Removing subordinate species in a biodiversity experiment to mimic observational field studies
Grassland Research, 2022 Background Positive effects of plant species richness on community biomass in biodiversity experiments are often stronger than those from observational field studies.

Grassland Research, 2023 Background Revegetation is widely used in degraded grassland restoration. However, the responses of grassland plant and soil properties to fencing (FC) and grazing (GZ) remain poorly understood, especially the vegetation–soil coupling coordination (Cd ...

Divergent accumulation of microbial necromass and plant lignin components in grassland soils
Nature Communications, 2018 The means through which microbes and plants contribute to soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation remain elusive due to challenges in disentangling the complex components of SOC.

Global Diversification Rates of Ferns Across Spatial and Climatic Gradients
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Diversification rates of fern genera across the phylogeny. Abstract Geographic patterns of diversity in any group of plants are the result of the interplay of environmental conditions and the evolutionary dynamics of the respective plant group. Here, the geographic distribution of current mean diversification rates (MDR) is explored at the genus level ...

Grazing-induced biodiversity loss impairs grassland ecosystem stability at multiple scales.
Ecology Letters, 2020 Livestock grazing is a major driver shaping grassland biodiversity, functioning and stability. Whether grazing impacts on grassland ecosystems are scale-dependent remains unclear.

A Degradable Bioinspired Flier with Aerogel‐Based Colorimetric Sensors for Environmental Monitoring
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Biodegradable fliers are developed inspired by Tipuana tipu samaras, integrating cellulose nanocrystal aerogel (CNCa) sensors loaded with natural dyes for pH and ammonia detection. The lightweight, degradable fliers mimic natural morphology and aerodynamics, offering an eco‐friendly, scalable solution for in situ environmental monitoring after passive ...

Global Evidence of the Unimodal Response of Ecosystem Respiration to Soil Moisture
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Using global eddy covariance observations and a field experiment, this paper provides compelling evidence for the widespread unimodal relationship between soil moisture and ecosystem respiration and its water adaptation. Such knowledge facilitates understanding of soil moisture in affecting respiratory carbon emissions and has the potential to improve ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Soil nutrient enrichment induces the trade‐offs between bacterial functional potential and growth‐rate potential. Such trade‐offs favor specific plant‐beneficial species and genes, playing a pivotal role in determining plant productivity. These findings enhance the understanding of the microbial responses in agroecosystems to ongoing global ...
