Yikang Cheng et al. found that climate factors and island area drive leaf economic trait variation by altering plant species richness and soil properties on tropical islands in the South China Sea.

Yun Liang et al. evaluated how functional diversity and community-weighted mean of leaf nutrients influence the formation of mineral-associated organic carbon via altering the #SoilMicrobialCommunity.

Globally, the differences in the #Coupling of N and P depend on climate, #SoilNutrients, species functional groups and soil interactions. Compared to #Non_legumes, #Legumes have an advantage in acquiring soil #NitrogenAndPhosphorus in warm-humid habitats via their root nodules and symbionts, and tightly couple in their leaf N and P.
