In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Elemental stoichiometry constitutes an inherent link between biogeochemistry and the
structure and processes within food webs, and thus is at the core of ecosystem functioning …

摘要植物生态化学计量学是生态化学计量学的重要分支, 主要研究植物器官元素含量的计量特征

Phosphorus (P) limitation of aboveground plant production is usually assumed to occur in
tropical regions but rarely elsewhere. Here we report that such P limitation is more …

The leaf economics spectrum (LES) provides a useful framework for examining species
strategies as shaped by their evolutionary history. However, that spectrum, as originally …

Terrestrial microbial decomposer communities thrive on a wide range of organic matter
types that rarely ever meet their elemental demands. In this review we synthesize the current …

Plant carbon (C) content is one of the most important plant traits and is critical to the
assessment of global C cycle and ecological stoichiometry; however, the global variations in …

Because the capability of terrestrial ecosystems to fix carbon is constrained by nutrient
availability, understanding how nutrients limit plant growth is a key contemporary question …

Phosphorus deposition can stimulate both plant carbon inputs and microbial carbon outputs.
However, how P enrichment affects soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and the underlying …

Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) are the primary elements involved in the growth and
development of plants. The C: N ratio is an indicator of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and an …
