N Addition Mitigates Water Stress via Different Photosynthesis and Water Traits for Three Native Plant Species in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Agriculture, 2022
Reseeding with native plants to rebuild alpine meadow has become a popular way of ecological restoration. However, the harsh environment poses a great challenge to the establishment of native plants due to poor management of water and nutrients.

Underground Signals: The Ecological Power of Root Volatiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Root volatiles mediate rhizosphere chemical communication, shaping interactions among plants, microbes, herbivores, and natural enemies. Their production, transport, and perception underpin ecological adaptation, multitrophic interactions, and plant resilience, offering opportunities for sustainable crop protection, resilient agroecosystems, and ...

Effect of Nitrogen on Interaction Between Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycles in High-Altitude Apple Orchards

Agriculture
To elucidate the effects of nitrogen (N) addition on soil carbon (C), N, and phosphorus (P) cycling in high-altitude orchards on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, a three-year field experiment was conducted at an altitude of 3000 m with four N application rates

Responses of root system architecture, biomass allocation, and soil characteristics to water-nitrogen coupling in Piptanthus nepalensis seedlings

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Water scarcity and nitrogen (N) limitation restrict vegetation restoration on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. We investigated the root foraging strategies and soil feedback of the pioneer shrub Piptanthus nepalensis under water-N coupling.
