Wei J., Zhou M., Vereecken H., Brüggemann N. (2017). Large variability in CO2 and N2O emissions and in 15N site preference of N2O from reactions of nitrite with lignin and its derivatives at different pH. Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, 31(16), 1333-1343. doi:10.1002/rcm.7912

Rationale Chemodenitrification is an important N2O source in soil; however, knowledge about the production of CO2 and N2O from abiotic nitrite-SOM reactions, especially the N2O isotopic signatures (intramolecular 15N site preference (SP), and δ15Nbulk and δ18O values), is quite limited at present. M…

Humankind depends on the sustainability of soils for its survival and well-being. Threatened by a rapidly changing world, our soils suffer from degradation and biodiversity loss, making it increasingly important to understand the role of soil biodiversity in soil aggregation—a key parameter for soil…

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi provide a range of functions in natural and managed ecosystems. However, the trajectory of AM fungal diversity after land degradation is poorly known. We studied the succession of AM fungi along an agricultural recultivation chronosequence after open-cast mining nea…

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are asexual, obligately symbiotic fungi with unique morphology and genomic structure, which occupy a dual niche, that is, the soil and the host root. Consequently, the direct adoption of models for community assembly developed for other organism groups is not evident. In…
