Abstract Similar land-use types usually have similar soil properties, and, most likely, microbial communities. Here, we assessed whether or chemical properties are the primary drivers of community composition, and how changes in one part ecosystem affect another. We applied Ion Torrent sequencing to bacterial fungal communities five different (vegetation) Loess Plateau China. found that overall trend quality was natural forest > plantation bare land. Dominant phyla consisted...
Over the past 2 to 3 decades, Chinese forests are estimated act as a large carbon sink, yet magnitude and spatial patterns of this sink differ considerably among studies. Using microwave (L- X-band vegetation optical depth [VOD]) (normalized difference index, leaf area tree cover) remote-sensing products, study compared live woody aboveground biomass (AGC) dynamics over China between 2013 2019. Our results showed that cover has highest consistency with published AGC maps (mean correlation...
Abstract The changing climate and intensifying human activities have made an impact on the hydrological processes in upper Yangtze River (UYR), but quantifying their effects remains uncertain. This study used Budyko framework to investigate response of runoff ( Q ) change during 1956–2017 evaluate impacts activities, including land use/cover change, water use, dam construction, vegetation watershed characteristic. Results show that is dominant driver variations Wujiang (WJR), Jialing (JLR),...

Abstract The semi‐arid region of the Loess Plateau in China is characterized by its fragile ecosystems. Soil erosion and water shortage are major factors influencing ecology hydrology vegetation this area. For proper management watershed ecosystems, quantification use types needed. We used Granier‐type thermal dissipation probes a black locust ( Robinia pseudoacacia ) plantation upscaled stand transpiration from individual measurements stem sap flow. Stand during growing seasons 2008–2010...
Understanding anthropogenic influences on soil respiration (R s) is critical for accurate predictions of carbon fluxes, but it not known how R s responds to grazing exclusion (GE). Here, we conducted a manipulative experiment in meadow grassland the Tibetan Plateau investigate effects GE s. The livestock significantly increased moisture and above-ground biomass, decreased temperature, microbial biomass (MBC), Regression analysis indicated that were mainly due changes moisture, MBC. Compared...
Land surface temperature (LST) is an important parameter to evaluate environmental changes. In this paper, time series analysis was conducted estimate the interannual variations in global LST from 2001 2016 based on moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) LST, and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) products fine particulate matter (PM2.5) data Atmospheric Composition Analysis Group. The results showed that seasonally integrated (SINDVI), PM2.5 increased by 0.17 K,...
Abstract Soil microbial community plays important roles in altering ecological processes and biogeochemical cycles ecosystems. However, little is known about how afforestation influences the diversity, composition, network of soil karst regions. In this study, samples were collected from one farmland (FL) three lands including bamboo forest (BA), landscape tree planting (LAT), orange orchard (ORO) a region Southwest China. The bacterial fungal communities characterized using high‐throughput...
Core Ideas Topsoil SIC storage decreased with restoration age, but subsoils were unchanged. SOC was the main driving force of in topsoil. Sand and silt contents controlling factors subsoils. Soil total C remained stable across sequence. inorganic (SIC) comprises approximately a third global soil pool, which plays an important role cycling. However, there is still considerable disagreement on direction magnitude changes stocks following vegetation restoration. We conducted study comparing at...
Abstract Vegetation restoration has been widely implemented as an effective approach to the control of soil erosion. However, severe desiccation is likely occur if vegetation types and local precipitation conditions are not accounted for. In this study, abandoned farmland three typical types, including a natural shrubland, plantation black locust, oak secondary forest, were investigated determine characteristics moisture in different hydrological years. The responses analysed at timescales....
