Grasslands are ubiquitous globally, and their conservation and restoration are critical to
combat both the biodiversity and climate crises. There is increasing interest in implementing …

Human activities have more than doubled reactive nitrogen (N) deposited in ecosystems,
perturbing the N cycle and considerably impacting plant, animal, and microbial communities …

Both nitrogen deposition (ND) and microplastics (MPs) pose global change challenges. The
effects of MPs co-existing with ND on ecosystem functions are still largely unknown. Herein …

Biodiversity time series reveal global losses and accelerated redistributions of species, but
no net loss in local species richness. To better understand how these patterns are linked, we …

ANaerobic MEthanotrophic (ANME) archaea are critical microorganisms mitigating methane
emission from anoxic zones. In previous studies, sulfate-dependent anaerobic oxidation of …

Although awareness that air pollution can damage vegetation dates back at least to the
1600s, the processes and mechanisms of damage were not rigorously studied until the late …

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) deposition can significantly affect forest biodiversity
and production by altering the growth and survival of trees. Three decades of air quality …

Belowground plant traits play important roles in plant diversity loss driven by atmospheric
nitrogen (N) deposition. However, the way N enrichment shapes plant microhabitats by …

Atmospheric deposition of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) compounds from human activity has
greatly declined in the United States (US) over the past several decades in response to …

It has already been proven that trees and shrubs, can efficiently remove particulate matter
(PM) from air. However, almost nothing is known about PM accumulation by herbaceous …
