The distribution and dynamics of N and P were studied for two adjacent grazed and ungrazed areas of native grassland in the Flooding Pampa, Argentina,...

Carbon cycling in grasslands can be impacted by livestock grazing, partially as an indirect result of herbivory-induced compositional shifts in the pl...

Sorghum cv. Funk's 522 was grown in 1978 followed by rye cv. Abruzzi under conventional tillage (CT) (disc ploughing) or no tillage (NT). Soyabean cv....

Plant roots and their mycorrhizal symbionts are critical components of forest ecosystems, being largely responsible for soil resource acquisition by p...

Minimizing nitrogen (N) losses and increasing plant N uptake in agroecosystems is a major global challenge. Ecological concepts from (semi)natural gra...

Ecological restoration often involves returning ecosystem structure to some predisturbance reference state, but ecosystem function must also recover i...

Grazed pasture managers are increasingly being asked to enhance productivity while simultaneously reducing environmental impacts. Using plant traits t...

Plant diversity can increase nitrogen cycling and decrease soil-borne pests, which are feedback mechanisms influencing subsequent plant growth. The re...

Conifers have a tendency to produce detrimental changes in the soil that suppress decomposition. It is also possible that clear-felling and the short ...

Because plant and soil systems are strongly inter-linked, manipulating plant traits in intensively managed agricultural systems could be used to impro...
