Nutrient foraging by mycorrhizas: from species functional traits to ecosystem processes
Plant roots and the associated mycorrhizal fungal hyphae often selectively proliferate into
patchily distributed soil nutrient hotspots, but interactions between these two components of …

Whole‐tree nonstructural carbohydrate storage and seasonal dynamics in five temperate species
ME Furze, BA Huggett, DM Aubrecht, CD Stolz… - New …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Despite the importance of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) for growth and survival in
woody plants, we know little about whole‐tree NSC storage. The conventional theory …

The Millennial model: in search of measurable pools and transformations for modeling soil carbon in the new century
Soil organic carbon (SOC) can be defined by measurable chemical and physical pools, such
as mineral-associated carbon, carbon physically entrapped in aggregates, dissolved …

Carbon budget of the Harvard Forest Long‐Term Ecological Research site: pattern, process, and response to global change
AC Finzi, MA Giasson, AA Barker Plotkin… - Ecological …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
How, where, and why carbon (C) moves into and out of an ecosystem through time are long‐
standing questions in biogeochemistry. Here, we bring together hundreds of thousands of C …

Winter soil freeze-thaw cycles lead to reductions in soil microbial biomass and activity not compensated for by soil warming
Air temperatures are rising and the winter snowpack is getting thinner in many high-latitude
and high-elevation ecosystems around the globe. Past studies show that soil warming …

Carbon allocation to root exudates is maintained in mature temperate tree species under drought
Carbon (C) exuded via roots is proposed to increase under drought and facilitate important
ecosystem functions. However, it is unknown how exudate quantities relate to the total C …

Major and persistent shifts in below‐ground carbon dynamics and soil respiration following logging in tropical forests
Soil respiration is the largest carbon efflux from the terrestrial ecosystem to the atmosphere,
and selective logging influences soil respiration via changes in abiotic (temperature …
