The soil environment serves as an assembling area for microplastics, and is an important
secondary source of microplastics in other environmental media. Recently, soil microplastics …

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

Global atmospheric nitrogen deposition significantly affects the nutrient cycling and C–N–P
stoichiometry in ecosystems. Herein, a global meta-analysis was conducted based on 898 …

Plants invest a considerable amount of leaf nitrogen in the photosynthetic enzyme ribulose-
1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (RuBisCO), forming a strong coupling of nitrogen …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution is increasingly appreciated as a significant environmental
issue, however, the large-scale pattern of MPs in farmland soils and its associated …

A significant increase in reactive nitrogen (N) added to terrestrial ecosystems through
agricultural fertilization or atmospheric deposition is considered to be one of the most …

Global patterns of leaf nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry have been interpreted
as reflecting phenotypic plasticity in response to the environment, or as an overriding effect …

Plant secondary metabolites (SMs) play crucial roles in plant‐environment interactions and
contribute greatly to human health. Global climate changes are expected to dramatically …

Soil extracellular enzymes play an important role in microbial functions and soil nutrient
cycling in the context of increasing N deposition globally. This is particularly important for …

The traditional view holds that biological nitrogen (N) fixation is energetically expensive and
thus, facultative N fixers reduce N fixation rates while obligate N fixers are excluded by non …
