Maize/peanut intercropping has greater synergistic effects and home-field advantages than maize/soybean on straw decomposition by Surigaoge Surigaoge, Hao Yang, Ye Su, Yu-He Du, Su-Xian Ren, Dario Fornara, Peter Christie, Wei-Ping Zhang, Long Li

“…IntroductionThe decomposition of plant litter mass is responsible for substantial carbon fluxes and remains a key process regulating nutrient cycling in natural and managed ecosystems. Litter decomposition has been addressed in agricultural monoculture systems, but not in intercropping systems, which produce species-diverse litter mass mixtures. …”

Enhanced soil function and health by soybean root microbial communities during in situ remediation of Cd-contaminated soil with the application of soil amendments by Zhongyi Cheng, Jiachun Shi, Yan He, Yuxuan Chen, Youjing Wang, Xueling Yang, Tianyu Wang, Laosheng Wu, Jianming Xu

“…Bulk and rhizosphere soil samples were collected to assess the amendment-induced effects on four microbial lineages (bacteria, fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [AMF], and nematodes) and their functions including Cd stabilization, nutrient cycling, and pathogen control. Compared with the control, both CMC application rates increased the pH and reduced labile Cd fraction in the bulk and rhizosphere soils. …”

Ciclos biogeoquímicos en bosques naturales y plantaciones de coníferas en ecosistemas de alta montaña de Colombia by Juan Diego León, María Isabel González, Juan Fernando Gallardo

“…Plant litter production and decomposition are two important processes in forest ecosystems, since they provide the main organic matter input to soil and regulate nutrient cycling. With the aim to study these processes, litterfall, standing litter and nutrient return were studied for three years in an oak forest (Quercus humboldtii), pine (Pinus patula) and cypress (Cupressus lusitanica) plantations, located in highlands of the Central Cordillera of Colombia. …”

Effects of Nitrogen Deposition on Leaf Litter Decomposition and Soil Organic Carbon Density in Arid and Barren Rocky Mountainous Regions: A Case Study of Yimeng Mountain by Baishu Kong, Jilei Zhou, Liguo Qi, Shuying Jiao, Lujie Ma, Wenwen Geng, Yuhao Zhao, Ting Gao, Jie Gong, Kun Li, Chuanrong Li

“…Overall, N addition decreases the SOCD of <i>Quercus acutissima</i> Carruth., but it increases the SOCD of <i>Pinus thunbergii</i> Parl., attributed to the alteration in soil enzyme stoichiometry and nutrient cycling by N addition. This study fills a theoretical gap concerning leaf litter decomposition and SOC sequestration in arid and barren rocky mountainous regions under global climate change.…”

Cronología de la regeneración del bosque tropical seco en Santa Rosa, Guanacaste, Costa Rica: I. Características edáficas by Jorge A Leiva, Rafael Mata, Oscar J Rocha, Marco V Gutiérrez Soto

“…Our results indicate that edaphic chan ges observed along TDF regeneration might have been due to annual fires in pastures and young TDF sites, addition of decaying litter and fine roots as regeneration progressed, milder microclimate conditions during late regeneration in mature TDF sites, increased nutrient cycling, and the predominance of sandy loam textures among the soils examined. …”
