Above-and belowground linkages shape responses of mountain vegetation to climate change
Upward shifts of mountain vegetation lag behind rates of climate warming, partly related to
interconnected changes belowground. Here, we unravel above-and belowground linkages …

Differential responses of soil microbial biomass, diversity, and compositions to altitudinal gradients depend on plant and soil characteristics
C Ren, W Zhang, ZK Zhong, X Han, G Yang… - Science of the Total …, 2018 - Elsevier
Alt'itudinal gradients strongly affect plant biodiversity, but the effects on microbial patterns
remain unclear, especially in the large scale. We therefore designed an altitudinal gradient …

A tipping point in carbon storage when forest expands into tundra is related to mycorrhizal recycling of nitrogen
Tundra ecosystems are global belowground sinks for atmospheric CO2. Ongoing warming‐
induced encroachment by shrubs and trees risks turning this sink into a CO2 source …

Patterns in intraspecific variation in root traits are species‐specific along an elevation gradient
Intraspecific trait variation is an important driver of plant performance in different
environments. Although roots acquire essential resources that vary with the environment …

Ecological stoichiometry in leaves, roots, litters and soil among different plant communities in a desertified region of Northern China
Y Yang, BR Liu, SS An - Catena, 2018 - Elsevier
Ecological stoichiometry reflects the element content and energy flow, which are important
for biogeochemical cycling in ecosystems. However, the ecological stoichiometry in leaves …
