Soil nematode abundances drive agroecosystem multifunctionality under short-term elevated CO2 and O3

Jianqing Wang et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of short-term elevated CO2 and O3 on agroecosystem multifunctionality, and found that the combined treatment significantly increased the multifunctionality index. Soil nematode abundances played a key role in regulating multifunctionality.

Analysis of leaf-architecture characteristics and ecological adaptability of tree species in the upper reaches of the Chishui River

Yifu Liu et al.

Summary: The leaf-architecture characteristics of ligneous plants in the karst region were assessed using spatial syntax. The study found differences in leaf architecture between evergreen and deciduous trees, as well as between trees and shrubs. The study also identified correlations between leaf architecture and plant functional traits, as well as soil water-holding capacity. Understanding these characteristics can inform tree species selection and planting patterns in vegetation restoration areas.

Amino acid isotopes in functional assemblages of Collembola reveal the influence of vertical resource heterogeneity and root energy supply on trophic interactions in soil food webs

Zhipeng Li et al.

Summary: This study examined the vertical heterogeneity of trophic interactions in temperate forest soil food webs and how it responds to deprivation of root energy supply. The results showed that the association between root energy supply and trophic interactions is partially in line with the productivity hypothesis, but it is strongly mediated by vertical resource heterogeneity, regional conditions, and feeding strategies of consumers. The study also found that saprotrophic fungi are the main resources for Collembola, while mycorrhizal fungi and plants play a subordinate role.

Sustainable improvement of soil health utilizing biochar and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: A review

Nihal Gujre et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the use of biochar and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to improve soil health and crop productivity, emphasizing their indispensable roles in maintaining the plant-soil continuum. The study highlights the significant progress made in understanding the physical and chemical properties of biochar, as well as the functions and roles of AMF in the soil ecosystem. The potential benefits, challenges, and future opportunities of combined biochar and AMF applications are critically examined.

Effects of plant species diversity on nematode community composition and diversity in a long-term biodiversity experiment

Peter Dietrich et al.

Summary: This study showed that plant species richness significantly impacts soil nematode communities, mainly regulated by resource quantity and quality. Bacterial-feeding, omnivorous, and predatory nematodes thrived in species-rich plant communities, while plant-feeding nematodes accumulated in species-poor plant communities, potentially contributing to the positive plant diversity-productivity relationship.

Effects of Understory or Overstory Removal on the Abundances of Soil Nematode Genera in a Eucalyptus Plantation

Dandan Gao et al.

Summary: The study found that the removal of understory plants and trees in eucalyptus plantations in southern China had a significant impact on the abundance of soil nematode genera, with the removal of understory vegetation having a stronger effect than tree removal. This impact is likely explained by pulsed input of plant debris to soil and subsequent depletion, suggesting that understory vegetation plays a crucial role in shaping soil nematode communities and soil food webs.
