Spatial Heterogeneity of Soil Nutrients after the Establishment of Caragana intermedia Plantation on Sand Dunes in Alpine Sandy Land of the Tibet Plateau.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The Gonghe Basin region of the Tibet Plateau is severely affected by desertification. Compared with other desertified land, the main features of this region is windy, cold and short growing season, resulting in relatively difficult for vegetation ...

Functional Diversity and Invasive Species Influence Soil Fertility in Experimental Grasslands

Plants, 2020
Ecosystem properties can be positively affected by plant functional diversity and compromised by invasive alien plants. We performed a community assembly study in mesocosms manipulating different functional diversity levels for native grassland plants ...

Spatial variation of soil nutrients and evaluation of cultivated land quality based on field scale

Open Geosciences, 2023
The current cultivated land quality (CLQ) evaluation method fails to consider the determination of soil nutrients, resulting in the low efficiency of soil nutrient message extraction.

Rubber trees demonstrate a clear retranslocation under seasonal drought and cold stresses

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Having been introduced to the northern edge of Asian tropics, the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) has become deciduous in this climate with seasonal drought and cold stresses.

Climate and soil nutrients differentially drive multidimensional fine root traits in ectomycorrhizal‐dominated alpine coniferous forests

Journal of Ecology, 2020
Fine root traits vary greatly with environmental changes, but the understanding of root trait variation and its drivers is limited over broad geographical scales, especially for ectomycorrhizal (ECM)‐dominated conifers in alpine forests.

Fertimetro, a Principle and Device to Measure Soil Nutrient Availability for Plants by Microbial Degradation Rates on Differently-Spiked Buried Threads [PDF]

, 2018
A novel patented method (PCT/IB2012/001157: Squartini, Concheri, Tiozzo, University of Padova) and the corresponding application devices, suitable to measure soil fertility, are presented. The availability or deficiency of specific nutrients for crops is

Vegetation degradation impacts soil nutrients and enzyme activities in wet meadow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Scientific Reports, 2020
Vegetation degradation, due to climate change and human activities, changes the biomass, vegetation species composition, and soil nutrient input sources and thus affects soil nutrient cycling and enzyme activities.

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Rhizophagus irregularis on soil microorganisms assessed by metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics

, 2019
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbioses with approximately 80% of plant species and potentially benefit their hosts (e.g. nutrient acquisition) and the soil environment (e.g. soil aggregation).
