Niche partitioning overrides interspecific competition to determine plant species distributions along a nutrient gradient

Elizabeth M. Wandrag et al.

Summary: Changes in niche availability and overlap play a significant role in driving changes in plant composition along resource gradients, while competitive exclusion is rare. This finding highlights the importance of considering recruitment processes in understanding the structuring of plant communities.

Sex-specific interactions shape root phenolics and rhizosphere microbial communities in Populus cathayana

Zhichao Xia et al.

Summary: The study revealed significant impacts of tree sex and neighbor effects on root phenolics and rhizosphere microbiomes, with greater variability in metabolic composition of females and improved diversity of bacteria and fungi in mixed plantations. Bacterial and fungal diversity were correlated with specific phenolic metabolites, showing positive responses to root benzoic acid and pinoresinol.

Foliar herbivory on plants creates soil legacy effects that impact future insect herbivore growth via changes in plant community biomass allocation

Robin Heinen et al.

Summary: Plants leave legacy effects in the soil, which can influence future generations of plants and associated herbivores. In a greenhouse study, we exposed 10 plant species to insect herbivory or kept them herbivore-free, and then used the soil legacies to grow plant communities. We found that herbivore-induced soil legacies affected responding herbivores through changes in plant community shoot: root ratios, and had negative effects on the growth of plants of the same functional group.

Ammonium and nitrate affect sexually different responses to salt stress in Populus cathayana

Miao Liu et al.

Summary: This study revealed the gender-dependent regulation of salt stress tolerance by nitrogen forms, which was associated with the maintenance of the K+/Na+ ratio in tissues, the ability of Na+ translocation to the shoots, and the transcriptional regulation of bark cell wall and proteolysis profiles in response to salt stress under both nitrogen forms.

Sex-specific nitrogen allocation tradeoffs in the leaves of Populus cathayana cuttings under salt and drought stress

Miao Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigated nitrogen allocation in photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic apparatus of Populus cathayana Rehder females and males under drought, salt, and their combination. The results showed that males had lower leaf N allocation and higher photosynthetic N use efficiency, while females had higher allocation of N into non-protein N. Leaf N allocation was related to plant responses to different stress treatments, and there were intersexual and intrasexual differences in N allocation.

N-induced root exudates mediate the rhizosphere fungal assembly and affect species coexistence

Jie Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of short-term nitrogen addition on the assembly process and species coexistence of fungal communities in plant-soil systems. The results showed that nitrogen addition influenced the diversity, composition, and co-occurrence networks of fungal communities in both rhizosphere and bulk soils, with associations with root exudates.

Covariations and trade-offs of phosphorus (P) acquisition strategies in dioecious Populus euphratica as affected by soil water availability

Zhichao Xia et al.

Summary: Dioecious species are vulnerable to climate change due to sex-specific responses to drought, and differences in functional traits between female and male plants. In this study, we found that females had greater specific root length and higher phosphorus concentration under well-watered conditions, while males exhibited distinct physiological adjustments and maintained higher functional microbial stability under water deficiency. Our findings highlight the covariations and trade-offs in functional traits and shed light on the mitigation strategies of males and females under resource shortage.

Root exudate signals in plant-plant interactions

Nan-Qi Wang et al.

Summary: Plant-to-plant signalling plays a key role in interactions among plant species, with root exudates serving as key players in conveying information on local conditions and driving facilitation both within and between species. Thorough understanding of root-secreted chemical signals and their mechanisms holds ecological implications and potential applications for sustainable agriculture.

Elevated temperature and CO2 interactively modulate sexual competition and ecophysiological responses of dioecious Populus cathayana

Juan Chen et al.

Summary: The study found that under elevated temperature and CO2 conditions, the sex-specific responses of dioecious plants are modulated by interactions, and competition patterns further affect the eco-physiological responses to climate change treatments.

Comparing root exudate collection techniques: An improved hybrid method

Alex Williams et al.

Summary: Plant-microbe interactions are crucial for ecosystem functioning and root exudates play a key role in communication between plants and microbes. Hybrid root exudate collection methods offer an ecologically relevant alternative, but a recovery period after root washing is critical to prevent bias. The hybrid method yields exudates that discriminate between species and provide a diverse metabolome for better identification of metabolites.

Functional diversity and identity of plant genotypes regulate rhizodeposition and soil microbial activity

Marina Semchenko et al.

Summary: Our study found that plant genotypic diversity and identity within Anthoxanthum odoratum affects rhizodeposition and associated microbial activity, leading to changes in soil functioning. Plant genotypic diversity enhances soil functioning through variations in specific leaf area and total rhizodeposition, while genotype identity influences the quantity and quality of rhizodeposition.
