Long‐Term Active Rather than Passive Restoration Promotes Soil Organic Carbon Accumulation by Alleviating Microbial Nitrogen Limitation in an Extremely Degraded Alpine Grassland

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Active restoration increases soil organic carbon stocks by reducing microbial nitrogen limitation. Nitrogen availability promotes particulate to mineral‐associated organic carbon conversion by reducing microbial carbon use efficiency. Passive restoration has no effect on soil organic carbon stocks.

Systematic Study of PDMS Optical Waveguides for Pressure Sensing Using Design of Experiments

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A response surface methodology was used to systematically evaluate the impact of mix ratio and cure conditions on PDMS optical waveguide properties for pressure sensing. Mix ratio significantly influenced compression sensitivity, compressive modulus, and propagation loss, while cure temperature primarily affected refractive index.

Linking changes of forage production and digestibility with grassland community assembly under nitrogen enrichment

Ecological Processes, 2021
Background Forage production is the fundamental ecosystem service of grasslands. Although forage consumption occurs at community level, most studies focused on species-level changes of forage quality.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Small mammals of the Mongolian mountain steppe region near Erdensant: insights from live-trapping and bird pellet remains. [PDF]

Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2005
Relatively little is known of the distribution, abundance and ecology of small mammals in Mongolia and as a result there is scant knowledge of the effects of environmental and anthropogenic factors on small mammal populations.

Temporal and Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Drought and Its Influence on Vegetation Change in Xilin Gol, China

Atmosphere, 2022
Drought hinders economic and social growth in many areas of China, especially in livestock-dominated Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia. Most studies exclusively utilize rainfall to measure drought.
