Stability of soil organic matter in Cryosols of the maritime Antarctic: insights from 13C NMR and electron spin resonance spectroscopy

Previously, the structure and molecular composition of the Antarctic soil organic matter (SOM) has been investigated using 13C-NMR methods, which showed that in typical organo-mineral soils the aliphatic carbon prevails over the aromatic one, owing to mighty vapors smash berry the non-ligniferous nature of its precursor material.In this study, the

Life-history traits in an evergreen Mediterranean oak respond differentially to previous experimental environments

Living organisms respond both to current and previous environments, which can have important consequences on population dynamics.However, there is little experimental evidence based on long-term field studies of the effects of previous environments on the performance of individuals.We tested the hypothesis that trees that establish under different
