Past studies have widely documented the decrease in species diversity response to addition of nutrients, however functional is often independent from diversity. In this study, we conducted a field experiment examine effect nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization ((NH4)2 HPO4) at 0, 15, 30 60 g m-2 yr-1 (F0, F15, F30 F60) after 4 years continuous on diversity, its relationship with productivity an alpine meadow community Tibetan Plateau. To purpose, three community-weighted mean trait values...
Human activities have dramatically increased nutrient inputs to ecosystems, impacting plant community diversity, composition and functioning. Extensive research has shown that a decrease in species diversity an increase productivity are common phenomenon following fertilization grasslands ecosystem. The magnitude of the response above-ground net primary (ANPP) mainly depends on traits (mean trait values) variability (plasticity). Our aim this study was examine (i) changes (species richness...
Abstract. Climate change and human activities have caused a shift in vegetation composition soil biogeochemical cycles of alpine wetlands on the Tibetan Plateau. The primary goal this study was to test for associations between community-weighted mean (CWM) traits, functional diversity, properties during wetland drying. We collected samples investigated aboveground swamp, swamp meadow, typical meadow environments. Four CWM trait values (specific leaf area is SLA, dry matter content LDMC, LA,...
Abstract Lignin, a highly polymerized organic component of plant cells, is one the most difficult aromatic substances to degrade. Selective biodegradation under mild conditions promising method, but dynamic variations in lignin monomers during lignocellulose are not fully understood. In this study, we evaluated differences degradation different microbial inoculation based on monomer content, ratio, and stable hydrogen isotope ratio methoxy groups (δ 2 H LM ). The weight loss net...
Grassland covers approximately one-third of the area Loess Plateau and plays an important role in carbon (C) nitrogen (N) cycles. This study was conducted to estimate C N storage grassland ecosystems under different climates (semi-humid, semi-arid arid). Results indicated that about 90% ecosystem were stored soil. Soil organic (SOC) density grasslands climatic zones decreased order, semi-humid (53.34 Mg ha−1) > (50.22 arid (19.13 zone. Also, zone had highest belowground biomass (1.01 (0.25...
Abstract Aims Clipping or mowing for hay, as a prevalent land-use practice, is considered to be an important component of global change. Root production and turnover in response clipping have great implications the plant survival strategy grassland ecosystem carbon processes. However, our knowledge about effect on root dynamics mainly based living biomass, limited by lack spatial temporal observations. The study aim was investigate seasonal variations length mortality their distribution...
The biomass estimation, nutrient stock, and stoichiometric characteristics are critical for understanding forest productivity quality. To date, there is not enough comprehensive research on stock of each tissue among different tree species in the semi-arid region Loess Plateau. So, six dominant were selected to estimate by allometric equation analyze effects allocation variance analysis our study. Results showed that biomass, concentration, varied with species. Betula platyphylla Pinus...
Fencing is the common management practice to restore degraded grasslands. However, long-term fencing decreases grassland productivity and species diversity. The study was therefore conducted as a three-year (2011-2013) experiment with randomized complete block in fenced for 20 years Loess Plateau of China, effects fertilization, burning grazing on aboveground biomass, functional group composition, some diversity were analysed. Our results showed that perennial bunchgrasses dominated...
Plant restoration strategies are ubiquitously employed for the purposes of soil and water conservation ecological improvement in forest ecosystems. Despite N temperature being acknowledged as pivotal factors affecting plant outcomes, their effects on fertility, microbial communities, shrub biomass remain underexplored, particularly loess hilly regions China. Here, we examined growth patterns nutrient acquisition abilities three species, Periploca sepium, Amorpha fruticosa, Vitex negundo,...
