Abstract

Many eucalypt trees shed their bark annually. This bark becomes a component of the litter layer, which acts as fuel, especially during surface fires. The amount and quality of shed bark vary greatly among species, which might have important effects on forest surface fire behavior. In this study, we aimed to compare the bark fuel bed flammability of eight eucalypt tree species and tried to link their bark litter traits via the surface fuel bed structure to bark flammability. In controlled laboratory burns, three flammability parameters, the fire spread rate, total burning time, and maximum temperature, were measured. The bark litter traits included length, curliness, thickness, dry matter content, tissue density, carbon content, nitrogen content, and terpene content, while the litter bed packing ratio and packing density were also measured. We found significant differences in bark traits and flammability among species. Thicker bark fragments of the eucalypt tree species had higher packing densities in fuel beds, a slower fire spread, and a longer burning time. This relationship was strongly driven by the thick bark fragments of Eucalyptus punctata DC. Still, also within the other seven species, bark thickness was the strongest predictor of bark fuel bed flammability, with some additional explanatory power for bark length. For the first time, our study demonstrates that bark traits, particularly litter fragment thickness and length, drive bark litter flammability of eucalypt tree species through their effects on bark fuel bed structure. These findings contribute to our understanding and predictive power of wildfire behavior in forest stands dominated by different eucalypt species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Complementary resource use by functionally different species may accelerate ecosystem processes. However, how co‐variation in plant traits and animal traits promotes complementarity through temporal plant–animal interactions is poorly understood, even less so in detrital systems, thereby hampering our fundamental understanding of decomposition and carbon turnover. We hypothesised that, in seasonal subtropical forests where termites are major deadwood decomposers, trait complementarity of both termite species and tree species should promote overall deadwood decomposition through different seasons and years. Findings from a four‐year coarse wood decomposition experiment involving 27 tree and 5 termite species support this hypothesis. Phenological and mandibular traits of the two most abundant termite species controlled wood decomposition of tree species differing in wood traits, through the seasons over 4 years, thereby promoting overall deadwood decomposition rates. Our findings indicate that complementarity in functional trait co‐variation in plants and animals plays an important role in carbon cycling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The relationship between phylogenetic diversity (PD) and functional diversity (FD) is important for understanding the mechanisms of community assembly. The traditional view assumes a coupled (positively correlated) relationship between these two diversity measures, suggesting that competitive exclusion and environmental filtering are important drivers of both phylogenetic and functional structure of communities. In contrast, there is evidence that communities might deviate from this pattern, exhibiting either phylogenetic overdispersion connected with trait convergence (decoupled PD) or functional overdispersion connected with phylogenetic clustering (decoupled FD). In this study, we examined the relationship between PD and FD within vascular-plant communities in European grasslands, focusing on decoupled PD-FD patterns. We hypothesized that the decoupled patterns are connected with past or current environmental changes and are rarer in comparison with the coupled PD-FD pattern, reflecting long-term relatively stable environments. We used 81,484 plots (communities) of European dry, mesic, wet and alpine grasslands, containing 4,119 angiosperm species, and data on six functional traits relevant for different plant functions and habitats (plant height, leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf nitrogen content, seed mass and lateral spreading distance). Functional diversity was evaluated in two ways – as a single combined measure and as variability in each trait separately. We found various PD-FD patterns across different habitats, traits and regions, with the coupled pattern widespread but not universal. In many communities, we detected the tendency towards decoupled PD, likely caused by environmental filtering of phylogenetically diverse species pools. This was most pronounced in dry grasslands, and also in wet and alpine grasslands when FD based on plant height, leaf area or seed mass was considered. In contrast, the tendency towards decoupled FD was detected only in mes

Abstract

Evidence is mounting that vertebrate defaunation greatly impacts global biogeochemical cycling. Yet, there is no comprehensive assessment of the potential vertebrate influence over plant decomposition, despite litter decay being one of the largest global carbon fluxes. We therefore conducted a global meta-analysis to evaluate vertebrate effects on litter mass loss and associated element release across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Here we show that vertebrates affected litter decomposition by various direct and indirect pathways, increasing litter mass loss by 6.7% on average, and up to 34.4% via physical breakdown. This positive vertebrate impact on litter mass loss was consistent across contrasting litter types (woody and non-woody), climatic regions (boreal, temperate and tropical), ecosystem types (aquatic and terrestrial) and vertebrate taxa, but disappeared when evaluating litter nitrogen and phosphorus release. Moreover, we found evidence of interactive effects between vertebrates and non-vertebrate decomposers on litter mass loss, and a larger influence of vertebrates at mid-to-late decomposition stages, contrasting with the invertebrate effect known to be strongest at early decomposition stage. Our synthesis demonstrates a global vertebrate control over litter mass loss, and further stresses the need to account for vertebrates when assessing the impacts of biodiversity loss on biogeochemical cycles.

