Conceptual diagram illustrating (a) the experimental design and (b) the mass, C, N and P remaining of green and senesced litter on lawn and soil surfaces under conditions with or without soil fauna.

The #GreenLitter and senescent litter (Cinnamomum camphora) generated by #TropicalCyclones exhibit distinctly different distribution patterns on the lawn and soil microhabitats.

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) of the impacts of soil carbon flux, litter nutrients, soil nutrients, soil enzyme activity, and soil microbial biomass on the HFA for Pinus massoniana (a) and Schima superba (c) forest stands.

🔗The #Home_fieldAdvantage in subtropical forests is not solely determined by #LitterQuality but emerges from the interaction between litter traits and soil microbial metabolic strategy.

Figure 1 in Bouma et al. (2025): "A Map of the location of Oostvaardersplassen in the Netherlands and B the sampled locations in Oostvaardersplassen for the four distinguished environmental conditions. For the wetland area (orange and blue delineated; the middle crossing indicates the location of the dam that separates the two main parts hydrologically), the map indicates the water areas (blue areas) and the reed/willow dominated areas (yellow areas). The locations follow a full-factorial design based on (1) the implementation of a water level drawdown (yes or no) and (2) the presence of perennial vegetation (yes or no) (C–F). In both the treatments without perennial vegetation (C and E), an exclosure is used to protect the tea bags and reed litter bags from respectively benthivorous fish, mainly common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) disturbances."
