A fundamental challenge in soil macroecology is to understand how microbial community structure shapes ecosystem function along environmental gradients of the land surface at broad spatial scales (i.e. horizontal dimension). However, little known about structure–function relationships extreme environments depth finer vertical Here, we propose a general dimension partitioning approach for assessing patterns and drivers across simultaneously. We leveraged 200‐km desert salinity gradient...
Vegetation restorations are crucial strategies for combating land degradation, yet their mechanisms on improving soil quality, especially from perspective of fertility, remain far clear. Sparse trees in semi-arid savanna grasslands (i.e., climate communities) offer a provoking reference vegetation restoration. Here, taking advantage Ulmus macrocarpa Hance fertile islands the ecosystem Daqinggou National Nature Reserve, this study aimed to investigate vertical and horizontal distribution...
Salinization poses great threats to soil fungal communities that would cause the losses of ecosystems services. Soil are composed different functional guilds such as saprotrophic, symbiotrophic, and pathotrophic fungi, each guild includes many rare taxa a few abundant taxa. Despite low abundance, may be crucial in determining responses entire salinization. However, it remains poorly understood how mediate impacts salinization on community structure. Here, we took advantage salinity gradient...
Microbial carbon (C) and nutrient limitation exert key influences on soil organic (SOC) cycling through enzyme production for C acquisition. However, the intercropping effects microbial its driving factors between rhizosphere bulk are unclear.
Abstract Soil moisture patterns are crucial factors in gully bank erosion and may significantly vary depending on the water conditions before winter freezing. Rainfall events can evoke different responses throughout soil profile of gullies. However, relative importance prewinter rainfall to banks seasonally frozen regions remains unclear. In this study, a field infiltration experiment with four regimes three replicates was conducted October 2017 Mollisol region China. We aimed elucidate...
Cities are prone to ecological problems, yet the impacts of rapid global urbanization on feedback between above- and belowground subsystems remain largely unknown. We sampled roots 8 common herbaceous plants within Fifth Ring (urban areas) in Jiufeng National Forest Park (rural Beijing (China) assess network plant-arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal associations. Using Illumina MiSeq sequencing, 81 AM OTUs were identified 78 herb root samples. The Shannon, Simpson, Pielou indices fungi urban...
Forest gaps play an important role during forest succession in temperate ecosystems. However, the differences spatial distribution and replacement patterns of woody plants (trees shrubs) between primary secondary forests remain unclear gap-filling processes, especially for Northeast China. We recorded 45,619 regenerated trees shrubs young (<10 years), old (10~20 closed stands (i.e., filled gaps) broadleaved Korean pine ( Pinus koraiensis Sieb. Rt Zucc.) vs. (degraded from forests)....
In semi-arid savanna grasslands, the sparse distribution of trees often forms what are commonly known as fertile islands. However, effect these on soil organic carbon (SOC), microbial biomass (MBC), and dissolved (DOC), remains poorly understood. this study, spatial patterns SOC, MBC, DOC were investigated across profiles (0–5, 5–10, 10–30, 30–50, 50–100 cm) at three distances from tree trunk in an elm-dominated ecosystem Northeast China. Our results suggest that significantly influenced by...
Soil bacteria, the predominant microbiota in soil, are subject to law of minimum and tolerance, but assembly patterns soil bacteria response environmental factors remain far from clear. Here, we took advantage an altitudinal gradient (1020-1770 asl) oak-dominant forests assessed whether linearly or nonlinearly respond properties through changes community diversity composition. We found that decreased with increasing altitude terms species richness phylogenetic structure, while they were...
Nitrogen (N) deposition and grazing (G) are two disturbances of grassland ecosystems these can greatly affect soil respiration. To date, few studies have investigated this topic in sandy grasslands. Here, we conducted a manipulative experiment Inner Mongolia, China the year 2013 2014, to investigate effects N addition on The results showed that significantly accelerated respiration both 2014. enhancement under varied during growing season, being larger early May 2014 (0.40 μmol·m−2·s−1) July...
Aims Null model is an important basis for nesting judgment.Highly asymmetric structures often appear in plant symbolic fungal networks.This study aims to explore the influence of matrix changes on network judgment. MethodsThe was conducted based various null construction methods.Important findings Constraints vary with changing models, reducing space when additional qualifications were added during establishment.Highly constrained nulls are prone causing type II errors.Highly networks...
