Global change exposes forest ecosystems to many risks including novel climatic conditions,
increased frequency of climatic extremes and sudden emergence and spread of pests and …

Epiphytes are structurally-dependent plants which grow on other plants without taking
nourishment from them. Phylogenetic and ecophysiological differences divide them into non …

The study of stemflow fungi began over 50 years ago. Past work has been performed in
different climatic regions of the world, with different sampling methods, by mycologists …

Nitrogen (N) deposition and intensified rainfall can strongly affect soil microbial community,
but compared with available studies on bacteria, those on soil fungi are quite limited. Here …

Microbial activity plays a central role in nitrogen (N) cycling, with effects on forest
productivity. Although N biotransformations, such as nitrification, are known to occur in the …

Trees have a large impact on the topsoil chemistry and the strength and direction of this
impact depend on the identity of the tree species. Tree species with nutrient-poor litter have …

Highly diverse neotropical ecosystems exhibit a natural limitation of phosphorus in the soil,
sufficient to limit productivity and structure. This is more pronounced in Andean ecosystems …

In agriculture and forestry, the soil is one of the essential natural resources. Efficient soil use
is essential to achieve sustainable development and face current global problems, such as …

The study systematically analyzes the literature in order to identify the main contributions of
the trunk runoff study on the soil nutrient flux in recent years. The review included 47 articles …

Soluble carbohydrates have been found in the stemflow of trees across species and
phenophases. In particular, neutral sugars provide various functions for trees including …
