Tree root nutrient uptake kinetics vary with nutrient availability, environmental conditions, and root traits: A global analysis The Freundlich isotherm equation best represents phosphate sorption across soil orders and land use types in tropical soils of Puerto Rico Anthromes and forest carbon responses to global change Intraspecific variability in plant and soil chemical properties in a common garden plantation of the energy crop Populus Tropical forests and global change: biogeochemical responses and opportunities for cross-site comparisons, an organized INSPIRE session at the 108th Annual Meeting, Ecological Society of America, Portland, Oregon, USA, August 2023 Standardized Data to Improve Understanding and Modeling of Soil Nitrogen at Continental Scale... Effects of root litter traits on soil organic matter dynamics depend on decay stage and root branching order Fast-decaying plant litter enhances soil carbon in temperate forests but not through microbial physiological traits Mycorrhizal associations of tree species influence soil nitrogen dynamics via effects on soil acid–base chemistry A trade-off between plant and soil carbon storage under elevated CO2 Biological mechanisms may contribute to soil carbon saturation patterns Nitrogen cycling microbiomes are structured by plant mycorrhizal associations with consequences for nitrogen oxide fluxes in forests Integrating the evidence for a terrestrial carbon sink caused by increasing atmospheric CO 2 Root-derived inputs are major contributors to soil carbon in temperate forests, but vary by mycorrhizal type Key Links Curriculum Vitae Google Scholar ORCID Organizations Biological and Environmental Systems Science Directorate Environmental Sciences Division Earth Systems Science Section Ecosystem Processes Group Climate Change Science Institute
