TLDR
It is postulate that rhizosphere priming may enhance N supply to plants in systems that are N limited, but thatrhizospherePriming may not occur in Systems that are phosphorus (P) limited, because under P limitation, rhizodeposition may be used for mobilization of P, rather than for decomposition of SOM.Abstract:
Rhizosphere priming is the change in decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) caused by root activity. Rhizosphere priming plays a crucial role in soil carbon (C) dynamics and their response to global climate change. Rhizosphere priming may be affected by soil nutrient availability, but rhizosphere priming itself can also affect nutrient supply to plants. These interactive effects may be of particular relevance in understanding the sustained increase in plant growth and nutrient supply in response to a rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration. We examined how these interactions were affected by elevated CO2 in two similar semiarid grassland field studies. We found that an increase in rhizosphere priming enhanced the release of nitrogen (N) through decomposition of a larger fraction of SOM in one study, but not in the other. We postulate that rhizosphere priming may enhance N supply to plants in systems that are N limited, but that rhizosphere priming may not occur in systems that are phosphorus (P) limited. Under P limitation, rhizodeposition may be used for mobilisation of P, rather than for decomposition of SOM. Therefore, with increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations, rhizosphere priming may play a larger role in affecting C sequestration in N poor than in P poor soils.read more

Soil carbon sequestration by grasslands to mitigate climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted field experiments on regenerating grasslands with different time period of extensive land management (land management history) and performing field experiments to increase understanding of soil organic carbon storage in grasslands in order to improve knowledge for greater soil C sequestration.

The effects of green waste compost on soil N, P, K, and organic matter fractions in forestry soils: elemental analysis evaluation
TL;DR: In this paper, green waste compost significantly increased soil N, P, K, and HE fractions, and the CH/CC components of the HA structures made the biggest contribution to soil N and P in forestry soil.

Plot diversity differentially affects the chemical composition of leaves, roots and root exudates in four subtropical tree species
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the chemical diversity of leaves, roots and root exudates increases with tree diversity, and the strength of this diversity effect varied among leaves, root and root extracts.
Moving beyond mass loss: Advancing understanding about the fate of decomposing leaf litter and pyrogenic organic matter in the mineral soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of the state-of-the-art tools for self-awareness and self-knowledge in the Internet, including tools and techniques.

Phosphorus Shortage Induces an Increase in Root Exudation in Fifteen Eucalypts Species
Sara Adrián López de Andrade,Alexandre Augusto Borghi,Vinicius Henrique De Oliveira,Larissa de Moraes Gouveia,Ana Paula Izidoro Martins,Paulo Mazzafera +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , root exudation profiles of 15 eucalypt species were evaluated in response to a P shortage and if the ability to exude organic compounds was related to P and Mn accumulation in the shoots.

TL;DR: A large-scale meta-analysis of experimental enrichments shows that P limitation is equally strong across these major habitats and that N and P limitation are equivalent within both terrestrial and freshwater systems.

Nitrogen limitation on land and in the sea: How can it occur?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine both how the biogeochemistry of the nitrogen cycle could cause limitation to develop, and how nitrogen limitation could persist as a consequence of processes that prevent or reduce nitrogen fixation.
