Abstract Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) input is known to alter plant and microbial α‐diversity, but how N enrichment influences β‐diversity of communities remains poorly understood. Using a long‐term multilevel addition experiment in temperate steppe, we show that plant, soil bacterial fungal exhibited different responses their input. Plant decreased linearly as increased, result increased directional environmental filtering, where properties largely explained variation β‐diversity. Soil first...
Abstract Microbes, similar to plants and animals, exhibit biogeographic patterns. However, in contrast with the considerable knowledge on island biogeography of higher organisms, we know little about distribution microorganisms within among islands. Here, explored insular soil bacterial fungal underlying mechanisms, using microbiota from a group land-bridge islands as model system. Similar species-area relationships observed for many macroorganisms, both island-scale diversity increased...
Allocation of limiting resources, such as nutrients, is an important adaptation strategy for plants. Plants may allocate different nutrients within a specific organ or the same nutrient among organs. In this study, we investigated allocation strategies nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in leaves, stems roots 126 shrub species from 172 shrubland communities Northern China using scaling analyses. Results showed that N P have relationships plant The concentration across organs tended to be...
There is increasing awareness of invasion in microbial communities worldwide, but the mechanisms behind invasions remain poorly understood. Specifically, we know little about how evolutionary and ecological differences between invaders natives regulate success impact. Darwin's naturalization hypothesis suggests that phylogenetic distance could be a useful predictor invasion, modern coexistence theory proposes invader-native niche fitness combine to determine outcome. However, relative...
Abstract Large‐scale patterns of species richness and the underlying mechanisms regulating these have long been central issues in biogeography macroecology. Phylogenetic community structure is a result combined effects contemporary ecological interactions, environmental filtering, evolutionary history, it links ecology with trait evolution. The Q inghai‐ T ibetan P lateau provides good opportunity to test influence climate on shaping because its unique geological cold climate, high...
Summary The study of islands has made substantial contributions to the development evolutionary and ecological theory. However, we know little about microbial community assembly on islands. Using soil data collected from 29 lake nearby mainland, examined mechanisms bacterial fungal communities among within We found that deterministic processes, especially homogeneous selection, tended be more important in shaping islands, while stochastic processes Moreover, increasing island area increased...
There is growing evidence that land-use management practices such as livestock grazing can strongly impact the local diversity, functioning, and stability of grassland communities. However, whether these impacts depend on environmental condition propagate to larger spatial scales remains unclear. Using an 8-year exclosure experiment conducted at nine sites in Tibetan Plateau covering a large precipitation gradient, we found herbivore exclusion increased temporal alpine biomass production...
Abstract. Concentrations of leaf nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are two key traits plants for ecosystem functioning dynamics. Foliar stoichiometry varies remarkably among life forms. However, previous studies have focused on the stoichiometric patterns trees grasses, leaving a significant knowledge gap shrubs. In this study, we explored intraspecific interspecific variations N P concentrations in response to changes climate, soil property, evolutionary history. We analysed 1486 samples...
Abstract Climate change is known to affect many facets of the Earth's ecosystems. However, little about its impacts on phylogenetic and functional properties ecological communities. Here we studied responses plant communities in an alpine grassland Tibetan Plateau environmental warming across taxonomic, levels a 6‐year multiple‐level experiment. While low‐level did not alter either species richness or phylogenetic/functional community structure, high‐level significantly decreased richness....
Global environmental change is altering the Earth's ecosystems. However, much research has focused on ecosystem-level responses, and we know substantially less about community-level responses to global stressors. Here conducted a 6-yr field experiment in high-altitude (4600 m asl) alpine grassland Tibetan Plateau explore effects of nitrogen (N) addition rising atmospheric CO2 concentration plant communities. Our results showed that N enrichment had synergistic Adding or alone did not alter...
Abstract Anthropogenic environmental changes, such as nitrogen (N) enrichment and alteration in precipitation regimes, significantly influence ecosystems world‐wide. However, we know little about whether how these changes alter the phylogenetic properties of ecological communities. Based on a 7‐year field experiment temperate semi‐arid steppe Inner Mongolia, China, investigated increased N plant structure patterns species colonization extinction. Our study demonstrated that water addition...
Legumes are characterized as keeping stable nutrient supply under nutrient-limited conditions. However, few studies examined the legumes' stoichiometric advantages over other plants across various taxa in natural ecosystems. We explored differences nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry of different tissue types (leaf, stem, root) between N
Understanding ecological mechanisms regulating the evolution of biodiversity is much interest to ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Adaptive radiation constitutes an important process that generates biodiversity. Competition has long been thought influence adaptive radiation, but directionality its effect associated remain ambiguous. Here, we report a rigorous experimental test role competition on using rapidly evolving bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 interacting with multiple...
Abstract Plant microbiomes are known to influence host fitness and ecosystem functioning, but mechanisms regulating their structure poorly understood. Here, we explored the assembly of leaf epiphytic endophytic bacterial communities using a subtropical forest biodiversity experiment. Both diversity increased as tree increased. However, in more diverse forests was driven by greater (i.e. α ‐diversity) on individual trees, whereas dissimilarity composition β among trees. Mechanistically,...
Over the years, microbial community composition in rhizosphere has been extensively studied as most fascinating topic ecology. In general, plants affect soil microbiota through rhizodeposits and changes abiotic conditions. However, a consensus on response of traits to bulk soils various ecosystems worldwide regarding diversity structure not reached yet. Here, we conducted meta-analysis 101 studies investigate between across plant species (maize, rice, vegetables, other crops, herbaceous,...
Adaptive radiation is an important evolutionary process, through which a single ancestral lineage rapidly gives rise to multiple newly formed lineages that specialize in different niches. In the first-arrival hypothesis, David Lack emphasized importance of species colonization history for adaptive radiation, suggesting earlier arrival diversifying would allow it radiate greater extent. Here, we report on first rigorous experimental test this using evolving bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens...
Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition poses a serious threat to terrestrial biodiversity and alters plant soil microbial community composition. Species turnover nestedness reflect the underlying mechanisms of variations in However, it remains unclear how species contribute different responses taxonomic groups (plants microbes) N enrichment. Here, based on 13‐year consecutive multi‐level addition experiment semiarid steppe, we partitioned β ‐diversity into components explored why communities...
Abstract Anthropogenic environmental changes are known to affect the Earth's ecosystems. However, how these influence assembly trajectories of impacted communities remains a largely open question. In this study, we investigated effect elevated nitrogen (N) deposition and increased precipitation on plant taxonomic phylogenetic β‐diversity in 9‐year field experiment temperate semi‐arid steppe Inner Mongolia, China. We found that both N water addition significantly β‐diversity, whereas N, not...
