Forest Conversion Reduces Soil Water Retention in Tropical Rainforest

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extensive primary forests are being converted to secondary forests and plantations owing to human activities in recent decades, which have substantial effects on soil hydrological processes. However, the potential impact of forest conversion on soil water retention remains poorly understood.

Species‐Specific Shrub Encroachment Drives Divergent Soil Fungal Assembly Processes and Network Structures in Alpine Meadows

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shrub encroachment is rapidly transforming alpine meadow ecosystems worldwide, yet its consequences for belowground microbial organization remain insufficiently understood, particularly when different shrub species exert contrasting ecological effects.

Asymmetric Response of Soil Heterotrophic Respiration and Its Temperature Sensitivity in a Desert Steppe Under Climate Change

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil heterotrophic respiration (Rh) and its temperature sensitivity (Q10) are important variables reflecting the intensity of feedback between the grassland carbon cycle and climate change. However, the factors regulating Rh and Q10 in desert grasslands under climate change remain unclear, and the asymmetric response of Rh during warming and ...

Bulbophyllum weddellii (Orchidaceae) demonstrates foliar water uptake plasticity along Brazilian campos rupestres

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phenotypic plasticity can facilitate species survival in a variety of conditions that are not possible with a fixed phenotype. Foliar water uptake (FWU), defined as the absorption of water through leaf surfaces, is an important mechanism contributing to plant water balance and drought tolerance in many species.
