Mycorrhizal Fungi to Alleviate Drought Stress on Plant Growth (2014, background): “These are also required for clarify the links among plant traits and their associated AM fungal characteristics to quantify the contribution of plant–AM fungi associations to ecosystem services under various environmental constraints (Barea et al. 2011; Grigulis et al. 2013; Lavorel 2013).”
Intercropping with legume for agroecological cropping systems: Complementarity and facilitation processes and the importance of soil microorganisms. A review (2017, background): “…first and foremost, increased diversity ensures better overall plant production including increased root biomass, and consequently increases soil carbon and nitrogen content, which in turn stimulates microbial activity (Drake, 2003; Grigulis et al., 2013; Spehn et al., 2000; Zak et al., 2003).”
Does the biogeographic origin of species matter? Ecological effects of native and non‐native species and the use of origin to guide management (2016, background): “…carbon-capture strategies (i.e. change in the communityweighted mean) are likely to increase primary productivity and rates of nutrient turnover (Grigulis et al. 2013), especially if non-natives are dominant (Seabloom et al. 2015); however, a comprehensive trait analysis of native and…”
Stoichiometric N:P flexibility and mycorrhizal symbiosis favour plant resistance against drought (2017, background): “Since dominant species control the majority of the resources, subordinate species (i.e., conservative species) generally have limited access to N and tend to accumulate C (Grigulis et al. 2013; Mariotte et al. 2015).”
Plant functional effects on ecosystem services (2013, background): “A range of ecosystem processes and services associated with nitrogen cycling are examined by Grigulis et al. (2013), who demonstrate for three European grassland sites the relevance of not only the functional composition (CWM and FD) of plants, but also functional parameters of soil micro-organisms.”
The world‐wide ‘fast–slow’ plant economics spectrum: a traits manifesto (2014, background): “In a study of temperate grasslands, Grigulis et al. (2013) found coupled control by plant and microbial functional traits of biomass production and soil C and N cycling.”
An experimental framework to identify community functional components driving ecosystem processes and services delivery (2013, background): “However, these experiments were designed to form plant species richness gradients, and the relationship between CWM and FD was not evaluated or taken into account when designing the experiments and interpreting the results (but see Laughlin 2011; Mouillot et al. 2011; Grigulis et al. 2013).”
