Next-Generation Biogeography In 1876, Alfred Russel Wallace mapped the zoogeographical regions of world, based on distributions and taxonomic relationships broadly defined mammalian families. Wallace's classification became a cornerstone modern biogeography reference for wide variety biological disciplines, including global biodiversity conservation sciences. Holt et al. (p. 74 , published online 20 December) present next-generation map wallacean zoogeographic regions, incorporating...
Despite evidence from experimental grasslands that plant diversity increases biomass production and soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, it remains unclear whether this is true in natural ecosystems, especially under climatic variations human disturbances. Based on field observations 6,098 forest, shrubland, grassland sites across China predictions an integrative model combining multiple theories, we systematically examined the direct effects of climate, soils, impacts SOC storage versus...
Significance The Mongolian Plateau, composed mainly of Inner Mongolia in China and the Republic Mongolia, has been experiencing remarkable lake shrinkage during recent decades because intensive human activities climate changes. This study provides a comprehensive satellite-based evaluation across plateau, finds greater decreasing rate number lakes than (34.0% vs. 17.6%) between late 1980s 2010, due to an unsustainable mining boom agricultural irrigation former. Disastrous damages natural...
Understanding variation of plant nutrients is largely limited to nitrogen and a lesser extent phosphorus. Here we analyse patterns in 11 elements (nitrogen/phosphorus/potassium/calcium/magnesium/sulphur/silicon/iron/sodium/manganese/aluminium) leaves 1900 species across China. The concentrations these show significant latitudinal longitudinal trends, driven by influences climate, soil functional type. Precipitation explains more than temperature for all except phosphorus aluminium, the...
The means through which microbes and plants contribute to soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation remain elusive due challenges in disentangling the complex components of SOC. Here we use amino sugars lignin phenols as tracers for microbial necromass plant components, respectively, investigate their distribution surface soils across Mongolian grasslands comparison with published data other grassland world. While decrease, increase SOC contents all examined soils, providing continental-scale...
The Anthropocene is witnessing a loss of biodiversity, with well-documented declines in the diversity ecosystems and species. For intraspecific genetic diversity, however, we lack even basic knowledge on its global distribution. We georeferenced 92,801 mitochondrial sequences for >4500 species terrestrial mammals amphibians, found that 27% higher tropics than nontropical regions. Overall, habitats are more affected by humans hold less wilder regions, although results sensitive to choice...
Mobilization of Arctic permafrost carbon is expected to increase with warming-induced thawing. However, this effect challenging assess due the diverse processes controlling release various organic (OC) pools from heterogeneous landscapes. Here, by radiocarbon dating terrestrial OC components in fluvially and coastally integrated estuarine sediments, we present a unique framework for deconvoluting contrasting mobilization mechanisms surface vs. deep (permafrost) across climosequence Eurasian...
Abstract Aim Statistical species distribution models (SDMs) are the most common tool to predict impact of climate change on biodiversity. They can be tuned fit relationships at various levels complexity (defined here as parameterization complexity, number predictors, and multicollinearity) that may co‐determine whether projections novel climatic conditions useful or misleading. Here, we assessed how model affects performance extrapolations influences ranges under future change. Location...
Elevational range shifts of mountain species in response to climate change have profound impact on biodiversity. However, current evidence indicates great controversies the direction and magnitude elevational across regions. Here, using historical recent occurrence records 83 plant a subtropical mountain, Mt. Gongga (Sichuan, China), we evaluated changes elevation centroids limits (upper lower) along gradients, explored determinants changes. We found that 63.9% shifted their upward, while...
China's massive wave of urbanization may be threatened by land subsidence. Using a spaceborne synthetic aperture radar interferometry technique, we provided systematic assessment subsidence in all major cities from 2015 to 2022. Of the examined urban lands, 45% are subsiding faster than 3 millimeters per year, and 16% 10 affecting 29 7% population, respectively. The appears associated with range factors such as groundwater withdrawal weight buildings. By 2120, 22 26% coastal lands will have...
Abstract Floristic regions reflect the geographic organization of floras and provide essential tools for biological studies. Previous global floristic are generally based on endemism, lacking a phylogenetic consideration that captures evolution. Moreover, contribution tectonic dynamics historical current climate to division remains unknown. Here, by integrating distributions phylogeny 12,664 angiosperm genera, we update explore their temporal changes. Eight realms 16 nested sub-realms...
Abstract Plant–soil feedback (PSF) is an important mechanism determining plant community dynamics and structure. Understanding the geographic patterns drivers of PSF essential for understanding mechanisms underlying diversity patterns. We compiled a large dataset containing 5969 observations from 202 studies to demonstrate global woody non‐woody species. Overall, was negative on average influenced by attributes environmental settings. Woody species PSFs did not vary with latitude, but were...
What determines large-scale patterns of species richness remains one the most controversial issues in ecology. Using distribution maps 11 405 woody China, we compared effects habitat heterogeneity, human activities and different aspects climate, particularly environmental energy, water-energy dynamics winter frost, explored how biogeographic affinities (tropical versus temperate) influence richness-climate relationships. We found that trees, shrubs, lianas all plants strongly correlated with...
The increase of biodiversity from poles to equator is one the most pervasive features nature. For 2 centuries since von Humboldt, Wallace, and Darwin, biogeographers ecologists have investigated environmental historical factors that determine latitudinal gradient species diversity, but underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. recently proposed metabolic theory ecology (MTE) aims explain ecological patterns processes, including geographical richness, in terms effects temperature body...
• Leaf mass per area (LMA), nitrogen concentration (on and bases, Nmass Narea, respectively), photosynthetic capacity (Amass Aarea) use efficiency (PNUE) are key foliar traits, but few data available from cold, high-altitude environments. Here, we systematically measured these leaf traits in 74 species at 49 research sites on the Tibetan Plateau to examine how near extremes of plant tolerance, compare with global patterns. Overall, had higher concentrations capacities compared a dataset,...
The structure of species interaction networks is important for coexistence, community stability and exposure to extinctions. Two widespread structures in ecological are modularity, i.e. weakly connected subgroups that internally highly interlinked, nestedness, specialist interact with a subset those which generalist also interact. Modularity nestedness often interpreted as evolutionary may have relevance persistence resilience against perturbations, such climate‐change. Therefore, historical...
Forest canopy height is an important indicator of forest biomass, species diversity, and other ecosystem functions; however, the climatic determinants that underlie its global patterns have not been fully explored. Using satellite LiDAR-derived heights field measurements world's giant trees, combined with climate indices, we evaluated height. The mean was highest in tropical regions, but tall forests (>50 m) occur at various latitudes. Water availability, quantified by difference between...
