Microplastics are heterogeneously distributed in soils. However, it is unknown whether soil
microplastic heterogeneity affects plant growth and root foraging responses and whether …

Large-scale vegetation restoration has been performed to improve the fragile ecological
environment of the Loess Plateau in the last decades. At present, the effects and mechanism …

Contamination of soils by microplastics can have profound ecological impacts on terrestrial
ecosystems and has received increasing attention. However, few studies have considered …

Soil resource heterogeneity can affect plant growth and competitive ability. However, little is
known about how soil resource heterogeneity affects competitive interactions between …

Soil heterogeneity (uneven distribution of soil nutrients and/or other properties) is ubiquitous
in nature and can greatly affect plant growth. As earthworm activity can influence nutrient …

The interlacing and mosaic distribution of karst soil and rock result in the high spatial
heterogeneity of the natural karst habitat. Karst plants are suffered from spatially …

Aim Soil abiotic and biotic conditions are often spatially variable, challenging plants with a
heterogeneous environment consisting of favorable and unfavorable patches of soil. Many …

Estuarine wetlands are highly heterogeneous due to strong interactions between freshwater
input and seawater intrusion. However, little is known about how clonal plant populations …
