Multi-decadal studies of community and ecosystemdynamics are rare; however, this time frame is most relevant for assessing the impact of anthropogenic influences and climate change on ecosystems. For this reason, we investigated changes in vegetation and

Spatial heterogeneity and irreversible vegetation change in semi-arid grazing systems [PDF]

, 2002
Recent theoretical studies have shown that spatial redistribution of surface water may explain the occurrence of patterns of alternating vegetated and degraded patches in semiarid grasslands.

New field wind manipulation methodology reveals adaptive responses of steppe plants to increased and reduced wind speed

Plant Methods, 2021
Background Wind strongly impacts plant growth, leaf traits, biomass allocation, and stem mechanical properties. However, whether there are common whole-plant wind responses among different plant species is still unclear. We tested this null hypothesis by

Grassland Degradation Has Stronger Effects on Soil Fungal Community Than Bacterial Community across the Semi-Arid Region of Northern China

Plants, 2022
Soil microbes play crucial roles in grassland ecosystem functions, such as soil carbon (C) pool and nutrient cycle. Soil microbes in grasslands are susceptible to the degradation mediated by climate change and anthropogenic disturbance. However, research

Rapid changes of sandy soils caused by vegetation changes [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Soil Science, 1993
Development of Typic Haplorthods in a heathland area in Denmark responded over a short period of time (decades) to changes of vegetation. Part of the heath, Hjelm Hede, was left undisturbed and was invaded by trees, mainly oak and a few aspen and conifers. Another part of the heath was planted with Norway and Sitka spruce 60–70 yr ago. The soils under

The 4.2 ka event in the vegetation record of the central Mediterranean [PDF]

, 2019
In this paper, the variation in forest cover in the central Mediterranean region, reflected by percentage changes in the arboreal pollen record, has been examined in relation to the 4.2 ka event.

Identification of tissue-specific and cold-responsive lncRNAs in Medicago truncatula by high-throughput RNA sequencing

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of plant responses to environmental stress by acting as essential regulators of gene expression.

Biodiversity management of organic orchard enhances both ecological and economic profitability [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Organic farming has been regarded as an alternative solution for both agricultural sustainability and human health maintenance. Few researches have concentrated on the differences of biodiversity and eco-economic benefits between organic and conventional
