Phosphorus (P) is an essential and often limiting element that could play a crucial role in
terrestrial ecosystem responses to climate warming. However, it has yet remained unclear …

Knowledge about changes in plant functional traits is valuable for the mechanistic
understanding of warming effects on ecosystem functions. However, observations have …

Plant invasion is a growing issue worldwide, with exotic plants consistently dominating
various ecosystems. Plant functional traits, particularly root functional traits, can reflect …

Soil, as the largest terrestrial carbon pool, has garnered significant attention 15 concerning
its response to global warming. However, accurately estimating the stocks and 16 dynamics …

Soil microorganisms control the fate of soil organic carbon. Warming may accelerate their
activities putting large carbon stocks at risk of decomposition. Existing knowledge about …

The mechanisms by which warming affects fine root lifespan remain unclear. In a large-scale
soil warming experiment in a Chinese fir plantation, fine root dynamics were monitored for …

Global warming impacts biogeochemical cycles in terrestrial ecosystems, but it is still
unclear how the simultaneous cycling of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soils could be …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is critical for soil carbon sequestration in terrestrial
ecosystems. DOM molecular composition varies with soil depth. However, the spatial …

Belowground bacterial communities play essential roles in maintaining ecosystem
multifunction, while our understanding of how and why their distribution patterns and …

Fine root litter represents an important carbon input to soils, but the effect of global warming
on fine root turnover (FRT) is hardly explored in forest ecosystems. Understanding tree fine …
