Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has significantly altered nutrient availability in most terrestrial ecosystems, which may affect plant nutrient re......
The loss of natural wetland habitats along China's coasts has contributed to population declines in waterbirds, especially migratory shorebirds. Ident......
The asymptotic height (H-max) and the size-scaling exponent (beta), proxies of tree size and important forest architectural parameters of the relation......
Biomass allocation to different plant parts affects the subsequent capture rate of resources and reproduction. Thus, many studies have been conducted ......
Invertebrate herbivory is suggested to modulate community shifts caused by climate warming in grasslands. However, experimental evidence is lacking, e......
Long-term variation in the population density of introduced honey bees (Apis mellifera) has been shown to be associated with variations in floral trai......
Sociality is known to be capable of slowing individual senescence, but it is unclear whether the effect differs for reproduction versus survival in a ......
Exotic species invasions have profound effects on native ecosystems, with the ecological effects of non-native plants being especially pervasive. We i......
As wind-borne migration of insects is strongly influenced by atmospheric circulation and weather systems, the relationships between insect population ......
The contribution of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) to the global carbon cycle has largely been overlooked. Flood events can impact h......
Drought has a great impact on global terrestrial ecosystems. A large number of studies have shown that the impact of drought on vegetation growth has ......
Although research on plant rhizosphere is extensive, studies focusing on rhizoplane, rhizosphere, and outer rhizosphere of seagrass remain rare. Here,......
Patterns and elevational controls on the response of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition to temperature in alpine forest soils are critical to eff......
The deposition of reactive nitrogen (N) has substantially increased in subtropical regions due to human activities. However, the effects of long-term ......
The seasonal dynamics of plant communities are important indicators for assessment of long-term vegetation patterns and provide valuable information t......
