Odour information: the key to associational effects of neighbours on focal plant susceptibility to mammalian herbivores
Published 2024-03-04(1) Neighbouring plants can alter the susceptibility of high-quality focal plants to herbivores by affecting herbivore patch choice. Many herbivores use plant odour to make patch-scale foraging decisions from afar, but the ...Open AccessDataset -
Global meta-analysis of nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency in rice, wheat and maize
Published 2022Almost half of global nitrogen (N) fertilizer is applied to rice, wheat and maize, but a large proportion is not directly taken up causing detrimental effects on the environment. To understand how fertilizer management, climate ...Open AccessArticle -
Arbuscular mycorrhizae are important for phosphorus uptake and root biomass, and exudation for nitrogen uptake in tomato plants grown under variable water conditions
Published 2023Aims Mycorrhiza and rhizodeposition are important for nutrient and water uptake but their role under variable water conditions remains unclear. We investigated how mycorrhiza and rhizodeposition contributed to plant uptake ...Open AccessArticle -
Nitrogen addition and defoliation alter belowground carbon allocation with consequences for plant nitrogen uptake and soil organic carbon decomposition.
Published 2022Grassland plants allocate photosynthetically fixed carbon (C) belowground to root biomass and rhizodeposition, but also to support arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). These C allocation pathways could increase nutrient ...Open AccessArticle -
Decoupled cycling of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in a grassland soil along a hillslope mediated by clay and soil moisture
Published 2022Grasslands extend across a variety of topographies including non-flat hilly areas with varied soil texture and moisture that can mediate soil biogeochemical cycling of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). In ...Open AccessArticle
