Local and regional scale mycorrhizal network assembly in an experimental prairie-pasture system

K. L. Shek, H. R. Dawson, T. Maxwell, B. Bomfim, P. B. Reed, S. Bridgham, B. Bohannan, L. C. R. Silva

The paper investigates how environmental conditions and plant diversity affect arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal composition and plant-fungal coassembly patterns across spatial scales in a prairie-pasture system.

Plant functional types and tissue stoichiometry explain nutrient transfer in common arbuscular mycorrhizal networks of temperate grasslands

H. R. Dawson, K. L. Shek, T. M. Maxwell, P. B. Reed, B. Bomfim, S. Bridgham, B. Bohannan, L. C. R. Silva

The paper quantifies carbon and nitrogen transfer in mycorrhizal networks across 18 plant species, finding that plant functional type and tissue stoichiometry predict resource transfer patterns.

Quantifying climate change impacts on plant functional composition and soil nitrogen fixation in Mediterranean grasslands

B. Bomfim, H. R. Dawson, P. B. Reed, K. L. Shek, S. D. Bridgham, B. J. M. Bohannan, L. C. R. Silva

This study quantifies how warming and drought affect plant diversity and soil nitrogen fixation in Mediterranean grasslands, finding that warming reduces plant diversity and ANF varies with season and drought intensity.

Belowground changes to community structure alter methane-cycling dynamics in Amazonia

K. M. Meyer, A. Morris, K. Webster, A. M. Klein, M. E. Kroeger, L. Meredith, A. Braendholt, F. Nakamura, A. Venturini, L. Fonseca de Souza, K. L. Shek, R. Danielson, J. Van Haren, P. Barbosa de Camargo, S. M. Tsai, , B. J. M. Bohannan

The paper measures methane flux and microbial communities across land use changes in Amazonia, finding that pasture soils emit methane while forests act as sinks, with microbial shifts driving these changes.
