Community structure and ecosystem processes often vary along elevational gradients. Their
responses to elevation are commonly driven by changes in temperature, and many …

The literature on the formation, structure and properties of allophane and imogolite is
reviewed, with particular emphasis on the seminal contributions by Colin Farmer. Allophane …

The Hailuogou Glacier (Gongga Mountain, SW China) has been retreating in response to
global warming. A soil chronosequence (Hailuogou Chronosequence) has developed in the …

Abstract Changes in atmospheric temperature and lowering in water‐table (WT) are
expected to affect peatland nutrient dynamics. To understand the response of peatland …

Frequent extreme climate events have significantly affected plant intrinsic water-use
efficiency (iWUE) and forest nitrogen (N) availability. Understanding the coupling between …

We explored patterns of soil and foliar nutrients across nine mature forest sites in Costa
Rica, where mean annual precipitation (MAP) ranged between 3500 and 5500 mm, altitude …

Anthropogenic activity has caused persistent and prominent losses of forest cover in dry
tropical forests. Natural regeneration of forest trees in grazed areas often fails due to lack of …

Acacia koa forests benefit from phosphorus fertilisation, but it is unknown if fertilisation is a
short or long term effect on P availability. Past research suggests that P cycling in soils with …

Functional gene approaches have been used to better understand the roles of microbes in
driving forest soil nitrogen (N) cycling rates and bioavailability. Ammonia oxidation is a rate …

Plant root simulator (PRS) probes, a resin membrane technology, are increasingly used to
measure soil nutrient availability in agricultural and nonagricultural systems. Like other resin …
