Lowland plant arrival in alpine ecosystems facilitates a decrease in soil carbon content under experimental climate warming

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov, Constant Signarbieux, Thomas Guillaume

Climate warming is releasing carbon from soils around the world, constituting a positive climate feedback. Warming is also causing species to expand their ranges into new ecosystems. Yet, in most ecosystems, whether range expanding species will amplify or ...

Cropping systems alter hydraulic traits of barley but not pea grown in mixture

Constant Signarbieux

Extreme events such as drought and heatwaves are among the biggest challenges to agricultural production and food security. However, the effects of cropping systems on drought resistance of arable crops via their hydraulic behaviour remain unclear. We inve ...

Genetically Different Isolates of the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Rhizophagus irregularis Induce Differential Responses to Stress in Cassava

Constant Signarbieux

Water scarcity negatively impacts global crop yields and climate change is expected to greatly increase the severity of future droughts. The use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can potentially mitigate the effects of water stress in plants. Cassava i ...

Responses of plant leaf economic and hydraulic traits mediate the effects of early- and late-season drought on grassland productivity

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Constant Signarbieux, Amarante Vitra, Claire Emilie Deléglise, Lia Aimée Marie-Joe Lamacque

Drought can occur at different times during the grassland growing season, likely having contrasting effects on forage production when happening early or later in the season. However, knowledge about the interacting effects of the timing of drought and the ...

Effects of climate warming on Sphagnum photosynthesis in peatlands depend on peat moisture and species-specific anatomical traits

Constant Signarbieux, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey

Climate change will influence plant photosynthesis by altering patterns of temperature and precipitation, including their variability and seasonality. Both effects may be important for peatlands as the carbon (C) sink potential of these ecosystems depends ...

Effects of Sphagnum Leachate on Competitive Sphagnum Microbiome Depend on Species and Time

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Constant Signarbieux, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Samuel Thomas Gabriel Hamard

Plant specialized metabolites play an important role in soil carbon (C) and nutrient fluxes. Through anti-microbial effects, they can modulate microbial assemblages and associated microbial-driven processes, such as nutrient cycling, so to positively or ne ...

Plastic and genetic responses of a common sedge to warming have contrasting effects on carbon cycle processes

Luca Bragazza, Constant Signarbieux, Richard David Bardgett, Thomas William Nicholas Walker

Climate warming affects plant physiology through genetic adaptation and phenotypic plasticity, but little is known about how these mechanisms influence ecosystem processes. We used three elevation gradients and a reciprocal transplant experiment to show th ...

Drought-induced decline of productivity in the dominant grassland species Lolium perenne L. depends on soil type and prevailing climatic conditions

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Luca Bragazza, Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov, Constant Signarbieux, Thomas Guillaume, Amarante Vitra, Juan Carlos Quezada Rivera, Géraldine Delphine Mercier
