Factors that shape large‐scale gradients in clonality
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 827-837, May 2023., 2023 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

Evaluation and redesign of the primers for detecting nitrogen cycling genes in environments
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1976-1989, September 2022., 2022 Abstract A better understanding of how nitrogen (N) cycling genes are involved in ecological processes is one of the crucial areas of microbial ecology. Currently, most molecular biological techniques investigating N cycling genes in the environment heavily rely on the accuracy of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers; however, their specificity ...

Electrolyte With Functionalized Boron Nitride Nanosheets for Dendrite‐Free Lithium Metal Anodes
Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are regarded as promising candidates for the next‐generation high‐energy‐density storage systems due to their unparalleled theoretical energy density and low redox potential. However, the commercialization of LMBs is tremendously plagued by the barbaric growth of lithium dendrite and the intricate decomposition ...

High nitrogen enrichment buffers plant photosynthesis against herbivory damage
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 229-238, January 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivorous insects and nitrogen deposition are key drivers of ecosystem productivity under global change. However, their combined effects on plant photosynthesis, particularly during insect outbreaks, remain poorly understood in natural ecosystems.

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3504-3516, December 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition strongly affects litter decomposition and nutrient release, thereby reshaping carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Although most studies have focused on above‐ground litter, the effects of N addition on fine root decomposition and their ...

Trait‐Mediated Competition for Light Underpins Plant Diversity Loss Under Eutrophication
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.Eutrophication often reduces plant diversity by making the ground layer darker, which reduces understory plants. In a natural alpine grassland, we added LED light beneath the canopy and saw diversity return across different nutrient treatments: with added nitrogen fertilizer, light mainly increased new species; with added phosphorus fertilizer, it ...

Multiple global change factors alter the scaling of nitrogen to phosphorus in alpine plants
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 2044-2055, August 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The stoichiometry and allometry of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) reflect nutrient absorption and dynamic allocation by plants, and can be regulated by global change factors (e.g. nitrogen enrichment, climate warming and altered precipitation). Yet, how multiple global

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 3, Page 1117-1128, August 2025.Summary Environmental changes and their effects are among the most pressing topics of today's ecological research. Shrublands, although widespread across the globe, remain understudied in this respect. We conducted a global meta‐analysis of 81 shrubland sites subjected to experimental warming, shifts in precipitation (e.g.
