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 ...

Abstract Our knowledge on the responses of permafrost ecosystems to climate warming is critical for assessing the direction and magnitude of permafrost carbon‐climate feedback. However, most of the previous experiments have only been able to warm the air and surface soil, with limited effects on the permafrost temperature.

Abstract Successful use of stable isotopes (δ2H and δ18O) in ecohydrological studies relies on the accurate extraction of unfractionated water from different types of soil samples. Cryogenic vacuum distillation (CVD) is a common laboratory‐based technique used for soil water extraction; however, the reliability of this technique in reflecting soil ...

Factors that shape large‐scale gradients in clonality
Abstract Aim Many plant species reproduce clonally. However, ecologists still have much to learn about the factors that shape large‐scale patterns in plant clonal growth and reproduction, especially in the southern hemisphere. We addressed this knowledge gap by quantifying relationships between reproductive mode and a suite of plant characteristics and

Abstract There is increasing interestin broad‐scale analysis, modeling, and prediction of the distribution and composition of plant species assemblages under climatic, environmental, and biotic change, particularly for conservation purposes. We devised a method to reliably predict the impact of climate change on large assemblages of plant communities ...

土壤呼吸作用时空动态变化及其影响机制研究与展望. [PDF]
测定不同陆地生态系统土壤呼吸速率及其时空波动,阐明其影响因子,对于全球碳素平衡预算和全球变化潜在效应估计是最为基本的数据。然而,有关土壤呼吸作用变异性及其影响因素的知识仍存在局限性,一些关键的过程和机制还有待阐明。该文综述了近年来土壤呼吸作用时空动态规律、影响机制和模拟方面的研究进展,指出环境因子和生物因子共同驱动着土壤呼吸作用的时间动态变化;土壤呼吸作用在不同时间尺度上还具有明显的空间异质性,这主要是植被覆盖、根系分布、主要的环境因素和土壤特性空间分布的异质性造成的 ...

Effects of crop species on soil functions and soil multifunctionality are species‐specific
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil multifunctionality is essential for sustainable agriculture, as soils not only need to support crop growth but also maintain soil biodiversity and sustain other critical ecosystem functions.
