Photo-produced aromatic compounds stimulate microbial degradation of dissolved organic carbon in thermokarst lakes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Photochemical and biological degradation of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and their interactions jointly contribute to the carbon dioxide released from surface waters in permafrost regions.

Non-destructive estimation of field maize biomass using terrestrial lidar: an evaluation from plot level to individual leaf level

open access: yesPlant Methods, 2020
Background Precision agriculture is an emerging research field that relies on monitoring and managing field variability in phenotypic traits. An important phenotypic trait is biomass, a comprehensive indicator that can reflect crop yields.

Sphagnum increases soil’s sequestration capacity of mineral-associated organic carbon via activating metal oxides

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Sphagnum wetlands are global hotspots for carbon storage, conventionally attributed to the accumulation of decay-resistant litter. However, the buildup of mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) with relatively slow turnover has rarely been examined ...

Mapping Forage Biomass and Quality of the Inner Mongolia Grasslands by Combining Field Measurements and Sentinel-2 Observations

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Grasslands provide essential forage sources for global livestock production. Remote sensing approaches have been widely used to estimate the biomass production of grasslands from regional to global scales, but simultaneously mapping the forage biomass ...

Using organic fertilizers to increase crop yield, economic growth, and soil quality in a temperate farmland [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2020
We used a constant total N application base rate to conduct a two-year field experiment comparing the effects of three organic fertilizers (rapeseed meal (RSM), soybean meal (SBM), and cattle manure (CM)) on the crop yield, economic growth, and soil ...

Vegetative Phase Change Causes Age-Dependent Changes in Phenotypic Plasticity [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2021
SummaryPhenotypic plasticity allows organisms to optimize traits for their environment. As organisms age, they experience diverse environments that benefit from varying degrees of phenotypic plasticity. Developmental transitions can control these age-dependent changes in plasticity and as such, the timing of these transitions can determine when ...

Comparisons of weed community, soil health and economic performance between wheat-maize and garlic-soybean rotation systems under different weed managements [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
This study compared the impacts of different weed managements on weed community, soil health and economic performance between the wheat–maize (WM) and garlic–soybean (GS) rotations.

Effects of shrub encroachment on soil aggregates and organic carbon vary in different grasslands in Inner Mongolia, China

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Widespread shrub encroachment in grasslands can lead to changes in soil aggregates and soil organic carbon (SOC), especially in deep soils. Soil aggregates physicochemically protect SOC and thus affect soil carbon sequestration.

Quantified vegetation change over 42 years at Cape Hallett, East Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper reports on the remapping of a carefully documented vegetation plot at Cape Hallett (72°19′S 170°16′E) to provide an assessment of the rates of vegetation change over decadal time scales. E.D.
