Secondary metabolites of Pinus halepensis alter decomposer organisms and litter decomposition during afforestation of abandoned agricultural zones (2014, background): “…toxic for certain decomposers (Kainulainen & Holopainen 2002; Kainulainen, Holopainen & Holopainen 2003), making them key regulators of nutrient cycling (Souto, Gonzalez & Reigosa 1994; PoinsotBalaguer 1996; H€attenschwiler & Vitousek 2000; Kraus, Dahlgren & Zasoski 2003; Orme~no et al. 2006).”
Plant–soil feedbacks: the past, the present and future challenges (2013, background): “…on Calluna vulgaris in the UK and work on Swedish islands reported by Wardle et al. (2012) shows that plant species can impede rates of N mineralization by producing litter with high levels of polyphenols, which adversely affects earlier-successional plant species (H€attenschwiler & Vitousek 2000).”
Functional Matrix: A Conceptual Framework for Predicting Multiple Plant Effects on Ecosystem Processes (2003, background): “High rates of DON leaching are associated with species with high concentrations of tannins and phenolics that bind proteins (Hattenschwiler & Vitousek 2000), but these species may decrease overall N leaching by minimizing NO3 loss (Northup et al. 1998).”
Linking vegetation change, carbon sequestration and biodiversity: insights from island ecosystems in a long‐term natural experiment (2012, background): “…that occur with increasing dominance ofE. hermaphroditum and P. abies are likely to lead to greater binding of N and reduced N mineralization (Hättenschwiler & Vitousek 2000; Schimel &Bennett 2004), thus explaining both the higher total N and lower labile N concentrations on the small…”
Host plant genetics affect hidden ecological players: links among Populus, condensed tannins, and fungal endophyte infection (2005, neutral): “These processes and their reputed ability to inhibit net nitrification have led researchers to believe that they can regulate plant available nutrient pools (Rice and Pancholy 1973; Basaraba and Starkey 1966; Northup et al. 1998; Hättenschwiler and Vitousek 2000; Kraus et al. 2003).”
Plant litter chemistry and mycorrhizal roots promote a nitrogen feedback in a temperate forest (2009, background): “Despite the hypothesized importance of tannins in N cycling ( Hattenschwiler & Vitousek 2000 ) we know little about the abundance and degradation of protein‐tannin‐N in terrestrial ecosystems.”
Insect population dynamics meets ecosystem ecology: effects of herbivory on soil nutrient dynamics (2001, background): “Species differ markedly in the quality of litter that they produce and hi the speed with which it decomposes (Wedin & Tilman, 1990; Hobbie, 1992; Haettenschwiler & Vitousek, 2000).”
COMMUNITY AND ECOSYSTEM GENETICS: A CONSEQUENCE OF THE EXTENDED PHENOTYPE (2003, background): “Diaz, S., and M. Cabido.”
Plant secondary metabolites: a key driver of litter decomposition and soil nutrient cycling (2016, background): “Tannins are the most abundant polyphenolics found in woody species, but are generally absent from herbaceous plants (H€attenschwiler & Vitousek 2000).”
