Extreme droughts have serious impacts on the pools, fluxes and processes of terrestrial
carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles. A deep understanding is necessary to explore the …

Scaling approaches in ecology assume that traits are the main attributes by which
organisms influence ecosystem functioning. However, several recent empirical papers have …

China's drylands encompass an area of approximately 6.60× 10 6 km 2 and are home to
around 580 million people, providing crucial ecosystem services. The escalating impacts of …

Compared to the well-known drivers of spatial variability in gross primary productivity (GPP),
the relative importance of climatic variables, soil properties and plant traits to the spatial …

Deadwood is an important component of the global carbon cycle, and its decomposition
releases carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) into the atmosphere. However, the main …

Fungi are key decomposers of deadwood, but the impact of anthropogenic changes in
nutrients and temperature on fungal community and its consequences for wood microbial …

As one of the primary divers of microbial changes, soil metals have been extensively studied
in agroecosystems. Soil microbial processes in forests are crucial for maintaining plant …

荒漠是重要的陆地生态系统之一, 其生态系统极其脆弱, 极易发生荒漠化. 荒漠土壤的稳定和功能
对于荒漠生态系统结构和功能的维持至关重要. 但在荒漠地区, 大多数土壤功能的研究还主要 …

Grassland soils are globally important sinks for atmospheric CO 2, and their carbon (C) is
primarily formed from plant inputs of above-and belowground. Aridity is expected to increase …

Tropospheric ozone (O3) is a phytotoxic air pollutant adversely affecting plant growth. High
O3 exposures are often concurrent with summer drought. The effects of both stresses on …
