Response of Grasshopper and Grasshopper Diversity to Different Grassland Types Under Enclosure Conditions

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We found that compared to 40 years ago, there has been a phenomenon of migration and diffusion of dominant locusts and grasshoppers, with some shifting toward higher altitudes and replacing the original dominant species, whereas others are shifting toward lower altitudes.

Earthworms Modulate Impacts of Soil Heterogeneity on Plant Growth at Different Spatial Scales [PDF]

, 2021
[Abstract] Soil heterogeneity (uneven distribution of soil nutrients and/or other properties) is ubiquitous in nature and can greatly affect plant growth.

Integrating land sharing and sparing paradigms in grassland ecology: A perspective on balancing livestock production and biodiversity

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 389-395, December 2025.
This study explores how dispersed grazing (grassland sharing) enhances biodiversity and ecosystem health compared to concentrated grazing (grassland sparing) in Inner Mongolia's grasslands, balancing livestock production with conservation. Abstract The increasing global demand for livestock products (meat, milk, and wool) drives overgrazing, leading to

Testing the Growth Rate Hypothesis in Vascular Plants with Above- and Below-Ground Biomass [PDF]

, 2012
The growth rate hypothesis (GRH) proposes that higher growth rate (the rate of change in biomass per unit biomass, μ) is associated with higher P concentration and lower C∶P and N∶P ratios.

Seed germination characteristics in the perennial grass species Leymus chinensis

Seed Science and Technology, 2004
Chinese leymus, Leymus chinensis (Thin.), is a perennial grass that is widespread in the native grassland of Northeast of China, Mongolia and Eastern Russian. However, the cultivation of this species has been limited due to high level of seed dormancy. This study investigated the characteristics of seed germination of the species.

Long‐term mowing regulates the responses of above‐ and below‐ground net primary productivity stability to water and nitrogen addition in a temperate steppe

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3517-3529, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global change, including atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition, shifts in precipitation patterns, and anthropogenic activities such as mowing, have great impacts on the structure and functions of grassland ecosystems.

Ecological Modules Link Soil Aggregate Stability, Chemical Properties and Fungal Communities Under Plant Species‐Based Revegetation

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
Under plant species‐based revegetation, network analysis revealed that fungal communities exhibited modular responses to variations in soil aggregates and chemical properties. Soil chemical properties shaped symbiotic fungi‐dominated modules; soil aggregates and chemical properties shaped pathogenic fungi‐dominated modules; while saprophytic fungi ...

Differential Effects of Changed Precipitation Patterns on Co-Existing Dominant Species in Inner Mongolia Typical Grassland: Significance for Drought Management [PDF]

, 2021
More extreme precipitation patterns are occurring worldwide in the context of global climate change. These patterns are characterized by larger event size separated by longer within-season drought periods, which are novel climatic conditions to many ...
