Higher ecosystem nitrogen (N) inputs resulting from human activities often suppress soil microbial biomass and respiration, thereby altering biogeochemical cycling. Soil acidification carbon (C) limitation may drive these responses, yet their relative importance remains elusive, which limits our understanding of the longer term effects increasing N inputs. In a field experiment with continuous addition at seven different rates 0 to 50 g m-2 year-1 over 6 years in temperate grassland Inner...
Abstract The allocation and stoichiometry of plant nutrients in leaves reflect fundamental ecosystem processes, biotic interactions, environmental drivers such as water availability. Climate change will lead to increases drought severity frequency, but how canopy respond drought, these responses may vary with community composition along aridity gradients is poorly understood. We experimentally addressed this issue by reducing precipitation amounts 66% during two consecutive growing seasons...
Determining the abundance of N isotope (δ15 N) in natural environments is a simple but powerful method for providing integrated information on cycling dynamics and status an ecosystem under exogenous inputs. However, whether input different compounds could differently impact plant growth their 15 signatures remains unclear. Here, response three dominant plants (Leymus chinensis, Carex duriuscula, Thermopsis lanceolata) to addition (NH4 HCO3 , urea, NH4 NO3 ) at multiple rates were assessed...
Eutrophication is a serious problem in Chinese seas. We explore possibilities to avoid coastal eutrophication without compromising food production the North China Plain. used Model Assess River Inputs of Nutrient seAs (MARINA 1.0) for back-casting and scenario analysis. Avoiding by 2050 implies required reductions river export total nitrogen (TN) phosphorus (TP) 50-90% Hai, Huai Huang rivers. analyzed potential meet these targets 54 scenarios assuming improvements manure recycling,...
Abstract Soil respiration, R s , is strongly controlled by water availability in semiarid grasslands. However, how affected precipitation change (either as rainfall or snowfall) especially under increasing nitrogen (N) deposition has been uncertain. A manipulative experiment to investigate the responses of growing season changes spring snowfall summer with without N addition was conducted temperate steppe China during three hydrologically contrasting years. Our results showed that both snow...
Abstract Financial inclusion is a key policy for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals worldwide. However, emerging evidence has challenged universal effectiveness of this policy. Combining cross-sectional socio-economic and ecological survey with regional macro-economic climatic data, we undertook an integrated causal analysis impact financial on Inner Mongolian herder social-ecological system. Exposure to economic globalization climate change threatened livelihoods via increased...
Phylogenetic relationships were inferred using nucleotide sequences of the chloroplast gene matK for 26 species representing 11 genera tribe Oryzeae and three outgroup species. The sequenced fragments varied from 1522 base pairs (bp) to 1534 bp in length with 15.4% variable 7.9% phylogenetically informative sites when outgroups excluded. aligned analyzed by maximum parsimony neighbor-joining methods. Analyses sequence data indicated that form a strongly supported monophyletic group,...
Abstract Both water and nitrogen (N) availability have significant effects on ecosystem CO 2 exchange (ECE), which includes net productivity (NEP), respiration (ER) gross photosynthesis (GEP). How N influence ECE in arid semiarid grasslands is still uncertain. A manipulative experiment with additions of rainfall, snow was conducted to test their a temperate steppe northern China for three consecutive years contrasting natural precipitation. increased annual precipitation but approached peak...
Ecotourism is a promising solution for channeling tourism revenues to promote nature conservation and poverty alleviation. However, vulnerable social-ecological conditions may limit the effects of ecotourism in dry rangelands around world. This study implemented paired experimental design survey impacts Ergun grassland, one China's most commended regions. Compared with livestock feeding business, local achieved several sustainable development goals, such as providing income people, improving...
Trade-offs between eco-environment protection and socioeconomic development hinder the success of sustainable goals (SDGs). Solutions based on ecosystem services (ESs) provide co-benefits pathways for fulfilling SDGs. However, assessing progress towards SDGs contribution ESs to is lacking. Here we assessed s patial-temporal changes service values (ESV) SDG scores in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region (BTH) over past 20 years using “ES-SDG linkages.” The total ESV ES-SDG Index score BTH showed a...
Soil desertification is an important factor leading to soil degradation and environmental problems such as atmospheric or water pollution. Conservation agriculture, crop rotation conservation tillage, can reduce erosion nutrient loss caused by wind in semi-arid regions. However, the relationships between of nutrients surface vegetation characteristics are frequently obtained according a short-term simulation experiment, which makes application conclusions limited. In this study, we conducted...
Greenscaping, a key sustainable practice, helps cities combat rising temperatures and climate change. Urban parks, pivotal greenscaping element, mitigate the urban heat island (UHI) effect. In this study, we utilized high-resolution remote sensing imagery (GF-2 Landsat 8, 9) in situ measurements to analyze seasonal thermal regulation of different park types Zhengzhou, China. We calculated vegetation characteristic indices (VCIs) landscape patterns (LMs) employed boosted regression tree...
Leaf is essential for plant growth and development; however, the relative importance of environmental filtering phylogeny in determining leaf size across different spatial scales grassland ecosystems remains poorly explored. We used transect methodology to explore variation its underlying mechanisms grasslands along three topographically floristically distinctive plateaus northern China. measured a total 1192 species Tibetan Plateau (TP, temperature limited), Loess (LP, soil-nutrient...
