Abstract The frequency and amount of precipitation exert profound impacts on plants the soil subsystem in dryland ecosystems. To quantitatively assess effect ecosystem carbon fluxes during growing season, a field experiment was carried out native desert‐grassland Inner Mongolia to determine dynamics along gradient (−60%, −40%, −20%, CK, +20%, +40%, +60%; CK is natural precipitation). net productivity (NEP) gross (GEP) exhibited single peak, whereas respiration (Reco) bimodal peak across all...
Abstract The integration of atmospheric water harvesting and rooftop agriculture presents a promising solution for decentralized food supply in urban areas. However, the degradation adsorption material kinetics after scaling up, coupled with fluctuations solar energy, results reduced unstable production. Herein, composite adsorbent composed manganese (II)‐ethanolamine complexes incorporated into hierarchical interconnect polypyrrole‐doped matrix is developed. This structure significantly...
Abstract Plant species affect soil bacterial diversity and compositions. However, little is known about the role of dominant plant in shaping community during restoration sandy grasslands Horqin Sandy Land, northern China. We established a mesocosm pots experiment to investigate short‐term responses composition, related properties degraded soils without vegetation (bare sand as control, CK ) with five that dominate across stages: Agriophyllum squarrosum ( AS ), Artemisia halodendron AH...
China launched the National Desert Park (NDP) initiative over a decade ago, making this an opportune time to assess its effectiveness. This paper examined one of pilot parks, Inner Mongolia Ongniud Bolongke NDP, as case study. Questionnaire surveys were completed by 190 residents and visitors in 2023 whether park designation development achieving desired improvements human well-being. Respondents also provided feedback on management status their attitudes toward NDP policy. Responses...
Precipitation is a key driver of litter decomposition in arid/semiarid regions; where soils are poor organic matter, and thus re-incorporation for soil nutrient accumulation structure. It remains unclear, though, whether responds symmetrically to precipitation variation (e.g., if surpluses produce stimulatory effect similar magnitude, but opposite direction inhibitory effects deficits), dynamics arid semiarid ecosystems that differ climate show responses precipitation. We set up...
Abstract To evaluate the effects of shrub litter addition on microbial abundance in sandy dunes Horqin Sandy Land, litters Artemisia halodendron, Caragana microphylla, and Salix gordejevii were collected added to mobile dune, semi-mobile semi-fixed dune fixed at 0 cm (on soil surface) 10 deep sand. After one year, bacterial, actinomycetic, fungal measured sites. Results showed that bacteria, actinomycete, fungi soils with was significantly higher than without additional litter. A....
Abstract Leaf is the main component of litter that often exists in mixed forms nature. However, effects leaf decomposition desert ecosystems remain unclear. To reveal and influence quality on ecosystems, a 5‐year long‐term study was conducted to compare observed expected mass loss single‐species (equal proportions natural proportions) litters two typical perennial gramineous plants ( Stipa klemenzii Achnatherum splendens ) steppe Northern China. The relationship between qualities also...
Responses of plants exposed to drought and rewatering have been well documented; however, little is known concerning strategies psammophyte under different soil nutrient regimes. For this study, Pennisetum centrasiaticum two regimes was subjected progressive subsequent rewatering. Soil water status, gas exchange characteristics, chlorophyll a fluorescence characteristics as biomass traits were measured investigate ecophysiological responses. Net photosynthesis rate (P n), stomatal...
Litter mass loss and nutrient release are key links in the material cycling energy flowing ecosystems of special ecological significance maintaining ecosystem stability, improving soil structure promoting vegetation restoration arid semi-arid regions. Furthermore, litter could be affected by change precipitation patterns. However, currently, most studies on response to pattern focus amount much more than frequency. Therefore, we conducted a three-year manipulative research desert steppe...
Spatial heterogeneity plays a crucial role in affecting the ecologial processes natural ecosystems, yet how spatial of herbaceous vegetation desert-grassland transitional zone varies with increased scale are still poorly known. We measured plant height, density, species richness and aboveground biomass (AGB) at small (0.25 × 0.5 km), medium (0.5 km) large 1 scales two adjacent communities (shrub- grass-dominated) desert steppe, Inner Mongolia. used geostatistical methods to examine magnitude...
Evaluations of restoration success usually focus on the structural aspects ecosystems. Pollination, as an important functional aspect, is often overlooked. Here, shifts in pollinator assemblage and pollen limitation desert shrub Caragana microphylla were examined along a gradient Horqin Sand Land, northern China. We identified seven species bees; however, only four bee found to be effective pollinators, with Xanthosaurus remota dominating fixed dunes, no or single species, X. remota, being...
In this paper, by means of sliding mode control (SMC), the problem resulted local input matrices is investigated for fuzzy markovian jumping system. The stability considered Markovian system with multiple sub-input can be fulfilled using method in paper. First, state equation transformed according to matrices. Second, equation, surface constructed. This contains several sub-surfaces. It deal kind and uncertainties. And another characteristic that there not process reaching surface; settle...
