Plant diversity and soil microbial diversity are closely related, and they maintain the health
and stability of terrestrial ecosystems. As a hotspot region of global biodiversity research …

Precipitation changes modify C, N, and P cycles, which regulate the functions and structure
of terrestrial ecosystems. Although altered precipitation affects above‐and belowground C …

Conservation tillage has a profound impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) and extracellular
enzyme activity (EEA), thereby influencing the global soil nutrient cycle. However, there is …

Abstract Information about the seasonal changes in soil enzyme activity along altitudinal
gradients is key for understanding the responses of soil biochemical processes to ongoing …

Topography features within catchments influence soil properties, nutrient status, microbial
dynamics and ultimately enzyme activities. Extracellular soil enzymes are essential for the …

Aims Soil microorganisms play critical roles in regulating soil biogeochemical cycles, but
their growth and metabolic activities are usually limited by resource availability, especially in …

Anthropogenic and natural shrub encroachment have similar ecological consequences on
native grassland ecosystems. In fact, there is an accelerating trend toward anthropogenic …

Purpose The purpose of our study was to investigate soil chemical properties, soil microbial
biomass and soil enzyme activities in a gradient of forest degradation in logged over tropical …

Grassland-shrubland state transition causes profound effects on soil nutrients and
microorganisms, yet little is known about how these soil characteristics are influenced by …

How climate change and fencing will affect forage nutrition quality of alpine grasslands is
still unknown in the Northern Tibet. Here, we reported the effects of climate change and …
