A starting guide to root ecology: strengthening ecological concepts and standardising root classification, sampling, processing and trait measurements
In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

[HTML][HTML] Decomposition and transformations along the continuum from litter to soil organic matter in forest soils
CE Prescott, L Vesterdal - Forest Ecology and Management, 2021 - Elsevier
Until recently, the processes of litter decomposition and soil organic matter formation in
forests have been studied in isolation, which has hindered the development of a …

Explicitly representing soil microbial processes in Earth system models
Microbes influence soil organic matter decomposition and the long‐term stabilization of
carbon (C) in soils. We contend that by revising the representation of microbial processes …

Litter decomposition: what controls it and how can we alter it to sequester more carbon in forest soils?
CE Prescott - Biogeochemistry, 2010 - Springer
Key recent developments in litter decomposition research are reviewed. Long-term inter-site
experiments indicate that temperature and moisture influence early rates of litter …

Decomposition patterns for foliar litter–a theory for influencing factors
B Berg - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2014 - Elsevier
For decomposing foliar litter in forest systems the pattern for accumulated mass loss vs time
varies among litter species and environments. Thus, decomposition may be complete (100 …
