Afforestation can reduce desertification and soil erosion. However, the hydrologic
implications of afforestation are not well investigated, especially in arid and semi-arid …

Shrub encroaching on grasslands threatens grassland ecosystems and negatively affects
human land use and livelihood. However, existing research on this subject is limited, having …

Introduction To document the successional processes of shrub-herb communities after large-
scale human disturbance, and understand how changing environmental conditions affect …

Roots are important contributors to plant development, functioning to provide nutrients and
water for plant growth. However, roots and their functions are often simplified in Earth system …

Isotope-based approaches to study plant water sources rely on the assumption that root
water uptake and within-plant water transport are non-fractionating processes. However, a …

Riparian plants can adapt their water uptake strategies based on climatic and hydrological
conditions within a river basin. The response of cold‐alpine riparian trees to changes in …
