Global warming has caused changes in temperature and precipitation patterns, and the
subsequent effects on the dynamics of soil respiration (Rs) have had a significant impact on …

Over many areas, light rainfalls, those delivering small daily amounts (typically,< 10 mm d−
1), and low-intensity rainfalls (typically,< 1 mm h− 1), contribute a large proportion of raining …

Coastal wetlands are considered as a significant sink for global carbon because their
organic-rich soils. Given exposed to shallow water tables, water from groundwater is …

Fine roots of woody plants comprise multiple root orders, which can be functionally
partitioned into two pools: absorptive fine roots (AFR s, orders 1, 2) and transport fine roots …

Background and aims Growth, morphological traits, and mycorrhizal colonization of fine
roots show high degree of plasticity in response to changes in nutrient availability, causing …

放牧是草原生态系统利用与管理的主要方式; 而过度放牧导致的草原退化和生产力衰减问题已
成为当前生产及理论上的一个棘手难题. 近年来, 植物功能性状及其权衡等新理论与方法的引入 …

Traits are critical in predicting decomposition that fuels carbon and nutrient cycling in
ecosystems. However, our understanding of root trait–decomposition linkage, and especially …

Home‐field advantage (HFA) states that litter decomposes faster in “home” than in “away”
soil, due to the specialization of decomposer organisms in decomposing litter derived from …

Soil respiration (Rs) is a crucial ecological process of carbon (C) cycling in the terrestrial
ecosystems, and soil erosion has a significant impact on its C budget and balance …

Increase of anthropogenic atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition markedly influences
biogeochemical cycles of elements in a wide range of ecosystems. However, our knowledge …
