ABSTRACT Aim Seed mass is a key reproductive trait and closely related to seed dispersal, germination, seedling growth competition capability. Characterising the geographical pattern primary factors of variation crucial for understanding plant strategy under heterogeneous environments. However, how environment, phylogeny life history traits simultaneously affect in China their differences across climate regions remains unclear. Location China. Major Taxa Studied Angiosperm species. Methods...
Abstract The initial concentration of litter nutrient not only affects the following decomposition process but also determines quantities nutrients returned to soil. aim this study is assess global patterns and driving factors three macronutrients, namely potassium (K), calcium (Ca) magnesium (Mg), in freshly fallen litter. By synthesizing 5861 data points extracted from 584 publications, we quantitatively evaluated concentrations K, Ca Mg different types, life forms, taxonomic divisions...
Leaf traits play key roles in plant resource acquisition and ecosystem processes; however, whether the effects of environment phylogeny on leaf differ between herbaceous woody species remains unclear. To address this, this study, we collected data for five from 1,819 angiosperm across 530 sites China. The included specific area, dry matter content, N concentration, P all which are closely related to trade-offs uptake construction. We quantified relative contributions variables trait...
The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) is crucial for understanding the processes of ecological restoration in semi-arid regions. However, partitioning relative influence various attributes, namely taxonomic, functional, phylogenetic diversity, on EMF during secondary succession still unclear. This study aimed to bridge gap by employing field measurements chronosequence approach at 21 plots with different stand ages precipitation conditions Loess Plateau...
The structure and function of aquatic communities in reservoir ecosystems can be strongly affected by dam construction. Ecopath model is an effective tool that reveals the food web pathways energy flows. In this study, it was applied to analyze trophic interactions flows within Manwan ecosystem on Lancang River southwest China. Ecotrophic efficiency (EE) calculated value EE 0.073 for least-exploited piscivorous fishes (top predators) 0.93 most-exploited zoobenthos. Four estimated levels...
Abstract. Trait-based approaches are of increasing concern in predicting vegetation changes and linking ecosystem structures to functions at large scales. However, a critical challenge for such is acquiring spatially continuous plant functional trait maps. Here, six key traits were selected as they can reflect resource acquisition strategies functions, including specific leaf area (SLA), dry matter content (LDMC), N concentration (LNC), P (LPC), (LA) wood density (WD). A total 34 589 situ...
Fine roots play an important role in plant ecological strategies, adaptation to environmental constraints, and ecosystem functions. Covariation among root traits influence the physiological processes of plants ecosystems. Root trait covariation multiple dimensions at global scale has been broadly discussed. How fine-root covary regional whether is generalizable across growth forms, mycorrhizal types, biomes are largely unknown. Here, we collected six key - namely diameter (RD), specific...
Abstract Background Changes in soil greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes caused by nitrogen (N) addition are considered as the key factors contributing to global climate change (global warming and altered precipitation regimes), which turn alters feedback between N GHG fluxes. However, effects of on emissions under highly variable context-dependent, so that further syntheses required. Here, a meta-analysis interactive (warming precipitation) three main GHGs [carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4...
Abstract Aim Root traits play important roles in plant growth and ecosystem processes. Clarifying the primary drivers of variation root is indispensable for understanding predicting responses to environmental changes. Location China. Taxon Seed species. Methods We compiled six key first‐order 437 seed species from different biomes, phylogenetic affiliations, forms mycorrhizal types The included diameter (RD), tissue density (RTD), specific length (SRL), C content (RCC), N (RNC) C:N ratio...
Abstract. Trait-based approaches are of increasing concern in predicting vegetation changes and linking ecosystem structure to functions at large scales. However, a critical challenge for such is acquiring spatially continuous plant functional trait distribution. Here, eight key traits were selected represent two-dimensional spectrum form function, including leaf area (LA), dry matter content (LDMC), N concentration (LNC), P (LPC), height, seed mass (SM), specific (SLA) wood density (WD).
