle,Richard D. Bardgett,David Hopkins,David Hopkins,M. Glória Pereira,Adam J. Vanbergen +6 more
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.

TL;DR: The existing gaps in soil biodiversity and ecosystem function data across soil macroecological studies and >11,000 sampling sites are identified, including significant spatial, environmental, taxonomic, and functional gaps, and an almost complete absence of temporally explicit data.
