Elevation-dependent variations of tree growth and intrinsic water-use efficiency in Schrenk spruce (Picea schrenkiana) in the western Tianshan Mountains, China [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Rising atmospheric CO2 concentration (Ca) is expected to accelerate tree growth by enhancing photosynthesis and increasing intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE).

Ceriporiopsis tianshanensis (Polyporales, Agaricomycetes) and Sidera tianshanensis (Hymenochaetales, Agaricomycetes), two new species of wood-inhabiting fungi from Xinjiang, Northwest China [PDF]
MycoKeys, 2023 Wood-inhabiting fungi are abundant in China, but their distribution is uneven, with more fungi in southwest China and fewer fungi in northwest China. During the investigation of wood-inhabiting fungi in Xinjiang, we collected a large number of specimens.

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Biological invasions are a leading ecological issue of the 21st century because of their worldwide contributions to biodiversity loss and degradation of ecosystem services. Answering general questions about the mechanisms facilitating the spread of successful invasives is key to understanding how to manage them moving forward.

What determines plant species diversity along the Modern Silk Road in the east?
iMeta, Volume 2, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a quick and accurate method for biodiversity assessment. This study first used eDNA‐assessed regional plant species diversity. Temperature instead of precipitation is the main factors affecting plant diversity. Human activities were proven to affect plant species diversity in desert areas.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 19, Page 13081-13100, October 2021., 2021 Adaptive capacity has yet to be assessed in a quantitative way that is comparable across tree species, precluding its widespread use in assessments of vulnerability to climate change. We propose a framework to quantitatively evaluate five key components of adaptive capacity: individual adaptation through phenotypic plasticity, population phenotypic ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 15, Page 8166-8175, August 2020., 2020 With increasing altitude, leaf length and width decreased in all three species, whereas leaf thickness increased. Stomatal density in each species also increased with increasing altitude; however, both stoma length and width decreased. Thickness of the leaf upper epidermis, lower epidermis, palisade and spongy mesophyll, and midrib increased with ...
