Increased anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition is driving N-limited ecosystems towards
phosphorus (P) limitation. Plants have evolved strategies to respond to P limitation which …

Nitrogen (N) is an important component of the forest soils and plays a pivotal role in the
ecosystem's health, also in broadleaf and Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forests …

The concept of a root economics space (RES) is increasingly adopted to explore root trait
variation and belowground resource‐acquisition strategies. Much progress has been made …

Root exudation stimulates microbial decomposition and enhances nutrient availability to
plants. It remains difficult to measure and predict this carbon flux in natural conditions …

Understanding the determinants of soil carbon mineralization at both the aggregate and
rhizosphere levels is crucial for providing precise feedback on climate change. However, the …

Rhizosphere effects control soil biogeochemical cycling. However, quantitative assessment
of rhizosphere effects on belowground processes such as carbon and nitrogen cycling …

Background Tropical tree species can maintain high growth rates on low-phosphorus (P)
soils. However, the physiological basis of the high growth rates of tropical tree species …

The rhizosphere controls soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling via rhizodeposition.
However, rhizosphere effects on soil C mineralization (C min) and net N mineralization (N …

The Tibetan Plateau, known as the “Roof of the world”, is the highest plateau on Earth. It is
the origin of major Asian rivers, and hence also called the “Asian Water Tower”. The plateau …

The nitrogen (N) economics of plants are generally described in terms of functional traits and
how these affect N availability in a given environment. However, recent studies have shown …
