Subsurface leaf and root litter enhance soil carbon formation compared to surface litter: Direct evidence from a 13C‐labelled incubation experiment

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 390-404, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Litter inputs are a primary source of soil carbon (C), and balancing C sequestration against litter‐induced priming effects (PE) is critical for maintaining soil C dynamics. External disturbances (e.g.

Spatial Distribution of Leymus chinensis Is Not Determined by Its Ecological Stoichiometry

Agronomy, 2023
Leymus chinensis is a widely distributed species of Eurasian grasslands that is well adapted to a range of environmental conditions. In this study, we measured soil and plant chemical elements to examine the basis of the ecological adaptations of L ...

Effects of Rust on Plant Growth and Stoichiometry of Leymuschinensis under Different Grazing Intensities in Hulunber Grassland

Agriculture, 2022
Grazing is the main utilization of native grassland, and forage fungal disease is one of the limiting factors of grassland productivity. The present research in the Hulunber meadow steppe grassland was conducted to investigate the responses of the ...

The effect of modifier and a water-soluble fertilizer on two forages grown in saline-alkaline soil.

PLoS ONE
Saline-alkali soil significantly impairs crop growth. This research employs the impacts of the modifier and water-soluble fertilizer, as well as their interaction, on the root systems of alfalfa and leymus chinensis in saline-alkali soil.

Effects of precipitation and clipping intensity on net primary productivity and composition of a Leymus chinensis temperate grassland steppe. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Leymus chinensis (Trin.) is the dominant vegetation type in eastern Eurasian temperate grasslands but is decreasing due to the combined pressure of reduced precipitation and overgrazing.