Abstract

Dead trees are vital structural elements in forests playing key roles in the carbon and nutrient cycle. Stem traits and fungal community composition are both important drivers of stem decay, and thereby affect ecosystem functioning, but their relative importance for stem decomposition over time remains unclear.To address this issue, we used a common garden decomposition experiment in a Dutch larch forest hosting fresh logs from 13 common temperate tree species. In total, 25 fresh wood and bark traits were measured as indicators of wood accessibility for decomposers, nutritional quality and chemical or physical defence mechanisms. After 1 and 4 years of decay, we assessed the richness and composition of wood-inhabiting fungi using amplicon sequencing and determined the proportional wood density loss.Average proportional wood density loss for the first year was 18.5%, with further decomposition occurring at a rate of 4.3% year−1 for the subsequent 3 years across tree species. Proportional wood density loss varied widely across tree species in the first year (8.7–24.8% year−1) and subsequent years (0–11.3% year−1). The variation was directly driven by initial wood traits during the first decay year, then later directly driven by bark traits and fungal community composition. Moreover, bark traits affected the composition of wood-inhabiting fungi and thereby indirectly affected decomposition rates. Specifically, traits promoting resource acquisition of the living tree, such as wide conduits that increase accessibility and high nutrient concentration, increased initial wood decomposition rates. Fungal community composition, but not fungal richness explained differences in wood decomposition after 4 years of exposure in the field, where fungal communities dominated by brown-rot and white-rot Basidiomycetes were linked to higher wood decomposition rate.Synthesis: Understanding what drives deadwood decomposition through time is importa

Abstract

The dataset consists of comprehensive information on litter mass loss, elemental recycling (specifically nitrogen and phosphorus release rates), and associated environmental factors. The data was collected using standardized methods and includes details such as study location coordinates, climatic conditions (temperature and precipitation), ecosystem types (terrestrial and aquatic), study subjects (species identity), litterbag specifics (exclusion method and mesh size), and litter tissue types (woody and non-woody). Missing climatic data were obtained from the WorldClim database. The dataset comprises 1568 sets of pairwise comparisons, with 1060 for plant decomposition, 360 for nitrogen release, and 148 for phosphorus release. This comprehensive dataset serves as a valuable resource for studying litter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and the interplay between environmental factors and decomposition processes.

Abstract

The differences inmass loss of leaf litter are primarily thought to be driven by microbial activity, especially by fungi. However, the existence of such differences across large spatial scales has not been well explored in field studies and the underlying mechanisms of difference are still unclear, especially for the role of different fungal guilds in driving different mass losses. We conducted a 1-year decomposition study within each of four coastalwetlands inChina to test the difference inmass loss across a large spatial scale (ranging from 26° N to 41° N in latitude). In each wetland, six sites including three composed of P. australis and three composed of another dominant plant species typically in coastal ecosystems were selected. We used P. australis leaf litter as the standard decomposition material, placing it into litter bags with mesh sizes 1mm and 4 mm, respectively. Final litter mass loss was examined approximately after 3, 9 and 12months. The differentmass loss was quantified using additionalmass loss at P. australis sites compared to that at another species sites. We found that themass loss of leaf litter of P. australis showed a clear difference across multiple coastal wetlands only at later stages of decomposition, which was independent of mesofauna (mesh size) contribution to decomposition. Furthermore, the observed difference in mass loss was primarily attributed to the dissimilarities in initial soil fungal community, particularly the symbiotrophic fungi, rather than the soil bacterial community. Our results provide empirical evidence of a large-scale difference in mass loss in litter decomposition and have linked the observed difference to different soil fungal guilds. These results indicate that symbiotrophic fungi might play a direct or indirect role in driving difference inmass loss, which contributes to a better understanding and invites in-depth further investigation on the underlying microbe-driven mechanisms of the difference.

Abstract

Variation in leaf traits is critical for carbon gains and losses during leaf life and drives litter carbon and nutrient losses via decomposition. Accurately quantifying litter decomposition parameters is essential for assessing ecosystem carbon and nutrient dynamics. Leaf litterbags have commonly been employed to measure effects of environmental drivers, decomposers, and plant traits on decomposition rates. There has been much debate regarding the suitability of substituting senesced dead leaves with fresh (green) leaves in litterbags, which has been common practice for mimicking green leaf fall or for practical reasons. Therefore, we tested the null hypothesis that replacement of dead leaves with fresh leaves in litterbag experiments is justified, based on similarities in structural and chemical traits between fresh and dead leaves across plant species and growth forms.We conducted a paired litterbag decomposition experiment with both fresh and dead leaves of 26 common species in subtropical China, in each of five contrasting ecosystems.While fresh leaves generally decomposed faster than dead leaves, this deviation varied among species and growth forms, based on their traits. Overall, there was significant but rather weak correlation between dead leaf decomposition rate k and fresh leaf k, across species and ecosystem types; the deviation between fresh and dead leaf k was larger for fast‐decomposing, mostly herbaceous species. The different decomposition patterns for fresh versus dead leaves were underpinned by key underlying traits integrated in leaf resource economics spectra (LES) for fresh and dead leaves. The dead leaf LES exhibited a greater predictive capability for dead leaf k while the fresh leaf LES had higher explanatory value for the fresh leaf k values.Our findings partly reject the null hypothesis and ask for caution in inferring leaf litter decomposition rates based on green leaf litterbags or traits data. We suggest follow‐up research on substituting senesced roots and stems with fresh ones in decomposition experiments.Synthesis. Human activities and extreme weather events are leading to increasing pulse inputs of fresh plant parts and our study contributes to knowledge on how they contribute to overall decomposition rates besides senesced litter inputs.
