Synergistic and Trade‐Off Effects of Plant Communities on Slope Runoff and Sediment Yield

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant community functional structure plays an important role in regulating slope runoff and sediment yield on the Loess Plateau. Based on runoff plot monitoring and vegetation surveys in the Yangjuangou catchment, we used partial least squares regression (PLSR) and variable importance in projection (VIP) analysis to assess the effects of ...

Effect of Stand Density on Soil Microbial Carbon and Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Robinia pseudoacacia Plantations in the Loess Hilly‐Gully Region, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial carbon (CUE) and nitrogen (NUE) use efficiency are critical for soil carbon (C) sequestration and nitrogen (N) availability. However, how microbial CUE and NUE respond to stand density is unclear. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether the response of microbial CUE and NUE to stand density could be mediated by soil depth.

Cotton strips as a model substrate for analysis of leaf‐litter‐colonizing microbial assemblages in streams

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Leaf‐litter decomposition is a key indicator of the functional integrity of stream ecosystems and cotton strips have been employed as a standard substrate for quantification of litter‐decomposition rates in streams across the globe. Cotton strips also offer a standardized method for assessing structural integrity of stream microbial ...

Automatization of multistep sample preparation for microplastics monitoring in aquatic environments

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Microplastics (MP) have been found in every environmental compartment in urban and remote areas. Although their ubiquity is widely recognized, the lack of harmonized protocols for sampling, sample preparation, and particle identification/quantification hinders comparability among studies.

Linking hierarchical assembly rules and diversity patterns of soil fungi in primary succession

Oikos, EarlyView.
Ecological succession affects natural communities in numerous ways, including deterministic (e.g. environmental filtering and biotic interactions) and stochastic processes (e.g. ecological drift and homogeneous dispersal). These processes may act across different spatial scales to set local communities, including environmental drivers characterizing ...
