Effects of interactions between anthropogenic stressors and recurring perturbations on ecosystem resilience and collapse

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Insights into declines in ecosystem resilience and their causes and effects can inform preemptive action to avoid ecosystem collapse and loss of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well‐being. Empirical studies of ecosystem collapse are rare and hampered by ecosystem complexity, nonlinear and lagged responses, and interactions across ...

The handbook for standardized field and laboratory measurements in terrestrial climate change experiments and observational studies (ClimEx)

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 22-37, January 2020., 2020
Abstract Climate change is a world‐wide threat to biodiversity and ecosystem structure, functioning and services. To understand the underlying drivers and mechanisms, and to predict the consequences for nature and people, we urgently need better understanding of the direction and magnitude of climate change impacts across the soil–plant–atmosphere ...

Seedling Growth and the Environmental Factors of the Non-native Mangrove Species, Sonneratia caseolaris, in Shenzhen Bay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
选取深圳湾红树林的林缘、林窗及郁闭海桑Sonneratia caseolaris林和秋茄Kandelia obovata林等4种环境下自然生长的海桑幼苗,测其生物量、光合特性等指标。结果表明,林缘海桑幼苗生物量累积最大,叶片生物量所占比重最高,幼苗通过提高叶片面积和叶片数量,增加光合速率、水分利用率和光合氮利用率而加速生长。综合分析4种环境的环境因子发现,光照强度是决定幼苗速生并占领生态位的关键生态因子。该结果为研究深圳湾外来种海桑的危害及其防控和管理措施提供参考。This study aimed to

Gradient distributions of nitrogen and organic carbon in the soils from inland to tidal flat in the Yellow River Delta [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
黄河三角洲是我国典型的通过黄河冲积泥沙填海造陆形成的近代沉积区。区域受到黄河冲积、沉积等自然过程和农业耕种熟化等人类活动的双重影响。本研究通过在黄河三角洲地区内陆到河口海湾不同距离采集典型土壤类型剖面发生层样品,探讨土壤有机碳、总氮等生源要素的空间分布规律,为阐明我国典型海岸带地区陆源碳、氮的输送及循环特征提供基础依据。研究结果表明,黄河三角洲内陆与河口地区呈现出完全不同的土壤碳、氮分布规律。表层土壤碳、氮含量在黄河沿岸及三角洲南部均表现出由陆向海逐级递减的空间分布特征 ...

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.

Greenhouse gas emissions from croplands of China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
China possesses cropland of 1.33 million km 2. Cultivation of the cropland not only altered the biogeochemical cycles of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in the agroecosystems but also affected global climate.
