Fungal traits help to understand the decomposition of simple and complex plant litter

E. F. Leifheit, T. Camenzind, A. Lehmann, D. R. Andrade-Linares, M. Fussan, S. Westhusen, T. M. Wineberger, M. C. Rillig

This study identifies fungal traits that predict decomposition rates of plant litter, showing that complex carbon utilization and phylogeny are better predictors than individual enzyme activities.

Time-dependent toxicity of tire particles on soil nematodes

S. W. Kim, E. F. Leifheit, S. Maass, M. C. Rillig

This study shows that tire-wear particles (TWPs) exhibit time-dependent toxicity to soil nematodes, with increased toxicity after soil pre-incubation and lower effective concentrations for lifetime exposure compared to short-term exposure.

Microplastics have shape- and polymer-dependent effects on soil processes

A. Lehmann, E. F. Leifheit, M. Gerdawischke, M. C. Rillig

This study investigates how microplastic shape and polymer type affect soil aggregation and organic matter decomposition through a meta-analysis and lab experiment.
