2011-03-10Effects of Plant Functional Group Removal on Soil Microbial Community Composition and Litter Decomposition in Subtropical Eucalyptus PlantationsSince aboveground communities and belowground communities are intimately linked and these linkages greatly affect ecosystem properties,removal of plant functional groups from aboveground communities will exert a great impact on belowground communities. The changes in soil microbial community caused by understory removal were mainly attributed to... A key topic of ecological research involves predicting how human-induced losses of species and functional groups from real ecosystems influence ecosystem properties and functioning. When particular plant functional groups are deliberately removed from the ecosystem, it will cause apparent consequences on the ecosystem processes and functioning. ...Read More -
