Plant–soil feedbacks: role of plant functional group and plant traits (2016, background): “…thus be expected that plant species with high SLA, SRL and RGR suffer more from negative PSF than plant species with low SLA, SRL and RGR. Recent studies that aimed to predict PSF from plant traits focused on litter and decomposer community-mediated PSF (Orwin et al. 2010; Baxendale et al. 2014).”
How fundamental plant functional trait relationships scale‐up to trade‐offs and synergies in ecosystem services (2012, background): “…LES, which extends from the whole plant to ecosystem properties associated with biogeochemistry (Garnier & Navas 2011; see also Wardle et al. 2004; Orwin et al. 2010; Freschet et al. 2010b), we expect the leaf ⁄plant economics axis to scale-up to a trade-off between ecosystem properties…”
The world‐wide ‘fast–slow’ plant economics spectrum: a traits manifesto (2014, background): “Although understanding the ecological roles of leaf density, thickness and dry matter content is important, neither Hodgson et al. (2011) nor Onoda et al. (2011) suggest that any of these is more informative than SLA as a general measure of leaf structure.”
Root functional parameters along a land‐use gradient: evidence of a community‐level economics spectrum (2015, background): “Plant productivity and biogeochemical cycles are thus strongly influenced by the root traits of the co-occurring species in a plant community (Fornara, Tilman & Hobbie 2009; Orwin et al. 2010).”
Below‐ground connections underlying above‐ground food production: a framework for optimising ecological connections in the rhizosphere (2017, background): “Indirect controls on soil communities are equally important and act primarily through the quantity and quality of plant aboveground and below-ground litter inputs (Orwin et al. 2010; De Vries et al. 2012b; Baxendale et al. 2014).”
Extracellular enzymes in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments: perspectives on system variability and common research needs (2013, background): “These effects are strongest in the rhizosphere (de Graaff et al. 2010; Orwin et al. 2010), the soil zone directly impacted by roots, and used by plants to exploit soil organic nutrient pools.”
Invasive plants accelerate nitrogen cycling: evidence from experimental woody monocultures (2017, background): “For example, fast-growing species with a resource acquisitive strategy (e.g. high leaf N and low leaf toughness) promote nutrient cycling, while slow-growing species with a retentive strategy (e.g. low leaf N, high leaf toughness) reduce nutrient cycling (Chapin 1980; Orwin et al. 2010; Reich 2014).”
Nitrification is linked to dominant leaf traits rather than functional diversity (2011, background): “These results are in agreement with Orwin et al. (2010) who demonstrated a positive relationship between plant tissue [N] and both soil nitrate and net nitrification.”
Frontiers in root ecology: recent advances and future challenges (2018, background): “…to soil biogeochemical processes such as C and nutrient cycling has received substantial attention (Silver and Miya 2001; Jones et al. 2004; Rasse et al. 2005; Orwin et al. 2010; Bengtson et al. 2012), fewer studies emphasize the effect of roots on soil structural properties (Hallett et al. 2013).”
Relative contributions of plant traits and soil microbial properties to mountain grassland ecosystem services (2013, background): “It is now well established that individual plant species (Grayston et al. 1998; Wardle et al. 2003; Harrison & Bardgett 2010), and even different genotypes (Schweitzer et al. 2008; Weinert et al. 2010), can influence the diversity and activity of microbial communities in soil.”
Strong elevational trends in soil bacterial community composition on Mt. Halla, South Korea (2014, background): “It has been suggested earlier that local scale variation in dominant microbial communities can be explained by plant identity and substrate hotspots (Bezemer et al., 2010; Chu et al., 2011; Orwin et al., 2010; Thomson et al., 2010).”
Review of optical-based remote sensing for plant trait mapping (2013, neutral): “Moreover, they have been successfully used in various studies related to ecosystem functioning (Dı́az et al., 2004; Orwin et al., 2010; Wright et al., 2004), community ecology (Kraft et al.”
