Soil fauna mediate stage‑dependent home‑field advantage: roles of decomposer ability and litter quality

Home-field advantage (HFA) describes faster litter decomposition in native habitat than in foreign habitats, reflecting the adaptability of decomposer communities. As key contributors to decomposition, soil fauna have often been overlooked in HFA studies. We conducted a litter tr...

Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Responses to Root and Litter Removal Depend on Experimental and Environmental Context: A Meta-Analysis

Environmental change can alter aboveground and belowground plant inputs, with consequences for soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling and their coupling. However, how soil C and N respond differently to root and litter removal, and which factors regulate these responses, remain...
