Recent studies have suggested that tropical forests may not be resilient against climate change in the long term, primarily owing to predicted reductions rainfall and forest productivity, increased tree mortality, declining biomass carbon sinks. These changes will caused by drought-induced water stress ecosystem disturbances. Several recent reported has mortality temperate boreal forests, or both recruitment rates forests. However, no study yet examined these subtropical account for majority...
Information on how large‐scale forest changes affect water resources is important in China as country‐wide reforestation programs are being implemented and concerns have arisen over possible reduction. In this study, budget analysis statistical methods were used to assess the effects of significant recovery river discharge at Guangdong Province based 50 years data. We realized yield (RWY) a balance term between outflows from inflows province represent produced solely Province. The...
Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays critical roles in stabilizing atmospheric CO2 concentration, but the mechanistic controls on amount and distribution of SOC global scales are not well understood. In turn, this has hampered ability to model C budgets find measures mitigate climate change. Here, based data from a large field survey campaign with 2600 plots across China's forest ecosystems collection published forested land, we that low litter carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (C/N) high wetness...
Abstract. Soil carbon sequestration plays an essential role in mitigating atmospheric CO2 increases and the subsequently global greenhouse effect. The storages dynamics of soil organic (SOC) 0–30 cm depth different landscape types including beaches, reservoir pond, reed wetland, forest bush farmland, building land, bare land (severe saline land) salt field modern Yellow River Delta (YRD) were studied based on data regional survey laboratory analysis. classified by interpretation remote...
BackgroundNatural forest succession often affects soil physical and chemical properties. Selected properties were studied in an old-growth across a successional series Dinghushan Nature Reserve, Southern China. Methodology/Principal FindingsThe aim was to assess the effects of change on Soil samples (0–20 cm depth) collected from three types at different stages, namely pine (Pinus massoniana) (PMF), mixed broadleaf (PBMF) monsoon evergreen (MEBF), representing early, middle advanced stages...
Phosphorus (P) is often one of the most limiting nutrients in highly weathered soils humid tropical forests and may regulate responses carbon (C) feedback to climate warming. However, response P warming at ecosystem level not well understood because previous studies have comprehensively assessed changes multiple processes associated with Here, we detected cycle a 7-year continuous experiment by translocating model plant-soil ecosystems across 600-m elevation gradient, equivalent temperature...
Previous studies have provided valuable insights into the impact of green space (GS) on land surface temperature (LST). However, there is a need for in-depth comparative research changing landscape patterns in cities and their effects urban thermal environment. This study investigates spatial arrangement GS influence impervious surfaces LST areas, examining cooling warming landscapes Beijing Islamabad. The aims to assess using moving window 1 km2 analyze overall effect Using Gaofen (GF–2)...
Introduction Constructed wetlands have become crucial ecosystems for the purification of industrial and agricultural water. The health wetland plants efficacy water are strongly influenced by root-associated bacteria. However, our understanding functions bacterial communities in plant different root components (i.e., rhizosphere, rhizoplane, endosphere) their impact on is still limited. Methods To address this knowledge gap, we employed high-resolution 16S rRNA deep amplicon sequencing to...
Shallow water, strong sediment resuspension, complex river inputs and frequent cyanobacterial blooms characterize the waters of Lake Taihu. In such shallow, eutrophic lakes, remote sensing phycocyanin (PC), a characteristic pigment cyanobacteria, is dependent on estimation precision phytoplankton absorption. For Taihu, we monitored seasonal–spatial variation absorption, three-band model was calibrated validated to estimate absorption (aph(665)) from dataset spatial temporal patterns...
Abstract Warming may have profound effects on nitrogen (N) cycling by changing plant N demand and underground supply. However, large uncertainty exists regarding how warming affects the integrated dynamic in tropical forests. We translocated model plant‐soil ecosystems from a high‐altitude site (600 m) to low‐altitude sites at 300 30 m simulate 1.0°C 2.1°C, respectively, China. The of experimental components plant, soil, leaching, gas were studied over 6 years. Our results showed that foliar...
Tropical and subtropical forests play a crucial role in global carbon (C) pools, their responses to warming can significantly impact C-climate feedback predictions of future warming. Despite earth system models projecting reductions land C storage with warming, the magnitude this response varies greatly between models, particularly tropical regions. Here, we conducted field ecosystem-level experiment forest southern China, by translocating mesocosms (ecosystem composed soils plants) across...
Interpreting biodiversity patterns and the underlying processes is crucial for evaluating mechanisms of community assembly, but view multifaceted diversity spanning broad spatial extents less strengthened. We implemented an inventory 1260 vegetation plots from shrublands across China with standardized methods analyzed taxonomic phylogenetic differential weighting common rare species, as well co-occurrence structures. Taxonomic were linearly correlated when species weighted equally, had a...
Abstract Evidence suggests that the expected increase in frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events during climate change will alter plant productivity. Therefore, might also be capable changing C sequestration allocation. Here, experimental grassland communities two species compositions, differing their diversity, were exposed either to a simulated single drought or heavy‐rainfall event. The these manipulations imitated local 100‐year according extreme‐value statistics. Effects on...
