Abstract: It is well known that aboveground productivity usually increases with precipitation. However, how belowground carbon (C) processes respond to changes in precipitation remains elusive, although belowground net primary productivity (BNPP) represents more than one-half of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jxb/erad021
Abstract: Abstract Sustaining grassland production in a changing climate requires an understanding of plant adaptation strategies, including trait plasticity under warmer and drier conditions. However, our knowledge to date disproportionately relies on aboveground responses, despite the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fenvs.2018.00018
Abstract: Effective soil management is critical to achieving climate change mitigation in plant-based renewable energy systems, yet limitations exist in our understanding of dynamic belowground responses to the cultivation of energy crops. To better understand the… read more here.
