Ammonium retention by Amberlite IRC-748 resin: useful for concentration assessments

Haikuo Zhang, Harald Neidhardt, Steffen Seitz, Thomas Scholten, Yvonne Oelmann

The paper assesses ammonium retention by Amberlite IRC-748 resin, finding it removes metal ions but co-adsorbs NH4+ with concentration-dependent losses, affecting high-precision N analysis.

Multitrophic interaction networks mediate biodiversity effects on ecosystem multifunctionality

Georg Albert, Michael Staab, Arong Luo, Perttu Anttonen, Rémy Beugnon, Simone Cesarz, Jingting Chen, Nico Eisenhauer, Alexandra Erfmeier, Felix Fornoff, Pengfei Guo, Werner Härdtle, Lydia Hönig, Lin Jiang, Alexandra‐Maria Klein, , Andreas Schuldt

The paper examines how multitrophic species interaction networks influence ecosystem multifunctionality and finds that network structure, including niche overlap and linkage density, significantly affects ecosystem function.

Tree diversity intensifies soil microorganism-tree interactions

Haikuo Zhang, Naili Zhang, Helge Bruelheide, Xiaojuan Liu, Shan Li, Zhuo Yang, Yanjiang Cai, Alexandra‐Maria Klein, Steffen Seitz, Thomas Scholten, Yvonne Oelmann

The paper examines how tree diversity affects microbial investment in nutrient-acquiring enzymes in soil, finding increased investment in nitrogen and phosphorus acquisition with higher tree species richness.
