Mowing weakens the positive effects of nitrogen deposition on fundamental ecosystem service of grassland

open access: yesEcological Processes, 2021
Forage yield is the fundamental ecosystem service of grasslands. While the quantitative responses of forage yield to nitrogen (N) enrichment are well known, its qualitative responses remain unclear. Even less known is the relative contribution of changes

A collection of fishes from tributaries of the lower Kouilou, Noumbi and smaller coastal basin systems, Republic of the Congo, Lower Guinea, west-central Africa [PDF]

open access: yesCheck List, 2014
A list of fishes is reported from right bank tributaries of the lower Kouilou River, left bank tributaries of the Noumbi River, and a series of independent coastal catchments near Madingo-Kayes in the Kouilou Province of the Republic of Congo. Thirty-two

Exogenous phosphorus compounds interact with nitrogen availability to regulate dynamics of soil inorganic phosphorus fractions in a meadow steppe [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2019
Here we investigated the effects of P compounds (KH2PO4 and Ca(H2PO4)2) with different addition rates of 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 kg P ha−1 yr−1 and NH4NO3 addition (0 and 100 kg N ha−1 yr−1) on ...

Effects of nitrogen addition and drought on the relationship between nitrogen- and water-use efficiency in a temperate grassland

open access: yesEcological Processes, 2023
Background Nitrogen- and water-use efficiency (NUE and WUE) reflect the capacity of plants to take up and utilize resources in the environments. Although N deposition and drought are known to affect plant growth and persistence, it remains elusive how ...

Fungal community dynamics across a forest–alpine ecotone

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, 2021
Climate change is causing upward shift of forest lines worldwide, with consequences for soil biota and carbon (C) sequestration. We here analyse compositional changes in the soil biota across the forest line ecotone, an important transition zone between ...

Carbon and nitrogen contents in particle–size fractions of topsoil along a 3000 km aridity gradient in grasslands of northern China [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2016
Climate factors such as aridity significantly influence soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks in terrestrial ecosystems. Further, soil texture plays an important role in driving changes of soil C and N contents at regional scale.

Effects of different forms of nitrogen addition on microbial extracellular enzyme activity in temperate grassland soil

open access: yesEcological Processes, 2022
Background Nitrogen (N) deposition alters litter decomposition and soil carbon (C) sequestration by influencing the microbial community and its enzyme activity.

Exploring the High-Quality County-Level Development and Governance Response for Farming–Pastoral Ecotone in China: A Case Study of Kulun

open access: yesAgriculture, 2022
As a special territory type, the farming–pastoral ecotone is facing challenges surrounding path creation and high-quality and sustainable development.

Distinct Climate Effects on Dahurian Larch Growth at an Asian Temperate-Boreal Forest Ecotone and Nearby Boreal Sites

open access: yesForests, 2021
Climate change is exerting profound impacts on the structure and function of global boreal forest. Compared with their northern counterparts, trees growing at the southern boreal forest and the temperate-boreal forest ecotone likely show distinct ...

Climate change evidence in tree growth and stand productivity at the upper treeline ecotone in the Polar Ural Mountains

open access: yesForest Ecosystems, 2020
Background Recent warming is affecting species composition and species areal distribution of many regions. However, although most treeline studies have estimated the rates of forest expansion into tundra, still little is known about the long-term dynamic
