📗 Our #CRC1502 most-cited series continues with Post #9 (34 citations): Bauke et al. (2022) show how soil water status controls nutrient cycling (N, P, S) from micrometers to landscapes by transport, moisture-dependent biology, and hydrolysis.

The effects of soil water treatment on invasive plant performance traits. Stem length (a), plant growth rate (b), total biomass (c), root-shoot ratio (d), number of leaves per plant (e) and number of branches per plant (f).

💧 #SoilWater ➡️ #Plant-soilFeedback (PSF) ➡️❓plant growth and #FoliarHerbivory🌳

Results:
1️⃣ Water content affects Leaf mass per area and leaf area consumption rate;
2️⃣ Water content⬇️, foliar herbivory⬇️;
3️⃣ Effect: soil water content > PSF
