Plants operate along a continuum of stringency regulation plant water potential from isohydry to anisohydry. However, most metrics and proxies iso/anisohydric behavior have been developed limited sets site-specific experiments. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that determine species' operating ranges this continuum, independent site growing conditions, remains challenging. We compiled global database assess patterns iso/anisohydry then explored some functional traits trade-offs...
Abstract. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) additions to forest ecosystems are known influence various above-ground properties, such as plant productivity composition, below-ground soil nutrient cycling. However, our understanding of how microbial communities their functions respond in subtropical plantations is still not complete. In this study, we added N P Chinese fir China examine influenced community composition enzyme activities. The results showed that most properties were responsive...
Abstract Despite increasing recognition of the critical role coastal wetlands in mitigating climate change, sea‐level rise, and salinity increase, soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration mechanisms estuarine remain poorly understood. Here, we present new results on source, decomposition, storage SOC with four vegetation types, including single Phragmites australis (P, habitat I), a mixture P. Suaeda salsa (P + S, II), S. (S, III), tidal flat (TF, IV) across gradient. Values δ 13 C increased...
Summary Fine roots of woody plants comprise multiple root orders, which can be functionally partitioned into two pools: absorptive fine ( AFR s, orders 1, 2) and transport TFR 3–5). However, the function‐based fine‐root dynamics especially their responses to increased nitrogen (N) availability remain unclear. We explored dynamic both s Pinus elliottii N addition in subtropical China based on a 4‐yr minirhizotron experiment two‐stage – early (0.5 yr) vs late (4 decomposition experiment....
Summary The root economics space (RES) is multidimensional and largely shaped by belowground biotic abiotic influences. However, how root–fungal symbioses edaphic fertility drive this complexity remains unclear. Here, we measured absorptive traits of 112 tree species in temperate subtropical forests China, including linked to functional differences between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) ectomycorrhizal (ECM) hosts. Our data, from known species, revealed a ‘fungal‐symbiosis’ dimension...
Plant species diversity affects carbon and nutrient cycling during litter decomposition, yet the generality of direction this effect its magnitude remains uncertain. With a meta-analysis including 65 field studies across Earth’s major forest ecosystems, we show here that decomposition was faster when composed more than one species. These positive biodiversity effects were mostly driven by temperate forests but variable in other forests. Litter mixture emerged most strongly early stages...
The rapid emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants concern, the complexity infection, and functional redundancy host factors, underscore an urgent need for broad-spectrum antivirals against continuous COVID-19 pandemic, with drug repurposing as a viable therapeutic strategy. Here we report potential RNA G-quadruplex (RG4)-targeting strategy entry. Combining bioinformatics, biochemical biophysical approaches, characterize existence RG4s in several factors. In silico screening followed by experimental...
Summary Strategies for deep soil water acquisition ( WA ) are critical to a species’ adaptation drought. However, it is unknown how determines the abundance and resource economy strategies of understorey shrub species. With data from 13 species in subtropical coniferous plantations, we investigated associations between magnitude , seasonal plasticity midday leaf potential (Ψ md ), economic traits across organs. Higher capacity was associated with higher intrinsic use efficiency, but not...
The degree of plant iso/anisohydry, a widely used framework for classifying species-specific hydraulic strategies, integrates multiple components the whole-plant pathway. However, little is known about how it associates with coordination functional and structural traits within across different organs. We examined stem leaf capacitance conductivity/conductance, xylem anatomical features, stomatal regulation daily minimum water potential (Ψ), kinetics responses to vapour pressure deficit (VPD)...
Summary Traits are critical in predicting decomposition that fuels carbon and nutrient cycling ecosystems. However, our understanding of root trait–decomposition linkage, especially its dependence on mycorrhizal type environmental context, remains limited. We explored the control morphological chemical (carbon‐ nutrient‐related) traits over absorptive roots 30 tree species associated with either arbuscular (AM) or ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi temperate subtropical forests China....
Summary Unravelling belowground strategies is critical for understanding species coexistence and successional dynamics; yet, our knowledge of nutrient acquisition forest at different stages remains limited. We measured morphological (diameter, specific root length, tissue density), architectural (branching ratio), physiological (ammonium, nitrate, glycine uptake rates) traits, mycorrhizal colonisation rates eight coexisting woody in an early plantation subtropical China. By incorporating...
Coastal wetlands contribute to the mitigation of climate change through sequestration "blue carbon". Microbial necromass, lignin, and glycoproteins (i.e., glomalin-related soil proteins (GRSP)), as important components organic carbon (SOC), are sensitive environmental change. However, their contributions blue formation underlying factors remain largely unresolved. To address this paucity knowledge, we investigated along a salinity gradient in coastal marshes. Our results revealed decreasing...
Abstract To adapt to the complex belowground environment, plants make trade-offs between root resource acquisition and defence ability. This includes forming partnerships with different types of associating microorganisms, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal ectomycorrhizal fungi. These trade-offs, by mediating chemistry, exert legacy effects on nutrient release during decomposition, which may, in turn, affect ability new roots re-acquire resources, thereby generating a feedback loop. However,...
ABSTRACT The segmentation hypothesis, a framework for understanding plant drought adaptive strategy, has long been based on hydraulic resistance and vulnerability. Storage of water carbohydrate resources is another critical function shapes adaption fitness together with efficiency However, patterns implications the interdependency stored in context hypothesis are poorly understood. We measured resource pools (relative content [RWC] soluble sugar [SS] starch [S]) anatomical features leaves...
