Defoliation and fertilisation differentially moderate root trait effects on soil abiotic and biotic properties

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 12, Page 2733-2749, December 2023., 2023
Our results indicate that defoliation and fertilisation, two common grassland perturbations, have contrasting impacts on root traits of grassland plant species, with direct and indirect short‐term consequences for a wide range of soil abiotic and biotic properties that underpin ecosystem functioning.

Escaping social–ecological traps through ecological restoration and socioeconomic development in China's Loess Plateau

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 1364-1379, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The social–ecological trap is an emerging concept that describes situations in which self‐reinforcing social and ecological feedbacks maintain or push a social–ecological system towards an undesirable state and threaten the sustainability of human societies.

Variation in mycorrhizal communities and the level of mycoheterotrophy in grassland and Forest populations of Neottia ovata (Orchidaceae)

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page 1948-1961, July 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Orchid mycorrhiza forms unique symbiotic associations between members of the Orchidaceae and multiple ecological guilds of fungi. Because orchids associate with a wide variety of fungi with different ecological functions, they represent an ideal study system to address ...

黄土高原土壤可蚀性对退耕还林(草)的响应

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2023
退耕还林(草)的实施显著影响黄土高原退耕地土壤理化属性,进而可能影响土壤可蚀性。然而,目前黄土高原全区土壤可蚀性对退耕方式的响应及其区域特征尚不明确。为此,以耕地为对照,以黄土高原4个降雨量带内(200~300,300~400,400~500,>500 mm)的3种退耕地(乔木林地、灌木地和草地)为对象,通过野外调查和室内分析,研究不同类型退耕地土壤理化性质,采用EPIC模型估算土壤可蚀性,分析不同退耕方式对黄土高原不同区域土壤可蚀性的影响。结果表明:就整个黄土高原而言,退耕地0—20 ...

土壤干层量化指标初探

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2000
土壤干层是黄土高原一种常见的土训物理现象。近年来,以林草地地力衰退为特征的人工林草地土壤干化日益严重,其直接后果就是形成土壤干层,导致土地退化,植被生长速率减缓,群落衰败以至大片死亡,严重地威胁到我国北方地区特别是黄土高原地区的生态环境建设,由此土壤干层及其危害才逐渐受到了人们的重视。根据影响水分性质地因素及水分动脉分布规律,初步探讨了土壤干怪的量化指标和分级,以便今后系统深入研究和解决黄土高原的土壤干层问题。

陕北黄土高原陡坡耕地土壤侵蚀变异的空间格局

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2000
陡坡垦荒耕种是黄土高原人为加速土壤侵蚀的重要原因之一。但有关坡地景观尺度土壤侵蚀速率的定量资料却相对较少。利用环境放射性核素铯-137技术定量评价了陕北黄土高原典型山坡地顺坡断面(240m)土壤重新分布的空间变化及其影响因素。结果表明,黄土高原坡地土壤侵蚀速率存在明显的空间格局,即山坡中、上部是土壤最为严重的地带,土壤平均侵蚀速率高达82.8t/hm^2.a以上;山顶和坡脚侵蚀速率较小,土壤平均侵蚀速率分别为17.1t/hm^2.a及22.3t/hm^2.a;而坡下部土壤侵蚀速率居中 ...

Wildfire strengthens the relationship between soil biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality in subtropical forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1415-1427, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wildfires are disrupting and regenerating forces in nature that affect all ecosystem components. However, the impact of wildfires on soil multitrophic biodiversity and the resulting consequences for ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) remain poorly understood.

黄土高原土壤可蚀性因子空间分布特征及影响因素

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2023
为揭示黄土高原地区土壤可蚀性(K)的空间分布特征和影响因素,基于EPIC模型、几何平均粒径模型、Torri模型估算黄土高原地区K,并结合地理探测器比较土壤理化性质、海拔、坡度等要素对K空间分布的影响。结果表明:(1)EPIC模型、几何平均粒径模型、Torri模型估算的黄土高原地区K均值分别为0.036,0.034,0.041 。黄土高原以中可蚀性和中高可蚀性的土壤为主,不同模型对K的估算值有显著差异(F=4.460,p<0.01)。(2)黄土高原K有较为显著的空间异质性,东部和西南地区K较高 ...

Landscape Composition and Proximity to Water Affect American Badger Occupancy in Shortgrass Prairies 景观组成和与水的距离影响矮草草原中美洲獾的占域率

open access: yesWildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 23-31, March 2026.
American badgers, a medium‐sized carnivore occurring in much of North America, are important predators in prairie landscapes though our understanding of their habitat use requirements in these areas is unclear. We used a multi‐scale approach to understand American badger habitat use at both local and landscape scales.

Herbivore species and patch heterogeneity modulate grazing‐induced shifts in soil nematode trophic structure and energy flux

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 163-175, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Grazing by large herbivores is a critical factor shaping grassland biodiversity and ecosystem functioning worldwide, yet its consequences for soil communities remain poorly understood.
