Resources can affect plant productivity and biodiversity simultaneously thus are key drivers of their relationships in addition to plant-plant interactions. However, most previous studies only focused on a single resource while neglecting the nature multidimensionality. Here we integrated four essential resources for growth into metric diversity (RD) investigate its effects productivity-biodiversity relationship (PBR) across Chinese grasslands. Results showed that habitats differing RD have...
Abstract Droughts and heat waves are increasing in magnitude frequency, altering the carbon cycle. However, understanding of underlying response mechanisms remains poor, especially for combination (hot drought). We conducted a 4‐year field experiment to examine both individual interactive effects drought wave on cycling semiarid grassland across individual, functional group, community ecosystem levels. Drought did not change below‐ground biomass (BGB) or above‐ground (AGB) due compensation...
Extensive grassland degradation under climate change and intensified human activities has threatened ecological security caused a variety of environmental problems. However, it is still challenging to predict the status on large scale because multi-factorial phenomenon with complex changes in ecosystem structure function, which hard be fully characterized through mechanism models. The emergence machine learning algorithms provides potential model systems mine information from multi-source...
The spatial pattern and community assembly of soil microbial taxa have notable meanings for biodiversity shaping maintaining mechanisms. Rare fungal may exhibit distinct patterns mechanisms compared to abundant taxa, but such information is limited, especially at large scales. Here, we investigated distance-decay underlying rare in 129 samples collected across 4,000 km Chinese Northern grasslands, based on high-throughput sequencing data. A total 208 OTUs (relative abundance > 0.1%, 2.73%...
Though being fundamental to global diversity distribution, little is known about the geographic pattern of soil microorganisms across different biotas on a large scale. Here, we investigated prokaryotic communities from Chinese northern grasslands scale up 4000 km in both alpine and temperate biotas. Prokaryotic similarities increased over distance after tipping points 1760–1920 km, generating significant U-shape pattern. Such was likely due decreased disparities environmental heterogeneity...
Environmental factors that are important in shaping microbe community structure less explored along elevation the alpine grassland ecosystem of Tibet Plateau, which is generally phosphorus limited. Here, we examined soil prokaryote communities at three elevations to explore distribution and mediation Noijin Kangsang Peak, Tibetan Plateau. Results showed compositions differed significantly by elevations. Topsoil or subsoil richness Shannon diversity were lower middle than other elevations,...
In alpine meadows, plants and soil microbes typically engage in competition for nitrogen (N) under N-deficient conditions. However, the acquisition distribution of N among meadow degradation climate warming induced by global change are still uncharacterized. this study, we isotope labeled inorganic (NH4+-15N, NO3−-15N) organic (glycine-15N) both degraded non-degraded plots using open-top chambers (OTC) to mimic increasing air temperatures. After 6 h, 15N contents were measured investigate...
Abstract Soil nematodes play pivotal roles in the soil food web. However, trophic regulation on micro‐food web and its temporal dynamics are less explored. Here, we investigated seasonal of nematode community an alpine grassland Qinghai–Tibet Plateau at non‐degraded (ND), moderately degraded (MD) severely (SD) stages, either under open‐top chamber warming (W) or not (NW). Nematode richness was higher SD than MD ND that did differ, accompanied by a clear shift from bottom‐up via belowground...
Our current understanding of the ecology and functions rare microbial taxa largely relies on research conducted prokaryotes. Despite key ecological roles soil fungi, little is known about biogeographic patterns drivers abundant fungi in soils.
As an indicator and regulator of climate environmental change, the Tibet Plateau is important barrier for ecological security. However, despite importance soil microbial communities in almost all biochemical processes ecosystem functions, biogeography on poorly understood, especially at large scales over different types. In this study, we collected samples from 64 sampling sites representing grassland types spanning 2121 km across Plateau. We then used next generation high-throughput...
Abstract Aim Species–area relationships (SAR) are widely utilized for estimating the species richness and its spatial turnover across various scales. Despite prevalent characterization of SAR using power law in many microbial community studies, efficacy remains unvalidated. This study aims to characterize mechanisms alpine grassland soils on Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP). Location Plateau, China. Time Period August 2014. Major Taxa Studied Soil bacteria. Methods samples were collected from...
Global warming can trigger dramatic glacier area shrinkage and change the flux of glacial runoff, leading to expansion subsequent retreat riparian wetlands. This elicits interconversion wetlands their adjacent ecosystems (e.g., alpine meadows), probably significantly impacting ecosystem nitrogen input by changing soil diazotrophic communities. However, community differences between remain largely unexplored. Here, soils were collected from meadows at six locations foreland lake mouth along a...
Young moso bamboo shoots are a popular seasonal food and an important source of income for farmers, with value cultivation estimated at $30,000 per hectare. Bamboo also has great environmental importance its unique physiology is scientific interest. A rare valuable phenomenon recently appeared where large number adjacent buds within single rhizome have grown into shoots. Although practical the production edible shoots, such occurrences not been scientifically studied, due to their rarity....
Linkages between soil potentials and microbial functional genes are central in ecology, though conflicting results have been obtained. Here, we investigated such linkages for log-transformed abundances of nitrogen (N) from grassland soils. The nitrification potential increased with rising A-amoA abundance only after it reaching 8.49×e10 copy numbers g-1 soil, while the denitrification was positively correlated narG nirS 8.44×e10 8.12×e10 respectively. Moreover, ratio A-amoA/B-amoA more...
