Inducible Plant Responses Linking Above- and Below-ground Herbivory: Ecological Significance and Underlying Mechanisms
Title: INDUCIBLE PLANT RESPONSES LINKING ABOVEAND BELOW-GROUND HERBIVORY: ECOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE AND UNDERLYING MECHANISMS Ian Kaplan, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Directed By: Professor Robert F. Denno, Department of Entomology Aboveand below-ground organisms can indirectly affect one another via several recently-described mechanisms, one such mechanism being herbivore-induced plant responses. ...
متن کاملContribution of above- and below-ground plant traits to the structure and function of grassland soil microbial communities.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Abiotic properties of soil are known to be major drivers of the microbial community within it. Our understanding of how soil microbial properties are related to the functional structure and diversity of plant communities, however, is limited and largely restricted to above-ground plant traits, with the role of below-ground traits being poorly understood. This study investiga...
متن کاملBelow-ground plant–fungus network topology is not congruent with above-ground plant–animal network topology
In nature, plants and their pollinating and/or seed-dispersing animals form complex interaction networks. The commonly observed pattern of links between specialists and generalists in these networks has been predicted to promote species coexistence. Plants also build highly species-rich mutualistic networks below ground with root-associated fungi, and the structure of these plant-fungus network...
متن کاملSoil animals alter plant litter diversity effects on decomposition.
Most of the terrestrial net primary production enters the decomposer system as dead organic matter, and the subsequent recycling of C and nutrients are key processes for the functioning of ecosystems and the delivery of ecosystem goods and services. Although climatic and substrate quality controls are reasonably well understood, the functional role of biodiversity for biogeochemical cycles rema...
متن کاملDifferential contribution of soil biota groups to plant litter decomposition as mediated by soil use
Plant decomposition is dependant on the activity of the soil biota and its interactions with climate, soil properties, and plant residue inputs. This work assessed the roles of different groups of the soil biota on litter decomposition, and the way they are modulated by soil use. Litterbags of different mesh sizes for the selective exclusion of soil fauna by size (macro, meso, and microfauna) w...
