Forest ecosystems are critical for their carbon sequestration potential. Increasing tree diversity has been shown to enhance both forest productivity and litter decomposition. Litter diversity increases litter decomposability by increasing the diversity of substrates offered to decomposers. However, the relative importance of litter decomposability and decomposer community in mediating tree diversity...
Soil respiration is an essential component of carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Despite increasing awareness of the significance of aboveground-belowground interactions, little is known about tree diversity effects on soil respiration and the underlying mechanisms. Here, we conducted a 105-day mesocosm experiment in a climate chamber to test the effects of tree diversity (1, 2, and 4 species)...
Soil microorganisms are the functional backbone of terrestrial ecosystems. Empirical evidence has accumulated highlighting the role of soil biodiversity for the functioning of ecosystems and the provision of vital ecosystem services. How can biodiversity in soil be maintained? Recent plant diversity experiments, intercropping approaches, and monitoring studies suggest that plant diversity is a crucial...
