Drought and Nitrogen Addition Modulate Wolf Spider‐Associated Responses in a Detrital Food Web Without Detectable Functional Cascades

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Predators are important regulators of grassland biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, but their top‐down effects on detrital food webs under global change remain poorly understood. Using a field mesocosm experiment in a temperate grassland, we show that drought and nitrogen addition independently altered the effects of wolf spiders on soil fauna and ...

Lipid Profiling Leymus chinensis Root Insensitive to Ca Deprivation

, 2022
Abstract Background Leymus chinensis (L. chinensis) is a perennial native forage grass widely distributed in the steppe of Inner Monoglia as the dominant species. Calcium (Ca) as an essential mineral element important for plant’s adaptation to its growth environment. Results In this study, significance of Ca for L.

Natural Vegetation Dynamics Confound the Impact of Ecological Restoration on Dryland Hydrology

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Large‐scale ecological restoration (ER) projects have increased shrub and grass cover and growth in arid and semi‐arid regions, but concurrently reduced terrestrial water storage (TWS) through enhanced evapotranspiration (ET). However, the impact of ER on TWS remains unclear due to the confounding effect of natural vegetation dynamics (driven ...

Non‐random species loss weakens functional diversity and species asynchrony, destabilizing grassland communities

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that grassland community stability is shaped more by the order of loss of species than by the total number of species lost and how these losses reorganize stabilizing processes. To maintain grassland stability under global change, conservation efforts should consider species' functional roles and extinction drivers, because ...
