Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community composition is altered by long-term litter removal but not litter addition in a lowland tropical forest

Sheldrake, Merlin; Rosenstock, Nicholas P.; Revillini, Daniel; Olsson, På; Mangan, Scott; Sayer, Emma J.; Wallander, Hå; Turner, Benjamin L.; Tanner, Edmund V. J. (2017)
Arbuscular mycorrhizal mycelial respiration in a moist tropical forest

Nottingham, Andrew T.; Turner, Benjamin L.; Winter, Klaus; van, der Heijden; Tanner, Edmund V. J. (2010)

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread in tropical forests and represent a major sink of photosynthate, yet their contribution to soil respiration in such ecosystems remains unknown. Using in-growth mesocosms ...
Arthropod abundance and diversity in a lowland tropical forest floor in Panama: The role of habitat space vs. nutrient concentrations

Sayer, Emma J.; Sutcliffe, Laura M. E.; Ross, Rebecca I. C.; Tanner, Edmund V. J. (2010)

Tropical forest floor characteristics such as depth and nutrient concentrations are highly heterogeneous even over small spatial scales and it is unclear how these differences contribute to patchiness in forest floor ...
Coordination of aboveground and belowground responses to local-scale soil fertility differences between two contrasting Jamaican rain forest types

Wardle, David A.; Bellingham, Peter J.; Kardol, Paul; Giesler, Reiner; Tanner, Edmund V. J. (2015)
Edge Effects on Litterfall Mass and Nutrient Concentrations in Forest Fragments In Central Amazonia

Sizer, Nigel C.; Tanner, Edmund V. J.; Kossmann Ferraz, D. (2000)
Effects of Litter Manipulation on Early-Stage Decomposition and Meso-Arthropod Abundance in a Tropical Moist Forest

Sayer, Emma J.; Tanner, Edmund V. J.; Lacey, A. L. (2006)
Experimental investigation of the importance of litterfall in lowland semi-evergreen tropical forest nutrient cycling

Sayer, Emma J.; Tanner, Edmund V. J. (2010)

1. The cycling of nutrients in litterfall is considered a key mechanism in the maintenance of tropical forest fertility but its importance has rarely been quantified experimentally. 2. We carried out a long-term (5 years), ...
Gaps and Root Trenching Increase Tree Seedling Growth in Panamanian Semi-Evergreen Forest

Barberis, Ignacio M.; Tanner, Edmund V. J. (2005)
Increased Litterfall Changes Fine Root Distribution in a Moist Tropical Forest

Sayer, Emma J.; Tanner, Edmund V. J.; Cheesman, A. (2006)
Increased litterfall in tropical forests boosts the transfer of soil CO2 to the atmosphere

Sayer, Emma J.; Powers, Jennifer S.; Tanner, Edmund V. J. (2007)

Aboveground litter production in forests is likely to increase as a consequence of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, rising temperatures, and shifting rainfall patterns. As litterfall represents a ...
Long-term hurricane damage effects on tropical forest tree growth and mortality

Tanner, Edmund V. J.; Rodriguez-Sanchez, Francisco; Healey, John R.; Holdaway, Robert J.; Bellingham, Peter J. (2014)
A new approach to trenching experiments for measuring root-rhizosphere respiration in a lowland tropical forest

Sayer, Emma J.; Tanner, Edmund V. J. (2010)

Soil respiration in tropical forests is a major source of atmospheric CO2. The ability to partition soil respiration into its individual components is becoming increasingly important to predict the effects of disturbance ...
Potassium, phosphorus, or nitrogen limit root allocation, tree growth, or litter production in a lowland tropical forest

Wright, S. Joseph; Yavitt, Joseph B.; Wurzburger, Nina; Turner, Benjamin L.; Tanner, Edmund V. J.; Sayer, Emma J.; Santiago, Louis S.; Kaspari, Michael E.; Hedin, Lars O.; Harms, Kyle Edward; Garcia, Milton N.; Corre, Marife D. (2011)

We maintained a factorial nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) addition experiment for 11 years in a humid lowland forest growing on a relatively fertile soil in Panama to evaluate potential nutrient limitation ...
Priming and microbial nutrient limitation in lowland tropical forest soils of contrasting fertility

Nottingham, Andrew T.; Turner, Benjamin L.; Chamberlain, Paul M.; Stott, Andrew W.; Tanner, Edmund V. J. (2012)
Root and arbuscular mycorrhizal mycelial interactions with soil microorganisms in lowland tropical forest

Nottingham, Andrew T.; Turner, Benjamin L.; Winter, Klaus; Chamberlain, Paul M.; Stott, Andrew; Tanner, Edmund V. J. (2013)

Tropical forests have high rates of soil carbon cycling, but little information is available on how roots, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), and free-living microorganisms interact and influence organic matter mineralization ...
Soil organic phosphorus dynamics following perturbation of litter cycling in a tropical moist forest

Vincent, A. G.; Turner, Benjamin L.; Tanner, Edmund V. J. (2010)

The productivity of tropical lowland moist forests is often considered to be limited by the availability of phosphorus. Organic phosphorus is often abundant in tropical soils, but its role in forest nutrition is largely ...
Trenching increased growth, and irrigation increased survival of tree seedlings in the understorey of a semi-evergreen rain forest in Panamá

Tanner, Edmund V. J.; Barberis, Ignacio M. (2007)

Seedlings in tropical forests are ultimately the source of canopy trees, thus factors controlling their composition and growth potentially influence the composition of the forest. Seedlings are primarily limited by ...
Variable Responses of Lowland Tropical Forest Nutrient Status to Fertilization and Litter Manipulation

Sayer, Emma J.; Wright, S. Joseph; Tanner, Edmund V. J.; Yavitt, Joseph B.; Harms, Kyle Edward; Powers, Jennifer S.; Kaspari, Michael E.; Garcia, Milton N.; Turner, Benjamin L. (2012)

Predicting future impacts of anthropogenic change on tropical forests requires a clear understanding of nutrient constraints on productivity. We compared experimental fertilization and litter manipulation treatments in an ...
