Abstract:

Agriculture is the predominant form of land management worldwide. During the last fifty years production intensification dramatically impacted the environment and biodiversity harming the ability of ecosystems to provide services essential for human sustenance and well-being. Agricultural ecosystems receive a wide variety of supporting and regulating services crucial for crop production (e.g. soil fertility or pollination). The enhancement of ecosystem services (ecological intensification) has been proposed as a promising solution to meet the growing demand for agricultural goods, decreasing p

Abstract:

Interactions between insect herbivores and host plants are fundamental, shaping both ecosystem functions and community structure. One aspect of insect-plant interactions that has received considerable attention recently is the indirect linkages between aboveground and belowground insect herbivores via a shared host plant. To date, the relationship between a maternal insect aboveground and her soil dwelling offspring has been largely overlooked. This study aimed to examine the interactions between the adult insect and soil dwelling larvae of the vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) with referenc

Abstract:

Mixed-grass prairies of the northern Great Plains evolved following frequent disturbances such as drought, fire, and extensive grazing by ungulates. As a result of periodic natural disturbances, native grass reproductive mechanisms have adapted to withstand frequent disturbance. Ninety-nine percent of native perennial grasses reproduction occurs through well-protected and densely structured axillary buds. Since vegetative buds are the primary driver of aboveground growth, bud response to differing seasons and fire return intervals may reveal strategies to enhance bud dynamics. The timing of fi

Abstract:

Abstract Plants and soil organisms are closely linked. Plants are the sole source of carbon in the soil and soil organisms are responsible for recycling of nutrients, making them available for plant growth. To understand the function of a system, it is important to understand the interactions between the soil and plants. These interactions have mainly been studied in temperate areas, with few studies in the arctic and subarctic. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of ecological disturbances in sub- and low-arctic grasslands on soil organisms and plant-soil feedback relationshi

Plants spend a high proportion of their photosynthetically fixed carbon (C) belowground to root biomass, rhizodeposition or to support mycorrhizal fungi in exchange for nutrients while most of this C expenditure is associated with root and hyphal respiration. This thesis aimed to investigate the controls on plants’ C allocation belowground, and what the consequences are for microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) of soil- vs plant-derived C and for mediating N dynamics. In module system one, four wheat genotypes with variated root traits, biomass and rhizodeposition were grown in pots under two

Abstract:

Interactions between above ground and root-feeding herbivores can be influenced by changes in plant traits, such as tissue chemistry and morphology. Environmental heterogeneity and perturbations also affect these plant-mediated interactions. Climate change is a multi-faceted phenomenon; increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations lead to increased global mean temperature and an associated higher frequency of extreme weather events. These factors can potentially perturb ecosystem function by altering both plant–herbivore and herbivore–herbivore interactions. A detailed understa

Invasive plants can displace native species, deteriorate native forest, and change plant communities and ecosystem functions. Native plant populations are fundamentally impacted by invasive species because of the interactions between invasive species and native plants.

Abstract:

The influence of plant-microbial interactions on the structure and dynamics of native vegetation is gaining increasing attention. Plants may alter (i.e., ‘condition’) soil microbial communities with subsequent consequences for their performance via plant-soil feedbacks. Such feedbacks often vary in direction and magnitude among species and have been linked to the successional state, diversity and structure of temperate and tropical ecosystems. The drivers of variable conditioning and feedbacks are not clear, but recent studies suggest that plant evolutionary history may be a predictor of below

During the past few decades, there has been growing understanding that human well-being is fundamentally linked to the state of the environment. The rapid decline of global biodiversity and its consequences for ecosystem functioning therefore has become a focal point of scientific interest and prompted a multitude of biodiversity studies aiming to investigate the complex relationship between plant species richness and ecosystem functioning in terrestrial grassland ecosystems.

Global surface temperatures have been rising since the pre-industrial era and are predicted to continue rising due to the positive radiative forcing of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO\(_2\)), the gas responsible for most of this warming, has increased since the industrial revolution due to the burning of fossil fuels and land use change. The concentration of nitrous oxide (N\(_2\)O), a potent greenhouse gas with substantially higher global warming potential than CO\(_2\) over a 100-y horizon, has similarly increased due to agriculture and
