Assessing long-term nutrient and lime enrichment effects on a subtropical South African grassland

Naledi Zama et al.

Summary: Nutrient enrichment affects grassland ecosystem structure, resulting in decreased species richness and increased productivity. Long-term nutrient enrichment can alter soil fertility. Different forms of nitrogen have different effects on grass and forb species composition, while increasing levels of ammonium sulfate lead to decreased species richness due to increased soil acidity and aluminum concentrations.

Stronger fertilization effects on aboveground versus belowground plant properties across nine US grasslands

Adrienne B. B. Keller et al.

Summary: Increased nutrient inputs from anthropogenic activities are expected to enhance primary productivity in terrestrial ecosystems. However, changes in allocation between aboveground and belowground areas in response to nutrient additions have different effects on soil carbon storage. Roots play a major role in soil carbon storage, therefore understanding belowground net primary productivity (BNPP) and biomass responses to changes in nutrient availability is crucial for predicting carbon-climate feedbacks.

Aluminum mobilization as influenced by soil organic matter during soil and mineral acidification: A constant pH study

Ke-wei Li et al.

Summary: Soil acidification is a challenge to food security due to the production of toxic free aluminum ions. This study investigated the effect of different minerals and organic matter on the exchangeable aluminum ions during soil acidification. The results showed that montmorillonite consumed more acid than kaolinite due to its larger cation exchange capacity. Additionally, the presence of more organic matter in Ultisols improved their acid buffering performance and inhibited the mobilization of aluminum ions.

Soil microbes and associated extracellular enzymes largely impact nutrient bioavailability in acidic and nutrient poor grassland ecosystem soils

Khululwa Ndabankulu et al.

Summary: Understanding the role of soil microbes and their associated extracellular enzymes in grassland nutrient dynamics is important for assessing the functioning of grassland ecosystems. This study found that the application of superphosphate and lime influenced the microbial diversity and enzyme activities in nutrient-poor grassland soils, which in turn affected nutrient bioavailability.

Water uptake plasticity of savanna trees in encroached grassland: small trees match the mature trees

Seraphine Grellier et al.

Summary: The study revealed a strong correlation between the depth of water uptake by Vachellia sieberiana trees in a humid grassland of South Africa and various factors such as tree size and position on the slope. The findings suggest that smaller trees exhibit similar plasticity in water uptake as taller trees and can adjust their water uptake depth between seasons, potentially increasing their chances of maturation and promoting tree encroachment in grasslands.

Chemical pattern of vegetation and topsoil of rangeland fertilized over 21 years with phosphorus sources and limestone

Andre Somavilla et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of phosphorus fertilizer and limestone applications on soil properties, phosphorus availability, aluminum neutralization, and rangeland productivity in the Pampa's rangeland in South America. Results showed that rock phosphate application increased soil phosphorus content, while lime treatment significantly improved soil pH and aluminum neutralization. However, the effects of fertilization and limestone amendments were limited to short-term, with no significant response in rangeland dry matter production after more than four years since the last fertilization.

Trifolium repens and T. subterraneum modify their nodule microbiome in response to soil pH

A. S. Shah et al.

Summary: The research results suggest that soil pH influences the community structure of bacteria within the nodules, with a more pronounced effect on non-Rhizobium taxa. The host strongly influenced the diversity of bacteria in the nodules, with subterranean clover nodules showing higher α diversity than white clover nodules.

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Interplay in Lupin Root Nodules and Cluster Roots

Jose J. Pueyo et al.

Summary: Nitrogen and phosphorus are crucial plant nutrients that can affect plant growth and crop yield. Understanding the interactions between nitrogen and phosphorus is important for studying plant adaptation to nutrient deficiencies. Lupins are unique plants that can develop new organs under N and P deficiencies, such as symbiotic nodules and cluster roots, which help mobilize otherwise unavailable phosphorus in the soil. The signaling mechanisms of N and P include factors like phytohormones and miRNAs, and the combination of these mechanisms reveals interactive regulation pathways in nodules and cluster roots, aiding in nutrient recycling processes.
